Argument du Chaudron des MAGgots:
(1) Les USA n'ont jamais été impérialistes contrairement aux Européens. Leurs annexions ne sont que des libérations.
(2) Et la grande faute des Européens est d'avoir cessé d'être impérialistes car l'impérialisme était bon en fait et nous devons le refaire.
Eyes wide open, folks. They're revealing the supervillain plot.

My benchmark is: Dave Sims was doing Cerebus at one page a day and it destroyed its sanity. Think 2 or 3 days per page.
I've had to explain that no, I cannot pencil and ink a 260-page GN in two months, do you even understand the words you're saying to me? I've been asked to design characters, pencil, ink, and color a 200-page GN myself in eight months (I said no).

The rise of deepfakes and AI CSAM prove public and private sectors don’t actually care about abuse, but still punish sex workers, queer people, and women under that guise. Credit cards companies and law enforcement punish consensual sex and sexuality, but ignore and therefore encourage abuse

Probably best to assume anyone you see in the foreseeable future in Ray-Bans is a huge pervert recording you, and preemptively kick them in the balls.

It occurs to me that we're not far off from where Republicans start quoting "conservatism consists of exactly one proposition" approvingly.
Linsey Graham was just explaining yesterday that the ICC (or the ICJ?) is for others, not for them.

This idea that America's military budget is a function of foreign demand and not domestic pressure will never not be funny to me.

Clinton and Obama both got attacked for cutting the (growth) of the military budget!

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

There is a slim but non-zero chance that maduro trial collapses because while he is definitely guilty of many crimes the ones they are trying to prosecute him for are made up

I fully agree with this, and I expect there will be a massive and rushed inversion of the curve later because it is so much better. This is also the reason why Québec's decision to 'pause' environmental initiatives is a very bad move from an economic standpoint.
It’s now been 6 months since I got an EV and I am still in love with how it drives. But I also thoroughly get a kick of being able to charge fully at home.

Truly a shame that one piece of tech we have that can do a net-good, our corporate and political leaders want to bury it.

« Quand les États-Unis se sont-ils livrés à l'impérialisme ? Jamais. »

Entre autres, 47 Présidents des Etats-Unis viennent d'éclater de rire bruyamment (dont 41 d'outre-tombe).
KERNEN: Europeans are talking about it almost being like Vladimir Putin and Ukraine.

JEFF LANDRY: I disagree. When has the United States engaged in imperialism? Never. Europe has engaged in imperialism. The reason the Danish have Greenland is because of imperialism.

this just so perfectly encapsulates the decades-long messaging failures by the dems
Republicans made welfare fraud in Minnesota the most important story in the country. Schumer turned a war for oil into a question about national security briefings.

Yep, I've got a History degree and the lessons from it are far less predictive of what will happen in contemporary society than Gender Studies and Critical Race Theory, which are like that sports almanac in Back to the Future II.
kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

not to mention when he hears that Guyane boasts significant gold reserves and is an important transit point for cocaine from Suriname destined for European markets

"We need Guyane for the gold! we need to stop the narco-traffickers!"
Was just thinking of how funny it will be when Trump learns that France actually has territory in South America.

Useless fact of the day: le projet de loi de finances 2026 n’a pas été adopté, certes. Mais un des amendements votés par le Sénat prévoyait de remonter la remunération des vacations pour qu’elle soit (enfin) supérieure au SMIC.

There were many reasons for wheel lock pistols to be so chunky: Just to make sure they didn't blow up in your hand, and after shooting they could be handy as clubs.
