Its the US forces. When not killing each in friendly fire they are not exactly renowned for following the conventions of war. And its not as if they have turned around and told Kegsbreath to get fucked when blowing random fishing boats out of the water. I'd expect them to just salute and say "Fire".

Another day, another ad for a new VC backed telehealth company cosplaying as one stop shop comprehensive provider selling wt loss injections/pills, hormones, supplements. They can't possibly provide evidence-based comprehensive care and make the return on investment VCs expect. Where is @FDA @FTC ?

as a white liberal with Southern roots, quite frankly, I think other white liberals from the South need to get the fuck over their oddly defensive attitude about what should be pretty blindingly obvious.
I understand why some white liberals from the Deep South want to insist that there isn't something distinct (and bad) about Southern political culture but the problem with this is that we wouldn't even have this idea of "The South" as distinct from the rest of the US if there wasn't a there there
