This is also a weird product of summer 2024’s relative peace, prosperity, and boring news cycles. No pandemics, recessions, wars, riots, or crime waves to cover.

did you jog to the onion field to pick it yourself? not sure when it started but somehow my family picked up a habit of occasionally grilling vidalia onions w/ a beef bouillon cube inserted in the center & they are quite tasty for how simple it is. I did grilled peaches once that were great too

I knew where this was going from the get go but wanted to give them a chance at working through the anger stage of grief, alas, another terminal case of "everyone else is an idiot but me obv🥴". quite talented at the GOP's beloved "claim victimhood at every opp" rhetorical strat though TBH

-claim credentials & expertise in an arg to authority then refuse detail your actual expertise -resort to rhetorical games when your constant claims at victimhood fail you really showed me how silly it was that the Biden Admin didn’t pursue any of the solutions you don’t have, very fun interaction

So no details on your claimed expertise, got it. So to recap you: -post opinions as facts, then get mad when someone else does -list sarcasm in your bio & make posts that are condescendingly dismissive of the work of entire cohorts of public servants, then get mad when someone is snarky in return

how many yrs of that was foreign policy / geopolitical conflict centered or are you just trying to claim expertise w/ no basis? pls tell us precisely what your role & expertise was in so we can assess how relevant it is to "Russian imperialist aggression" & "peace in the Middle East"

whole careers working on these problems & then you accuse other people of being condescending. It's a remarkable mix of Dunning-Kruger & main character syndrome of which you seem to have no self awareness. I know I can be smarmy & condescending, but IDK how else to reply to someone so self absorbed

I too wish I had veto power, w/ the power of hindsight, over any decisions that end up having bad vibes down the line. Alas, I, an adult, realize that it not how life works & while opting out is a valid strat when the options are comparable it is simply being naive or immature when they are not

yeah the best thing I did here was start a "Favs" list from the start so I have at least 1 feed I know will reliably spark joy b4 deciding if I'm in the mood to dip my toe into the wider circles including topics like politics that I know will be cess pool adjacent at times

well at least I got a good chuckle out of reading your last 2 replies in succession since I certainly didn’t gain any insight into the challenges of foreign policy realities & what, if any, viable alternatives *might* have worked better. Or worse. None of us actually know!

(mostly posting as an ICYMI for @ndtex.gamin4aven.org as this might come in handy for your ExtraLife stuff & def could be useful as we can try to rekindle the magic of the #NDTwitterati over here for CFB season)

how quickly some forget the many gullible people who didn’t laugh outright at the "Hillary the hawk, Donald the dove" narratives. plenty of wishcasters love to complain about present realities & lie to themselves about change only having upside potential w/o any downside risk. magical thinkers exist

Big hat tip to @jbouie.bsky.social for treating uncertainties as uncertain, with both downside and upside potential, rather than what many pundits are doing: imagine a positive scenario and act as if things will smoothly go that way if only people try it.
Doesn't seem like a high bar. And yet...
