World News@lemmy.world•As Trump Marches US Toward Iran War, Critics Ask: Where's the 'Pushback' From Dems and Media? | Common DreamsEnglish
30·20 hours agoWar means more defense contracts, more defense contracts means more defense contracts in their districts. Which means more jobs, and that looks good at re-election time.
If the world were a game of Civ 6, the US would be full bore in to the domination victory condition. We never left the wartime economy and we don’t know how to.
We fucked.

politics @lemmy.world•Republican Joins With Dems on Constitutional Amendment to Give Congress Power to Reject Trump Pardons
3·2 days agoFamous and notable coward Don Bacon grows a single atom of spine, to be surrendered upon his almost immediate retirement.
Fuck him, this is the most he’s spoken out as a representative of one of a handful of districts where he’d benefit from a little bipartisanship. And he waits until the end of his career to do the most milquetoast act of defiance he wanders across.
I’ve met him. He’s a nice guy, when he was in the air force at least he tipped pretty well. But he’s a coward. And that will be his legacy.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees.
1·7 days ago15 f is pretty chilly. 35 f is cold if it was warm yesterday, but warm if it was cold yesterday, 45 is the same. 5 f is really cold if it’s humid or windy, but tolerable otherwise.
-15f is where your teeth start to hurt if you open your mouth outside.
