MAGA is a liberation ideology because it gives you the freedom to believe whatever you want to be true is true. Its why so many of them are able to hold such conflicting beliefs, and why Trump never gets in trouble with his base for saying anything he wants.

The federal level dems all thinking there's going to be an "in 26" are going to walk us right into there not being an "in 26" and then are going to act completely shocked

It's hilarious that it would be up at West Point anyway because any honest analysis of the Civil War would show Lee was not a good general. Too deferential and hesitant to he forceful, buoyed by the war's 2 best corps commanders in Longstreet and Jackson.

I was overjoyed when I saw the ambush in Rogue One, because it felt like an actual ambush. And then of course Andor, especially season 2, is more of a WW2 OSS/Maquis story set in Star Wars(and Saw's little piece on revolutions is perfect). We need more non-Star Wars Star Wars stories.

In the old America, this Trump stealing 10% of Intel would be a political scandal large enough to wreck multiple careers, including his own. Now, its barely even a footnote.

This is why I call MAGA a liberation ideology. It liberates you from having to accept reality. Any truth you want is your truth

They aren't stupid. They know why most people are on Medicaid. They just don't care. They just say this so their base won't get mad when they do it, because the base assumes "well, I'm one of the ones that actually needs it", until they find out too late they're cut off too.

As someone who works with literally thousands of airline pilots, they are some of the dumbest smart people you will ever meet. Extremely talented in their lane, largely clueless outside of it. You don't want them picking rulers.

Its so stupid and pointless. Gaming is a great way to relieve stress, but literally takes him from "oh, cool, the guy still has time to play some games while running multiple companies" to "wow, what an insecure fucking loser". No one cares if you're not topping a leaderboard.

All this Trump talk about annexing Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal isn't fascist. It's just a logical move of connecting nearby states to provide more living room for the US. Completely benign.

Looks like Russia denied their requests for an emergency landing, forcing them to fly over the Capsian Sea. My guess is they hoped it would go down over the water to hide the evidence, but the pilots seem to have been damn good to get the plane as far as they did.
Nidi (@nidi.bsky.social) reply parent
The pilots reported a birdstrike because, well, they felt sudden impacts and loss of control surfaces and civilian aircraft have no missile threat detection, so all you would assume is a bird strike. But that damage is absolutely not from a bird strike

I kind of assume the Jedi, since there were relatively so few of them, were basically accorded brevet general rank since they would be expected to be the overall, if not tactical, command in a military situation and to give them preference of rank as would befit their Jedi status. Honorary but not.
