Something that really broke my brain was learning that bombs, being made of chemicals, expire after a while.
So if you’ve spent millions on bombs and they’re starting to get a bit old you either have to find someone to drop them on or have wasted that money.

It does boggle the mind how politicians claim we don’t have enough money to feed the hungry, house the unhoused, or provide healthcare, but there is always money for bombs.

Asbestos: the rock that turns lives into money!
Inasmuch as the Trump admin has any consistent tactical approach to policy, I think they just get up in the morning and say to themselves, what’s the most evil, destructive, and stupid thing I could do today? Then they do it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/u...

I continue to be amazed to the extent to which Paul Verhoeven predicted the *feel* of the new American corporate Fascism.
In Robocop and Starship Troopers (also Total Recall) especially he catches this combination of cruelty, excessive self-belief and dumb stupidity exactly.

“Under ‘d’… … for donut”
Everyone has one Mitch Hedberg joke stashed in their brain like a squirrel to sustain them whenever they need to feel joy for 30 seconds and mine is “they say the recipe for Sprite is Lemon and Lime but I tried to make it at home, there’s more to it than that”
