Remember folks. The original bluesky ethos by us bluesky elders (apparently I count?) is block and move on.
Don't quote dunk, don't pick fights.
Block, and move on.
This is what made this site unpalatable to the right early on, and we can continue to make it unpalatable to them.

Midwit Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll has thoughts about procurement, such as don't, just let the soldiers 3d print their own parts, starting at about 1h16m. Also, the logistics of defending Taiwan are hard, so forget about procurement and logistics, we'll just print everything.

"The Danes used empathy politically—an action abhorred by right-wing leaders, who have gone so far as to brand it as an enemy and a weakness. But what they are leaving unsaid is that fascism cannot prosper where empathy exists."
The Danes Resisted Fascism, and So Can We
Danish resistance didn’t arrive all at once during World War II. But taken as a whole, the Danes’ actions are a testament to what’s possible when we work together to fight fascism.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Reminder the right losing their shit about Superman is entirely manufactured. They don't care about Superman. It could be anything -- Care Bears, Spider-man, a werewolf movie that explodes with audiences -- it's just a tool to push their fake outrage.
The right-wing backlash against #Superman has happened before.
Here’s my @vanityfair.com report w/ the full history —starting with April 1940, when the official SS newspaper attacked the comic book hero & its creators.
Plus, that time Superman fought the KKK…
