A reminder that all the war-horny chickenhawks who've never served think the military is entirely infantry and not a single job can be performed, even temporarily, with a minimum of exertion. Why not kick soldiers recovering from surgery out too?
Journalist, sometimes. In Ukraine, living the air raid life.

The wild irony, well worth noting, is that Musk has exploded in rage at Ukraine for fighting back when violence actually did come for them. Violence is his personal pet, it seems.
Anybody ever expect to see Michael Tracey of all people just body somebody like this?
Seeing zei_squirrel there reminds me that multiple polar opposites individuals will hate-69 each other in parasocial online relationships to legitimize their most insane views by ball-flicking the most insane views of their nutcase fuck partner.
I mean yeah also a fair point, but that's an equally not-a-pro move.

Like I said in the next reply, anybody with the sense to aim center mass would have the sense to take that into account, because headshots are needlessly flash. But I suspect if he knew to aim center mass he'd have taken that into account. But either way, not a pro and not a trick shot.
Oh no no no, they'll pretend Bella Ciao is the kind of reference a twenty something would make to an 80 plus-year-old Italian song and not a contemporary Groyper meme.
And nobody aims for the neck. Like you just don't go for carotid/jugular/spine shots. Either that or he over-estimated the distance and was trying to hit the torso, but I doubt that, given that center mass is the more professional, less flash move -- and anybody doing that would zero properly.
It was also a botched shot that got lucky. I'm guessing he did some Kentucky windage and set his zero short -- maybe 100 yards instead of 200 -- and aimed for the head but hit the neck due to drop. Because with a properly zeroed scope on a stationary target it should have hit at the crosshair.
He had a groyper meme on one, a reference to Helldivers on another, a vaguely homophobic reference on a third. Which was anti fascist?
It's like reading Der Angriff being angry at somebody. Good on whoever they're angry at, and fuck them. (Let's not forget Kirk didn't just send busloads of people to Jan 6 -- he bragged about cons wanting a civil war before he sent them. He knew. Defender of democracy and free speech my ass)
1. No you're not 2. Killed by a terminally online groyper
It's only stochastic terrorism when somebody left of Pinochet comments what the reactions might be to an event that already happened. It's Freeze Peach 🥶 🍑 when they do this.
I remember when Charlie Kirk was Very Mad that a WNBA player was treated better than a US Marine. And here they're making him a hypocrite in death. Sad.
Time for Weedlord Bonerhitler and Piss Children to make a return. Or we could all just post Kirk's on words and turn it into a searchable database of Kirk's greatest hits under "Charlie's Murderers". Anyway nice to see the right now believes full throated in stochastic terrorism.
I mean apparently if you're a college dropout grifter you get treated better than a United States Marine, so, there's Kirk, being a hypocrite even in death
In his case, he truly was an asshole who reveled in cruelty masquerading as debate. He did politics all wrong, as a predatory chickenhawk. Doesn't matter, still can't murder him just 'cause.
It's worth mentioning that we needn't have this hagiography. It was people like Kirk who assured us because Floyd was a "Bad Person" it wasn't murder. The smear was false, but it doesn't matter if it were true. Being a "Bad Person" isn't a cheat to avoid rule of law. Same goes for Kirk's killing.
See Charlie there too
extremely interesting indicator of where we are in postmodern syncretism that the guys making Kirk out to be a hero of the Christian faith will simply not comment on a Hindu proposing that he is now in the afterlife of Norse Paganism.
The worst part of the radical left is the dementors.
Zero filterless cigarettes and no bottle of samogon either.
To be clear, the radicals on the left are the problem *because they want transgender for everyone*. Actual quote there. Anyway, this is straight up the thoughts that founded the Sturmabteilung.
The "Slav squat" is very, very meme famous and terminally online.
He's legitimately holding China up as an example of a fair and impartial criminal justice system? K.
(I'm aware that's in the link but given that 50000 people are going to see the picture and not go to the link, I figured...)
To clarify that could be any slav squatting Russian gopnik, not merely a Pepe.
We got a weird fizzle from Medvedev rambling, as he does, about the "Banderite Kiev regime", which is somewhat surprising given how much Kirk lashed out at Ukraine.
"yes your honor my reputation was permanently damaged by the horrendous, risible accusation that I think one floor is safe to jump off I demand ONE MILLION DOLLARS!" Relax man.
Sure. So are shots to the femoral artery, and they're obviously not the kind of shots you take because the target isn't typically as good as other targets you can aim at.
Oh it obviously wasn't the intended shot. Nobody, nobody aims for the neck. It's the head if you want to be fancy, not the neck. And if you don't want to be fancy and just want to guarantee a hit, it's the torso. The neck was, from the shooter's perspective, a very lucky fuck-up.
Or Bell's Palsy. I'd be curious to hear his speech.
You read this thinking the dude just jumped the gun on taking "drinking" to mean alcohol and then no, it turns out he knew it was coffee, it's just that he thinks coffee works like amphetamines.
