this is a pretty apt metaphor for what the US empire has done to countless governments all across the world, but this time it’s looking in the mirror as US imperialism has finally come home to occupy its own people. this was always destined to happen under US capitalist neoliberalism.

Trump demolishing the White House to build a $250 million ballroom funded by Amazon, Lockheed Martin, and Palantir — all during a government shutdown, and as he covers up the Epstein Files — captures it all pretty well doesn't it

America keeps winning the Stanley cup so it'd make sense for Canada to win the world series at some point

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

why specifically 32 sit-ups

haldo13_38 but spooky I guess @haldo1338.bsky.social · 7h

first two I could do even rn, last one, eeehhhhh (I guess if I really re-trained/pushed myself but even in high school my standard mile wasn’t great even when I jogged the whole time)

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.
“It’s pathetic,” one career ICE official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous.

It will shock you all to learn that:
1. Both drug production and violent cimes in Colombia, while still a problem, are way way down from their highs in the 80s & 90s. Colombia has done excellent work so far on solving this problem
2. Petro is Colombia's first leftist President

He means “Colombia”, like the country.

(Not “Columbia”, like the university.) 🤡

Just a quick glance at theadt few years should have made it clear that israel was 99.99% likely to violate the ceasefire, which makes the decisions by international groups they could have applied pressure (uefa, Eurovision) to suspend their votes to kick Israel out even more cowardly

Last year I reimagined the work of 30+ artists to feature Moe Syzslak. Recreating famous painting was a fun challenge! I’m gonna share some of my favourites the rest of this month.

Here’s Claude Moe-net.
