We've gone from Norman Schwarzkopf, prosecuting a war that led to a definable victory in 100 hours. To PeeWee Hermans big book of warfighting.
What the fuck are we even doing?

i am sure this round of hastily planned airstrikes will destroy the Houthis once and for all
CNN: US is preparing a large-scale military operation against Yemen's Houthis in retaliation for their strikes on Saudi Arabia, with the Camp David meeting held to review Yemen strike options, shortly before Trump left for the White House.

The epstine files should have triggered all the 2a chuds that clamor for killing pedophiles. The fact that no one has been killed for these crimes against children has lead me to one inevitable conclusion. Children are unimportant.

I finally finished Shogun
1289 pages. The most dense story I have read certainly the most pages flipped.
Yet not as daunting as Game of Thrones.
I think because the story is more simple and the cast is much smaller.
Still. Its done and onto... well I dunno I'll have to pick another story.

I have seen the end of RANT-MEDIA and now the end of @knowledgefight.bsky.social i am sad now. But makes me happy is my favorite set of episodes the ones that I think are the best. Formulaic objections.

Hearing JorDan get emotional at the end of it all... makes me sad that @knowledgefight.bsky.social has... retired!
Good night and good luck.

Knowledge Fight was and remains one of the all-time great podcasts. It is the rarest kind of thing: a show that entertains while having a real-life impact. Dan and Jordan helped defang and neuter elements of a powerful propaganda network. Excited to see what both do next.
I'm just now reading about the end of @knowledgefight.bsky.social.
We 100% would not have been able to get this deep into this journey of taking over InfoWars without their scrupulously deep research about the worst guy in the world
Thank you, Dan and Jordan. Excited to hear what's next.

Kids can't read, can't sound out words.
Ok so, I am not a kid, I am not thick all the time.
But I have a problem sounding out words.
I sound them out based on how I talk. Turns out, I can't speak properly either.

So listening to the incel episodes of #btb and I know that @iwriteok.bsky.social walks a delicate balance of not absolutely ripping on these losers and being humorous in the face of tragedy. I am struck that people take incel "culture" seriously. I mean I never got laid in high-school. But

The burden of proof is on the people that wiped out a grade school
schools are never valid military targets, on or off base
if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime.
The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

It was a school on a military base. Unfortunate casualties in a valid military target.

Nothing feels the way being totally out of the meme loop feels. I love roberts take on things, they are the most researched takes ive seen his multiple part podcasts on the worst people in history, kissenger, Vince McMahon, Hitler etc are super educational.
The memes though? Right over my head.

Canadian gun control is working fine.
Its galling to me but on brand that people would admonish Canadian law rather than admit that the worst school shooting in 30 years is upon us. Let us mourn for our children lost in the once place they should be absolutely safe from gun violence in.

Canadian tire does not sell "used tires" its an everything store. Also Canadian tire money was currency printed by the Canadian mint.
Its also not a thing any more, its a point system on a plastic card.

I do not believe they ate babies. Its too horrible to contemplate.

Things I miss growing older.
Now that I am moved out of the childhood home, ensconced in a good career (zamboni driving is kind of lucrative, i get by) and matched with the finest woman in the world, i find myself missing simple activities with my dad.
I miss range days, he'd take his rifle and I

To many conservatives are ok with foreign military intervention in canada to oust our government. Pierre blew his unheard of lead in the last election and lost his seat. They had a pro forma by election in Hannah Alberta to get him his seat back because he can't be leader without it.

A neighbor shot off a truly astounding amount of fireworks at midnight. We were expecting a celebration of course but that was a zillion dollars in fireworks. It brought back childhood memories. Good way to start the year!