The Boston Bombing investigation was a backed up toilet compared to the exploding septic tank of net sleuths allergic to critical thinking and with access to LLMs which first responded to the shooting with "just jokes and memes lol".
Man they sure are angry you spoke about Charlie Kirk the way Charlie Kirk spoke about others
Kirk was a *moderate*? Who the hell owns Red Box, Adolf Pinochet-Franco?
We are headed for dark times. These people aren’t mere provocateurs any longer—they are politically consequential. And they will selectively seize on tragedies—politicizing Kirk’s killing but remaining silent about the Minnesota legislators—to turbocharge their illiberal designs.
Criminalizing cheering on and celebrating political violence ironically would have ironically saved Kirk's life given he'd have been in jail.
What he built, the speed he built it, and the speaking to attract others was born out of his disingenuous bullshit. It's the same reason mainstream religions take centuries of organizing while insane death cults set up in less than ten years. There is no need for consistency or an effort at truth
Bad news for his pill stealing mother then, I guess
That gun violence was worth it, that political violence was a joke. And conservatives on the prowl for anyone left of Pinochet speaking of Kirk the way Kirk spoke of others. I'm not happy he was murdered, but I'm not sad he's dead.
Kinda funny that he forgot to mention the Crocus City Hall terror attack in Moscow though, given how insistent Russia was that Ukraine and not the Islamic State was responsible.
Tonight, a group of miscreant Groypers gathered to scream “White Men Fight Back” on the Huntington Beach Pier, in reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. No perp has been caught yet.
Did we watch the same video, because unless the Kool-Aid man was hiding behind Charlie and got shot instead of him, a lot of red liquid that isn't supposed to be outside your body was outside Charlie's.
Borrowed a fuckload of money and never paid it back -- like a quarter mil -- and just like moved into Kathy Griffins home and freaked her out so much she couldn't ask him to leave, etc.
Yes
Oh. Martyrdom and a new villain. How utterly wonderfully shit this will all turn out.
It's not merely a genuinely-held belief, however vile. It's absolute knowledge that the world needs to believe about others what they know is true about themselves, because it is morally bankrupt in every way.
It's interesting how Russian shit factories always fixate, almost personality disorder like, on geopolitical DARVO, from Zelensky's "real estate" (Google Yanukovych Mezhyhirya Residence) to "revanchism," which is obviously in reference to Russian behaviour. They know they're in the wrong.
More like Holy TempLARP amirite. Anyway kinda funny that the Russian troll farms have figured out they sucked the blood out of Twitter and are now trying to set up here
Not for nothing, the ones most engaged in their performative outrage for a Ukrainian refugee are the ones most supportive of Russia's war that made her a refugee in the first place. It's fucking warped.
Ah yes. The people Epstein sexually trafficked were not pre-sexual minors but post-sexual minors. A bit like defending your premeditated murder because you really hated your victim, you didn't just do it for fun. "My evil is a little less evil than your evil" is... A thing, I guess.
Naturally, which feeds the next step, that this disproving of their claims only proves that in the future, other similar protests and demands for evidence just prove they're telling the truth then. An endlessly, self-feeding, vacuous and thoroughly evil cycle.
It's hard not to notice that this is almost exactly the same language Jackson Hinkle used ("[Party X] does [Thing Y] ... again") when the Russian Kh-101 hit Okhmatdyt last year. Party reversal -> Baseless claim to reverse responsibility -> Baseless claim that the same thing happene before
Well see that's Sinophobia because Taiwan isn't really Chinese or something.
I mean cool beans and everything but using a relatively stable non-aligned benevolent dictatorship that decayed into ethnic and sectarian violence during balkanization is, again, a choice.
Using Yugoslavia as an example here is a choice.
I'll reaffirm what @chriso-wiki.bsky.social stated. It may not necessarily be thermite but I'll eat my own foot if that's not an incendiary payload being dropped from a near-stationary UAS.
A disembodied, limbless, headless, mindless young girl. Just tits and ass and the torso to hold them.
the fact that they’re going with an attempted denial rather than “oh, it was just a silly joke, you have TDS, grow up you hysterical lib” goes to show how bad they know this is
Oh good. We've gone from complaining that the Democratic DC admin was cooking the books to hide crime to now cooking the books with harmless domestic violence when they can't take credit for the crime drop. Just top fucking notch really. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
For the "party of family values", it's worth noting the Democratic voters put way more emphasis on making sure any children they have are raised in a financially and emotionally stable environment.
The notion, from Russia, that *if* Ukraine continues to exist, it would do so as a rump/puppet state rather than an independent nation. And of course that involves choking off resources and ports, but not because they are economically important to Russia in the traditional -- normal -- sense of it.
Well, yes and no. It's not about seizing control of those resources because Russia wants them for itself. It's about seizing them to deny a non-compliant, independent post-Maidan Ukraine the ability to economically develop itself in conjunction with the EU.
