I was in my 30s before I realized that the instructions were supposed to be on the *bottom* of the heel. Never made sense to me until then.

I love imagining him working some minimum-wage warehouse gig when he was 18, training every weekend, coked out of his mind, telling his coworkers he was gonna be big some day.

This is exactly where fascism always operates: The law is made so contradictory and confusing that no one could possibly follow it, so the fascists can prosecute anyone they want to for *something* while not prosecuting anyone they don't want to for obvious violations.

I saw it in Paris that summer, and while I do not speak decent French myself, the friend I was with said that, on the way out of the theater, about 1/4-1/3 of the audience was debating whether it was real.

It is the duty of military officers and NCOs AND EVEN GODDAMN PRIVATES AND SEAMEN AND AIRMEN E-FUCKING-ONE TYPES to refuse to follow illegal orders. When will judges take their responsibility to the rule of law as seriously?

Happy "Robert E Lee Yeets 3 Treason Divisions Into a Deathblossom" Day to all who celebrate Lee's July 3d might be one of his worst days of fighting. Starts off the day with the XII Corps kicking his teeth in on the right flank, booting his bubbas out of US trenches they'd taken the night prior

I love how an Ohio driver will tailgate one car in the middle lane of an otherwise empty five-lane freeway because they’ve decided they own that fuckin’ lane and anyone going slower than them needs to get out of it.

I have real trouble shutting my mouth whenever the topic of my neighborhood “swim club” comes up. I mean, our whole suburb exists because of white flight, but the fact that there are two of these private clubs every square mile and like three public pools in the whole rest of the city…

Biden has been visibly struggling to complete sentences since at least 1988, and I'm only certain of that because I've never lived in Delaware.

Anita, if your target here is me admitting that I may be wrong about whether the U.S. military will join in a coup in five months, then congratulations, you win. I admit that it might happen. Now go forth and do literally anything else to prevent it. I'm knocking doors this weekend. See you there.

That's why western militaries are now trained extensively that "I was just following orders" is not a legal defense. No one's saying it's impossible for the U.S. military to join a coup in five months. And we've all heard of Nazi Germany, I promise.

Now, that doesn't mean it can't possibly happen. But it isn't going to be as easy nor simple as those who seem to believe that the Army is all MAGA and itching to bust some hippie skulls. If you list the possible coups by likelihood, "military" is not at the top of the list.

Also, you don't get to be a senior officer or NCO without learning to say "Sir, what I *think* you meant was..." when the boss is moving a little too quickly to remember the specifics of when to schedule artillery practice.

I'm saying there are so many levels of giving orders -- not to mention the time and effort and people involved in issuing those orders -- that it's going to take a lot more than Donald Trump saying "Overturn the election" for the entire collective U.S. military to say "Yep, let's roll the tanks."

There is a nonzero number of kids in every single basic training cycle who have simply NEVER SPOKEN to a Black, Latino/a, white, non-Christian, etc. person. It's insane. Like, every rotation you get someone saying "Huh, I thought Those People were all [insert horrible, often hilarious, stereotype]."
