This is a good thread and for some reason it unlocked something that's been brewing in the back of my head for a while.
Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math."
At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up.
January 6th.
The January 6th Committee.
Trump’s return to power.
Mostly silence.
But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected?
Yeah. I have some thoughts.

I’d almost give in to the idea of him running for a third term if we could make this happen.
If Trump and Ossoff debated, Trump would literally shit himself and possibly cry.

Cape Verde captured the hearts of the soccer world this tournament. Words can't describe.
I was dubious of the 48-team World Cup. Maybe this Cape Verde team still would havet qualified with 32 (topped their group in qualifying).
This team is the best argument for expanded tournament.

We have a new message for Democrats: attack attack attack.
Trump is corrupt, he’s butchered the economy, and his DOJ operates like mob lawyers. And every voter knows it.
So stop looking backward. Stop with the endless focus groups. This isn't complicated.
He’s weak. Finish him.

the definition of a reflecting pool is that it is a "shallow, still body of water designed to mirror what is adjacent".
so the DC reflecting pool today is mirroring our current President and his administration and the GOP leadership in DC.
If you want to clean that up, vote out every Republican.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round.
Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

@stevemadeley78.bsky.social with the Wolves no longer in the Premier League, are you officially moving on to a different beat? If so, it has been a joy, in an otherwise joyless season, to read your pieces. Best to you and hopefully you'll be reassigned to the Old Gold when we make our return.

Can never get over how tawdry the modern Right's view of Western Civilization is; nothing to build, nothing to aspire to, nothing even really to destroy or wage war against, just sullen resentment of their own children and seething hatred of the cities whose economics subsidies their regimes.
