Thing one. Staying awake 12–14 hours a day for months at a time (running, writing, rewriting, deadhanging, re-rewriting, running) may be just tons of fun and good for the legs besides (I see it in the eyes of the haggard, batty dude in the mirror), but it does not pay.
Thing two. I have learned that the draughty old 12-storey pillbox in which I and the cat presently sleep, eat, and laugh at each other’s bodily noises is being given, as part of a clever tax manoeuvre, to another tenent. And so, sooner than I’d thought, we now begin to work toward moving to, and eventually living in, another draughty place down the road.
Things three and four are important, but not really your concern.
You may be of the opinion that Pete is a complete and utter fool, but even if you hold no opinion whatsoever on the overindulged man-child, you will almost certainly find this funny.
Hegseth puts himself in the category of an American crusader, drawing inspiration from the Crusades in the medieval period1.
Deus Vult!
Faith — believing in something without a good reason — is also very important to Tulsi, whom Donald has picked to oversee US intelligence agencies.
What could go wrong?
As of this writing, 0800, groups of missiles have entered Ukraine’s airspace from the north and south and are flying all over the place blowing up energy facilities airfields and transporation hubs. At least five MiG 31s launched Dagger (Kinzhal) missiles and about half the residents of Odesa and Ternopil regions have already been blacked out.
Actually, Russia’s chances of winning the war are slim to nil.
Donald isn’t sounding like he wants to punch Vova in the face. Same goes for Pete.
The just-stop-shooting approach — the one that Z used to get elected in 2019 — won’t work, because Vova will continue killing people until someone stops him. Not fighting back, er, would be suicide.
Here is 15 minutes of Madyar’s guys blowing up invaders w/ drones.
Have a great weekend!
How Hegseth’s controversial religious views could affect military leadership (PBS, December 12, 2024)
ps Pete, God wills your dick to wither and die. Just saying,
Have a great weekend!
