The great thing about ICBM escalation is that the AI heavily overvalues technology during negotiations, so you can do some pretty crazy shit like having them give you 3 carriers and 4 destroyers in exchange for...helicopters.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

As a sacrifice for getting Half Life 3 we also have to get another 3: 2003 2

I have a brilliant idea on how to counter Russia and China. We could focus on building up our partners in Asia and the ongoing conventional fucking war in Europe instead of a pointless war in South America.

Someone make me a senior fellow. This shit's easy as hell.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

I have many thoughts about this article that can't be put into a mere 300 characters, but I think a core problem is that, given how small Orthodox churches tend to be, they make for ripe "colonization" targets by far-right radicals.

Narrators voice: They were, in fact, mass rapists.

In retrospect, given RFKs beliefs about disease, him eating his own semen that got regurgitated out of someone's ass makes a lot of sense

YOU WANT TO BE ONLINE? ENDURE.

you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong
