“you can’t make fun of this” - famously an edict that the military obeys unquestioningly and would never disobey out of earshot of an officer

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.

The Pentagon Is Ordering Staff to Watch Hegseth’s ‘MAGA Garbage’ Speech… Or Else

Defense Department sources tell Zeteo that staff have been warned that if they don’t watch or read the speech, or if they speak negatively of it, they could face severe consequences.

i love this shot from gokaiger but it's so funny out of context because usually in these images it's only one or two people who are out of place but for this one it's like what are ANY of you doing here together.

FYI for twitch streamers: You can disable the annoying bird promotion on your channel by navigating to Creator Dashboard->View Rewards->Rewards

Screenshot from my creator dashboard on twitch. Viewer Rewards -> Rewards has been selected in the left menu. In the center there is an Open Reward Campaign for Duolingo that says "Sub for 3 months for FREE Super Duolingo" The toggle labeled "Enabled" has been toggled off.

it would be funny if the iambic Shakespeare plays were musicals and we just don't have the sheets so we put on a serious voice and try to make the lyrics sound like talking

Conversations with the 8yo DM:

8yo DM: The prices of magic item in DnD are messed up.

Me: How do?

8yo DM: The prices are based off rarity which is supply and they completely ignore demand.

Travis has a point. Tyranny is clever enough to actually be a devil.

Or a Toon, but lets not overcomplicate the theories.

Important to note that this isn’t a problem for the billionaire buying media properties. If they make them into successful rightwing propaganda? Cool more money. If it fails? Cool they’ve destroyed one of the few outlets with the resources to investigate them. Either way they achieved their goal

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.
