Can't do it the legal way (board the vessel, etc.) and leave evidence and witnesses that there weren't drugs or gang members. Just blow 'em up and call it a drug bust.
I have a sinking feeling an absolutely horrific precedent was just set for xenophobic governments all over the world
This slop is antithetical to the founding principles of this nation. Those founding principles are ones that we've never lived up to, and if this *checks notes* sitting Senator (...jesus...) is to be heeded we will end up leaning into failures of the past: xenophobia, segregation, & imperialism.
cool another video of my government murdering people for crimes not punishable by death this time in the ocean with a missile usually it's by a cop with a glock
Congrats to everyone who called those of us who opposed the post-9/11 increase in militarization and executive power âhistrionicâ Now your little President can bomb speed boats with impunity
Him treating big cities like foreign countries is rooted in the fact that he doesn't consider the people who live there "real" Americans.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.
the ruling class will continue to narrow the definition of white until it includes only themselves
no that's /my/ thing you can't have it
When we talk about how "Magneto was right," this is why -- here he is, correctly predicting how this is going to go. It starts with dehumanizing; then that leads to tracking; tracking leads to arrests; arrests lead to camps; camps lead to genocide.

The oceanâs depth here goes up and down by like ten feet every day. PERSON 1: What? PERSON 2: Itâs because the planet has a big moon orbiting near the surface. It causes weird gravity effects.

/2 It was like a trial in Inherit the Wind or To Kill a Mockingbird or someting with everyone mopping their brow and shaking their shirts. Great opportunity for theatricality but itâs a bench trial so didnât lean into it.
i'm not saying 41 minutes late is unheard of what I'm saying is that 41 minutes late is not a good sign if you're a million years old, your overall health journey can be summarized as "life-long mcdonalds enjoyer," and the last time you were spotted in public you looked like you were dying
Idaho can fuck off.

A lot of the big complainers about Bluesky are basically describing Threads but their real issue with Bluesky is that they specifically dislike around 12 people who they could ratio on Twitter if it still existed. Itâs basically niche influencer drama pretending to be about policy
Its so deeply astonishing how people have a hard time understanding that the cost of having children is just so astonishingly large that thereâs virtually no amount of money you can give to people that will make them have one more kid let alone 3 or 4 more.
Our 1st kid was born in South Korea and it was effectively free for 9moths of prenatal care + delivery (we paid out of pocket for some bespoke care but the free stuff alone would have been sufficient). Our 2nd was born in the US and it was an astonishing amount of money. We wonât be having a 3rd.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
Disgraceful, unnecessary, bullshit.

âChicago is a lot of things, but itâs certainly not a âhellhole,â as claimed by the convicted felon, sexual predator, and pathological liar in the White House.â In fact, Chicago is a city of fierce defiance. My free Stop the Presses newsletter.
Under Dr. Oz, Medicare is launching a pilot program that will use AI to determine whether patients would be covered for certain procedures. Companies running the program will be paid a share of the savings from rejecting claims. Who in their right mind voted for this? No one.
Misinformation travels at the speed of like. I just came up with that, they're calling me one of the great understanders of our age.
this tool will come in very handy for ICE when trump starts revoking citizenship from people who disagree with him
âShe reportedly secured a $2 million advance for her book published on the conservative Sentinel imprint of Penguin Random House.â Their attacks about âactivist judgesâ were always a projection.
of course he's going to spend a shitload of money to take something from a blue state and give it to a red one if it's not one crock of shit it's another unlimited shit crocks
Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwoodâs Handmaidâs Tale used to come to power.
I'm honestly surprised they aren't just renaming it "The Department of [insert montage of foreign shit blowing up]".
nvm they're just going to waste a ton of money illegally renaming the DoD to the DoW crock of shit
One of my Supreme Court reform takes is they should be completely barred from taking any outside income (incl. publishing deals) and it should be particularly frowned upon, normatively, to be writing books. Memoirs are for writing after you retire, not five years into a lifetime appointment.
Only idiots want to make the world a better place, Real intellectuals know thatâs impossible so you just have to make sure that the suffering of others doesnât bother you. The less you care, the more philosophically enlightened you are
They like Trump and are trying to help him
The cool thing about a White House announcement these days is that itâs either they took the woke out of Cheetos or we just invaded Venezuela. No in between. Iâd love to hear something about Trump more directly but Iâm convinced the news weâre all waiting for will just happen without warning.
In order of likelihood: 1. Another absurdly illegal executive order related to voting or redistricting 2. Venezuela blockade/ultimatum 3. Declare Chicago/Illinois to be in open rebellion; mobilize military 4. He announces he's ill
Voting EO or Venezuela
Real talk, though, this is what can happen when Europeans surrender their actual identities to partake in the social and political advantages of "whiteness." Their "heritage" becomes corporate logos.
Extraordinary claims [he's alive /and/ well] require extraordinary evidence.

EMPLOYEE UPDATE: Dennis got real fucked up on spray paint today and had another seizure back by the dumpster. In honor of Labor Day, we put up some cones back there with a sign that said THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION. Everyone liked that. Go back to work and enjoy arbys.
since Bluesky is chock full of Newsom-stan-bots insisting that "Dems should compromise on trans issues", I will re-up my November essay about why this is not only immoral & unempirical, but BAD POLITICS. Dems WILL LOSE if they do this, here's why (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/should-democ...

The mind of the American liberal is a dank and fetid place.
My TOS re-watch has reached "The Naked Time." The plot hinges on "somehow, a trained member of a starship thinks nothing of taking off glove so he can scratch his nose and brings deadly virus on board ship" which I used to roll my eyes at but now I look at the world and think, "Yeah, fair."
Ah, yes, the very real group of people who are Pro-Palestine and voted for Trump as a signal of displeasure for Harris. Again, this is a very real group. Not only real, in fact, but numerous and widespread enough to cost Harris every single swing state and the popular vote itself!
Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.
are we ready to get hoovermaxxing?
Bet they're staying in hotels, too.
Mom worked for the phone company through NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, & Verizon and went on strike for all three. I rollerskated the picket line with her at 8 y/o for the big â89 strike. We got food pantry things to get through it. Her union is why she died with good insurance.
If you have not been, now is a really good time to start tracing your multi-size patterns instead of cutting them out. This is a resource we'll never have again.
I've said a number of times that when studying adversaries, it has to be people who want to learn more about them to hate them more effectively because you're otherwise vulnerable to carrying water for them

None of these people were tipped, and this is going to make home ownership an ever more noxious proposition, subject to continual shakedowns.

Mark is right, although I confess I am a hypocrite here, for I wholly support the "remigration" of Elon Musk and Peter Thiel. They have failed to assimilate to our cultural norms and instead have tried to impose their foreign backwards ways upon us, and so must be removed to protect our heritage.

These people are in a cult and live inside a batshit alternate reality and are trying to get as many Americans as possible to join them inside it.
"so the bananas were chasing me around the produce section"
I think we should just act like Trump's dead. Everybody ask JD who gets the VP nomination now that he's president. Ask him how he's going to keep the coalition together now that the boss is dead. Ask him if he'll be doing anything different. Ask him. I can't. I blocked him.