This article from the NY Post was originally about how Trump arrived to wild acclaim, and then they had to change the headline and body lol. Compare the URL to the hed. nypost.com/2025/09/07/u...
I don't know about you folks, but I plan to deadname the Defense Department every chance I get.
On the other hand it's nice that the old NewsMax floor humper guy is teaching law, and to NewsMax's general counsel no less. Good for him.
Every time I see him I feel like he tried to deal with his male pattern baldness by trimming his pubes and sprinkling them on Vaseline he slathered on his head.
Maxine Waters needs to finish the job.
Ah yes, Mandate-era Zionist groups and the British -- famously chummy. Once hosted a joint fireworks show at the King David Hotel to celebrate the height of Anglo-Israeli relations.
Fun fact: Scalia died in 2016, which means Scalia is either psychic, a resurrectionist, or mastered time travel.
Can you imagine if you tuned into Cherry Ripe or Lincolnshire Poacher and all it was was "89. Please disregard. 7. Please disregard." and then some interval music.
Also worth remembering this same rich man is utterly furious that an entirely imaginary version of South Africa is "treating whites" the way he wants the very real Indian/Asian/African communities to be treated. Just outright white man speshul shit
It was, I can assure you, fucking absurd.
Wasn't that the same one that claimed it was running a numbers station or something?
What the actual fuck is this? I don't even know where to start with this fucking gibberish
And they're wrong. And the notion that mere training data in any form, pirated/stolen or not, is a violation is also wrong.
It's reasonable that at some point, a dev hands off their product to a user, no matter how much predictive text or algorithmic image gen it might engage in, and at the point where users are invited to use it, and it requires those users to interact to generate something, the result isn't the devs'.
Conversely, if it were the devs' expression, then are the devs liable for, say, copy vio? I would assume not, because I can't imagine it being their expression, anymore than I can imagine Microsoft or Adobe claiming their expression over what I write in Word or draw in Photoshop.
That tying the devs expression to the output is -- and it is here I go back to the concept of authorship -- like trying to say the dev is expressing him or herself through a machine. Not with a machine as an instrument, but through a machine just running and other people using it.
It's here that the argument is lost on me. The machine is just doing what it is programmed to do in any language it's been fed. It does it without further intervention of the dev, in languages the dev doesn't know, by prompts generated not by the dev but the user. It's so removed from the dev...
Yes, hence why the intervention is the user's. But you could go to an LLM that has taken say Lithuanian training data from a coder who fed it Lithuanian literature without knowing a word of it. The code itself is expressive, but are we suggesting the Lithuanian output is an expression of the dev?
That there's no intervention between the training and the generation on the part of the company owning the LLM? There's a lot of expression for what the company does otherwise, but what the LLM pukes out is arguably -- if anything -- more the expression of the user than the company.
In terms of understanding whether or not expression can be vested in an animal or machine, it's a perfectly good guidepost. The question isn't, can it be copyrighted, the question is, do we have some basis, anywhere, to think this doesn't count as expression as we mean it.
By that measure anybody who feeds paper into a paper shredder owns whatever comes out as their own expression. The LLM gets some training text -- like a macaque with a camera or the paper shredder -- and then does ~whatever~ without human authority or authorship.
I doubt generating responsive text is expressive for the simple reason that a human isn't generating it. That a human took steps to generate it I doubt would even qualify as human intervention for the sake of machine-generated works being copyrightable, and that's as good a guidepost as any.
Can you be left out of the conversation for other reasons as well?
Imagine your defence being nobody should sue you because you violated the law so much that if you had to repay everything you stole, it would bankrupt you. Like imagine that as a fucking defence.
You really should look up when the first residential school opened and when the last residential school closed. The world doesn't revolve around you and your personal grievances, dickhead.
Honestly, any kid who's survived abuse knows this tactic. They are going to escalate no matter what. They will hurt you know matter what. They will unrelentingly attack you no matter what. Are they looking for you hit back to justify their violence? Yes. But their violence will come no matter what
Deranged. Just utterly deranged. Gabbard, not Eisenstat, to be clear.
Dude literally described the decades of Canada's war on the Indigenous, down to the "Indian Fighter" Mounties that slammed Indigenous kids into residential schools until they killed themselves. Gotta be a fucking parody, doesn't it?
Do they, as I said, pretend that they aren't?
How indeed do we know that a country with an actual absolute hereditary monarch is authoritarian? After all, they put Communist tchotchkes on their King's idiot hat. Say what you will of the other monarchies, at least they don't pretend they aren't. And some of them still behead sorcerers.
You really think this is going the Salazar route or even the Franco route? Mighty optimistic.
Halt and Catch Fire was a perfect show that knew, unlike many shows, where to end. Was great watching it back-to-back with Mr. Robot.
Halt and Catch Fire was a truly perfect show.
I mean if you think the Night of the Long Knives didn't presage how far the Third Reich would go because LOL LMAO Ernst Röhm chose to work for Hitler, I don't know what to tell you. It's not fucking hot.
