Lmao, this gives me so many ideas

@AutismCapital That is honestly a strange fact that he quite likely is doing his best to bring her up as educated so she can potentially take over for him eventually.

You’re going to have to reconcile the fact that Kim Jong Un is actually an incredible father, his daughter loves him, and he’s living his best life.

@SandyofCthulhu I imagine there would be something about social security numbers/cards. You know, those absolute bastions of truth and verifiable identities that cannot be taken?

How do they prove their age? A photo ID?

Another banger HLC! I;m also on board with the policy of shit talking our enemies as we fight. Like Greece painting orthodox christian symbols under their military aircraft levels of aura farming. The PsyOps the US military can achieve if they let the warfighters have at it on their own would be history text level stuff.

What a wild week Wartime Trash talk youtu.be/DTDjkQfvqNE

@AsianDawn4 Cafe British? Fascinating, and to the fact that it does somehow look more british than anything I'd find in London.

🇯🇵 Cafe British in Tokyo looks more British than London 🤦‍♂️

@nicksortor Honestly? About as well as it could have gone. They got to protest, they got arrested for potential hazard to safety on the road, that was the end of it. I don't agree with the message, but frankly, I'll take it over the crazies that want to instigate close combat.

@DaOfficialVigil How is it that 'Per Capita' is such a misunderstood statistic? Of course they could have also just have been trolling because this is some classic Russian bait.

Assuming it actually was hit, there’s like, ya know, over a thousand more just like it currently flying.

@GigaBasedDad Great, now let's get some heavy presence to deter all of that extra curriculars after sundown because nothing else is more exhausting than seeing that pop up.

The Houston rodeo (which I've attended in the past) has really gone downhill in the last few years Good job on the management enforcing a dress code to keep it family friendly THIS IS THE WAY

@captive_dreamer Absolutely unbelievable. Somehow the grift digs even deeper

Lmfao the retard chinese "professor" is Tucker's latest guest

@DocStrangelove2 Based purely off of pictures like that and this one, the African military procurement scene must be one of the wildest in any of the world's lol

I don't know who's getting the Tanzanian military the Double Barrel AR, but respect.

Warthogs getting gas to kill bad guys.

Honestly a take I can largely agree with. In a vaccum, as in avoiding any undue outside influence, the whole approach of hard work, overcoming obstacles, and not letting failure be an option are all pretty solid throughlines for young people to internalize. Excellent point on the merits of the medium without devolving it into just the degeneracy.

Anime in the West seems so right-wing or libertarian coded in ways that it generally doesn't in Asia. I suspect it's because in the US, anime fandom overlaps with contrarian, anti-mainstream spaces such as 4chan, Gamergate-era activism and alt-right meme aesthetics from 2016. In the case of Argentina, it's even more overt. Javier Milei's libertarian + anarcho-capitalist movement became meme-fused with Chainsaw Man. Supporters cosplayed as Pochita at rallies because Milei's "chainsaw plan" to slash government spending mirrored the character's vibe, and young male fans flooded his events with anime energy. Milei even pushed libertarian cartoons like Tuttle Twins onto state TV. In a post-God nihilistic West, where cartoons increasingly feel like vehicles for postmodernism, relativism, or "wokism," anime, by contrast, frequently delivers straightforward mythic storytelling - clear good/evil (or at least personal stakes), transcendence through struggle, and virtues that feel timeless. For many Western kids with high openness and creativity, anime programmed their psyches with the right values and imbued them with enough resilience to reject loser progressivism and decadent socialism. Given Japan's cultural baseline - socially conservative, homogeneous, and values hierarchy, duty, hard work, and harmony (wa) - its cultural exports were always going to be conservative by default. Pokémon, Dragon Ball, Fullmetal Alchemist, Tsubasa Chronicle, and Neon Genesis Evangelion are all soaked with pre-modern, universal values. Most are heavy with themes about self-improvement, heroism, and duty. Shonen is basically "boy becomes man through trials" - friendship forged in battle, overcoming despair, defending what's right. Dragon Ball glorifies striving; Evangelion, despite the existential despair, forces viewers to confront suffering and choose growth anyway. Tsubasa Chronicle channels classical chivalry - man's purpose as protector/servant to women/loved ones, echoing traditional gender roles without apology. There are some degenerate anime cartoons of course, and some do have anti-fascist, environmentalist, or queer-friendly themes. But by and large most retain mythic structures that qualify it as based by Western standards.

@Arin_Yumi That's certainly good to hear. Even with the slight gaff, a lot of good deals hopefully get done to strengthen both nations.

Japanese government officials expressed relief after the Takaichi–Trump summit, calling it a “success,” despite earlier concerns over Trump’s unpredictability.

@nicksortor I have a feeling there is going to be an explosion in those 100 year old Social security numbers appearing all of a sudden

🚨 JUST IN: Lisa Murkowski has just submitted an AMENDMENT to the SAVE America Act, EXEMPTING people born before 1961 from having to prove their citizenship If you can't be bothered to prove you're a citizen, you have no business voting to begin with. Stop nitpicking and pass the freaking bill.

@nypost I somehow have it in my head that this may not be done with the 'best' of intentions in mind. I wonder why I could possibly be getting that feeling?

@ThrillaRilla369 First time I ever watched a movie with Gary Sinise and it sure was a wild one for younger me lol.

@ChristianHeiens I can't begin to tell if it's willful ignorance, legitimate ignorance, or a conspiracy at this point. I don't 'get' him on this.

"We can't nuke the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act, think about what the Democrats will do the next time they're in power!" "Well, what do you think they'll do?" "They're going to nuke the filibuster and pass whatever they want."

@romanhelmetguy @eugyppius1 Honestly not surprising. Feels like its been major component of the interaction between european and american citizens.

@eugyppius1 Only 16% of the EU thinks the USA is an ally that shares their values. 40% of Americans think Europe is an ally that shares their values. You’ve got it backwards.

MAGA accounts on here routinely express more hatred, rejection, and vilification of Europeans than they do of their country’s genuine geopolitical rivals and enemies. It’s amazing but true.

@nonregemesse Sir William Marshall for the medieval possibility!

I want to do a great general from history (possibly antiquity and Middle Ages) tournament: Please suggest candidates for entry!

@DrunkRepub I wish he would somehow be struck with the wisdom, but I also feel like this is going to translate into him just not doing anything for the next 9 months regardless.

Look who is coming around
