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.

These people are going to negatively polarize us into a military junta.

Given some of the stuff I've come up with when gaming out the aftereffects of Trump dying, the first is almost a certainty and public opinion is making the second one a matter of scope (making sure we get everyone).

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 11h

the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold

Schnorkles O'Bork @schnorkles.bsky.social · 12h

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

TBH: I'm feeling pretty low right now.

Something I've started to realize about being a man hitting middle age is that you're expected now to be in touch with your emotions(good!) but also no one will teach you how to manage them or help you do it(bad!).

"a little life" is just a tarted-up version of the Anthony Godby Johnson hoax.

oh I forgot one: Hanya Yanagihara's books are misery porn that creepily fetishize the lives of gay men and it is embarrassing that the New York literary establishment so embraces them.

Look, the one open Republican I knew in high school (2016)
wanted to end welfare for everyone due to issues with his mom being an addict and would sneer contemptuously whenever I spoke of helping people.

There's a restaurant near my house (in Indianapolis) that does it. It's like... just a gimmick? It's fine (not a guac guy).

There was never anything wrong with avocados. The problem was white people and their sudden enthusiasm for them. You would go to a restaurant and some cracker waitress would make you watch her make mediocre guacamole at your table like it was a magic show.

I know of at least one in the Indianapolis area. It's fine and a ton of the waiters aren't even white (My neck of the woods has some very good Mexican places).

The thing about authoritarian regimes is that, in the end, there is only one person who's safe from the regime but millions of people who've convinced themselves that it's them.

The, uh, problem is that strong Trump supporters are exactly the sort of people likely to become what profilers call "Family Annihilators".

What's an opinion about X-Men that'll get you sent to jail? Is Jean really interesting or really boring? Should Logan have stayed dead? Do you think a certain x-mens outfit is positively horrendous even though people seem to love it?

The Brood Saga is better than Dark Phoenix imo 🤷

It's why they've invented multiple conspiracy theories to explain away losses & why when those conspiracy theories ultimately collapse they resort to wanting to punish primary voters for failing to recognize their greatness.

Theseus, His Sails Unfurled @whatthelightcando.bsky.social · 18h

I think I finally get it.

People who don't trust democratic primaries think that democratic voters are idiots and will not vote for their "obviously better choice."

I don't know why I never thought of this.
