Noem straight up announcing at a public presser she's here in LA to remove political leadership she doesnt agree with is a testament to not only how fascist she is but also how stupid
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."
Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.
1. The FPV drone tech Ukraine used here has been around for a while, though it was used very ingeniously.
2. The Ukrainian attack using these drones relied upon what sounds like over a year of extraordinarily precise logistics, planning, and training. This is not something just anyone could do.

i need a smart person who isn't a pod caster to explain the long term implications of FPV drones that cost a couple hundred dollars being used to torch three hundred million dollar bombers. again please no pod casters are invited to comment

Well worth reading the whole thing!
Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired!

Read Pope Leo XIV's first homily as pope
During his homily, delivered in Italian, Leo XIV said that Christians must serve a world that is often hostile to their beliefs.

Me: Goodman Matthew! I am come of the far hereafter, and verily I do report that the heirs of ye body do worship a graven image bearing the likeness of the king of the papists!

Me: Nay, goodman, I would that I were.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Our local manufacturing capacity is increasing. We’ve produced a similar but sturdier Cybertruck, named the Bergerblock (Left Photo.)
We’ve also produced a facsimile of the humans we expect to purchase our Bergerblocks. Our artisan designer named it “Fragilis Masculinis” which is Latin, we think.

I took this photo less than 10 years after the deer fence behind was erected. Before it went up, the land behind was just grass, exactly like the foreground where he sheep are.
*Nothing* was planted here.
"It's not rocket science" is an understatement.
