1/ I worked at DoD. I literally cannot imagine lawyers coming up with a legal basis for lethal strike of suspected Venezuelan drug boat. Hard to see how this would not be "murder" or war crime under international law that DoD considers applicable. Read expert analysis by @bcfinucane.bsky.social⤵️

That also wasn't an ocean-going vessel, nor was it laden with cargo. So we must conclude that if the video wasn't faked entirely, Trump murdered a boat full of refugees going to Trinidad.

It sounds like @mcuban.bsky.social is, with a straight face, suggesting that if Steve Ballmer had been guilty of routing $28M to Kawhi Leonard off the books, he'd personally spend another $170M to cover the debts of a failed ScamSPAC to prevent that fact from seeing the light of day

There's a free documentary on youtube that just came out called "Listers" and it's so amazing. It's about birdwatching with two brothers who have never birdwatched and do it for a YEAR IN A VAN, it's stellar. Best thing I've watched in a long time. Bonus excellent mullet. youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...

Gender is how we organize not only our society but also our mental models of people. If you think of everyone you've ever met since you were a child, do you remember all their eye colors and hair colors? Of course not. You might not even remember what they look like. But you remember their gender.
River_Tam (@rivertam.bsky.social) reply parent
Try it with a 3yo. "Oh you met and a friend? Describe them." The first thing will be "he" or "she". They might not remember any of the other characteristics. They might not even have words for them. They will know their gender (unless they're non conforming)

Agree with everything except the "should". The need for social validation and acceptance actually changes people's beliefs. And if you can't get it from the left without going full SLA you'll get it from the right for just saying one (1) conservative thing and the over time you'll become more Right
