Reposting this, because it seems particularly relevant today.

So, in his sermon to Cadets, Hegseth quoted Charlie Kirk using a proverb, "This too shall pass," that originated with Persian poets in the 12th-13th century. Is he being deeply ironic, or just historically ignorant? And his usage is stupid, regardless.

I got a surprising amount of enjoyment out of this one.

“We left their military alone” - bragged for months about how we completely destroy their military. "Mistakes have been made in wars where you wipe out everybody and then you have a country that for 40 years can never rebuild" - talked about bombing them back to the Stone Age, and worse.

"I've leveraged my wealth and corporate power to influence very President to help my company be successful at the expense of the American people. Because I know what's best, and I'm an equal-opportunity oligarch."

Trump is not healthy.

Tell me this doesn't remind you of the cockroach guy in "Men in Black."

All this insanity to pump up his narcissistic ego, and Xi didn’t even greet him.

It's a military hospital, a military research facility, and a secure place for people to congregate. For the love of god, can we stop calling it a "ballroom" and start calling it what it actually is: a bunker with a fancy roof.

So, @aptshadow.bsky.social is a damn good (and spookily prolific) author. But for me, his most insightful observation might just be his "metagame" concept from "Bear Head." Here's Elon Musk, providing even more empirical evidence. He doesn't know a damn thing about software!

🚨 ICYMI: President Trump warned Iran that the U.S. is closely monitoring its military activity. “We know EXACTLY what they're doing.” “It'll all be gone in one day.”

Trump called affordability a “line of bullshit.”  Tell that to the millions of families paying $4 a gallon for gas and watching grocery bills climb every week.

Why are normal civilians trying to stop a HOLOCAUST and the fucking governments are complicit. No fucking wonder war world 2 happened you selfish mfs

Just minutes before Trump announced “productive discussions” with Iran to end the war, traders placed millions in oil bets. Is this a remarkable coincidence? Or are Trump’s friends getting filthy-rich from his war through insider trading? @maitlis.bsky.social

After silenced for a bit, Stephen Miller crawled out of tRump's ass to tell lies about those who need food assistance. I've helped seniors fill out SNAP applications; which are at least 16 pages and you MUST submit proof (ID, income, etc)! A 'blame the poor' we don't have money by a simple mother🤬

As we approach the upcoming election, our message to Californians is simple: make a plan, vote early, and know that your rights will be protected every step of the way. CA won’t tolerate efforts to intimidate voters or interfere with the electoral process & if anyone crosses that line, we will act.

And finally, here is the speedpaint~! They were both drawn in the same file, so, the speedpaint flips between them. Very miniscule gore warning for reference photos of deer that have dropped their antlers (not anywhere near as visceral as shedding velvet, but there's a tiny bit of visible blood).

Seriously. This is not in any way, shape, or form normal for anyone, let alone the President. Falling asleep surrounded by people, bright lights, and press AGAIN is completely unacceptable. What further proof of being mentally and physically unfit do Republicans and Jake Tapper need?

美联储前主席鲍威尔在接受肯尼迪图书馆基金会颁发的肯尼迪奖时，警告政治权力可能被滥用。 他说：作为美国人，我们受到一种信念的驱使，那就是自由与民主极大地促进了人类自我价值的实现。 维护和巩固我们自身民主的工作，可能会充满喧嚣，有时令人沮丧，甚至陷入四面楚歌的境地。在繁荣的民主政体中，党派之间的政治分歧是正常的，甚至可以说是必不可少的。 但是，在捍卫定义我们国家的更高原则上，我们应当团结一致。其中首要的原则就是对法治的尊重。 正如约翰·亚当斯所写：“我们的政府是一个法治的政府，而非人治的政府。”
