TIL people are gambling on Professional Wrestling. America’s incredibly scripted, pre-determined answer to theater in the round.
It’s like betting on if Godot arrives, or if Fantine lives to become the girlboss of Montreuil-sur-Mer.

Imagine if we spent 2$ billion on 155mm lol
Even Republicans aren't into the "Department of War" rebranding. Only 42% approve, which is low in such a polarized environment.
Plus Democrats and Independents are solidly opposed.
Americans want a professional, not unhinged military.

Major US cities are experiencing outbreaks of violence caused by armed gang members. These thugs are masked and dangerous. They attack and kidnap people off the streets and at their places of work. The group should be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. They call themselves ICE.

A US citizen filmed federal agents smashing his car window, as authorities begin a surge of immigration enforcement operations in North Carolina.
The Honduran-born Charlotte resident filed a police report after the officers let him go.

I agree that people who want to gamble should be forced to physically marinate in cigarette smoke and a lingering ambience of body odor and shame to do so
If gambling can’t be banned outright, it should be regulated so you can’t do it online. You should have to do it the old way, go to a dirty storefront in the worst part of town with all the other losers and hand over cash to an old guy with a layer of visible crust all over his skin.

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

the correct way to handle truly odious defections from an enemy is just to refrain from spitting on them. you don't have to make friends with them and you absolutely shouldn't trust them. just refrain from spitting on them when they are attacking your enemies

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

My wokest opinion is that the inheritance tax should be 100% of capital assets. If you own say, a construction company, you can sell it and give the money to your kids for a modest tax fee but you can’t pass the business on at all.

My wokest opinion is that there shouldn’t be any private high schools or elementary schools.
Education is a matter of the common public good and everyone at the K-12 level should have an equal opportunity with the same resources to attain a common educational baseline.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

Yeah so one of the things you notice about looking through Wehrmacht unit histories is that they'll be immaculate apart from having missing entries on dates that coincide with massacres in their AOR
An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:
ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.
