The thread where Anastasis discovers that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014.

America's Foreign Policy & Other Shit Going On Around the World thread

Correct. The Kremlin BSW project barely missed the cutoff so CDU and SPD can make a red-black coalition. Much easier than trying to cobble together one with the Greens, too. -
So, running the numbers. 3 million feds. Average salary of 106k per year (54.36 per hour). 90 cents per minute. One minute to read the email, five minutes to draft a response on average (Elon’s best guess on X). DOGE costs the government about 14.5 million in duplicative performance management processes not including the time spent by various employees figuring out WTF is even required.

Elon accidentally acknowledges that the stock market and everyone’s 401k or equivalent did very well under Biden. -

Merz has for all his career been a dyed-in-the-wool Transatlanticist and this speech is pure Gaullist. These are incredible things to hear from a CDU figure. I don’t think people understand that we are actively destroying a world where the single largest and wealthiest common market is friendly and aligned with us. In one month. -

Everything in the American government is non-stop performative imbecility. Just a pressurized stream of soggy content precision-guided to target absolute dolts and pudding-heads. Trump was elected by a coalition of people who buy drop-shipped “I am very badass” t-shirts off of Facebook. It’s their country now and we all have to live in it.

Anastasis’ presentation of “history” and context is at the level of a movie set, it exists only to drive narrative and isn’t real. Doors open to nowhere, layouts that can’t exist in the physical space, rooms unconnected by hallways. The illusion of structure and coherence.
-
Office of the Secretary of Defense also said not to respond. All of DoD sending what they do and who they report to via the unclassified system, what could go wrong!
-
They aren’t looking for fraud, they’re looking for stuff they can run through AI and then call “fraud” on Twitter. The “copy supervisor” is interesting because with that DOGE can map out reporting structures, staffing patterns, and sub-units again, via AI. All that exists at the agency level but doesn’t exist in a consolidated space on an unsecured server at OPM because it is a counter-intelligence nightmare. This whole exercise is a counter-intelligence nightmare. Even Kash Patel intervened to tell the FBI “don’t think about it.”

German elections are notoriously complex— a first round of direct first past the post geographic districts and then a proportional second round. The numbers to watch are 3 (direct seats) and 5 (percent)— the threshold to actual be seated in parliament. Parties that don’t get the threshold means that seats in parliament are reassigned proportionally to parties that make it in, so CDU for instance will get more seats than the percentage vote they get. Too early to see how things shake out and it’s important to say that The Left and BSW are also very pro-Kremlin, populist, anti-Europe. They are constitutionally more like AfD than SPD. A grand deal between CDU, SPD, and Greens could happen and maybe FDP gets across the line. But these grand coalitions are inherently fragile as it’s a marriage of political enemies with deep policy differences. No one is happy and all parties jockey for more power. The dysfunction feeds discontent and populism. It is a dangerous time for basic liberal values. And the warning signs had been blinking in Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia for easily a decade but the collective West chose to drive with the check engine light on. -
The more I ponder on it, the more I think Elon should fire a bunch of spooks, hackers, cops, detectives, finance investigators, administrators and former soldiers who know each other. Probably all at the same time and be really condescending about it so they’re all stewing together in collective anger.

The email did not specify that accomplishments had to be work-related so it is fully above board to reply with something like: - physically interacted with each of my children in person - responded to their mother’s inquiries in-person and via private channels, avoiding inefficiencies created by requiring her to tweet of file lawsuits - received at least one expression of genuine affection and appreciation from a human who does not need anything from me or owe me anything - played an online video game in person, saving money for paying a proxy

Plenty of employees across the workforce can only send: - Classified - Classified - Classified - Classified - Classified In reality Elon wants to feed stuff into AI and then blast alleged examples of “waste, fraud, abuse” across X. Secondarily they are upset that the earlier fork program didn’t work and just want people gone so they’ll make things shitty and suck in the hopes they’ll quit. I also view it as a likely tacit admission that they are struggling with the work and reality of actually doing lots of RIFs. Lots of reporting of cabinet members beginning to push back. So trying to get their numbers up by other means. You don’t do shit like this if you really have a plan and target in place to do mass RIFs.

Cross posting from the DT Elon thread. Screenshots of the email itself are circulating and the “failure to respond” ultimatum is not in there. Unsurprisingly since it’s established law that federal employee resignations have to be voluntary. I’d not open the email and just wait for any actual agency guidance. OPM has no authority to fire or accept resignations except for OPM employees.

The reality is that Elon will feed this into AI and begin blasting what he thinks is evidence of fraud, waste, abuse across Twitter. -

Anastasis is a coward, that is ultimately the core of all simpering and wheedling both-sidesing. It is the fear of confronting the world in its complexity, light, and shadows and making any decision or taking any action that might have consequences to accept. So he hides and opts out, allegedly out of moral indignity that a perfect course of action isn’t available to him. It is the cowardice of the teenager who says he doesn’t want to try out for the football team because he doesn’t want to play with losers. It’s the sniveling undergrad who has a critique for every point raised in his 4 level philosophy class but never finds one he’s willing to pick up and defend. The only issue I’ve seen where he will take an unambiguous stance is Palestine. Even there the cowardice wins eventually because he refuses to stand up for the imperfect Americans who DON’T openly call for Gaza’s ethnic cleansing. The neutrality and ironic distance is a mask but the cowardice always wins. When forced, the cowards always—- always— tepidly, with reserves, line up behind the bullies. They know that the bullies might harm them while the fair will forgive cowardice. Thus, Trump is of course the lesser imperfection. Thus, begrudgingly, let’s admit that Putin was always going to win and had his reasons to fight. And they know they are cowards and cowardice is a vice and they hate themselves for it. So their critiques and detachment are laced with self-loathing and anger. Delivering a critique can’t even be done directly. They express self-loathing by lashing out at anyone who is brave enough to make a choice. Ukraine being the best current acid test. An imperfect nation, with an outcome uncertain even if they prevail, standing against a bully and a tyrant who will likely win. But Ukrainians made the choice to make a choice, to face the fury, to not find a reason to cringe. And more than anything, cowards hate being confronted with the reality that not everyone is a coward.

Russia offers the peace of the graveyard and the order and structure of a prison. Ukrainians have decided they do not seek such peace and order. The cowardly and the craven seek to give away freedom that isn’t theirs to appease monsters they do not have to fight.

All of us should join you, I’m willing to go from a modest thick 9-incher to something even really small like seven and a half. -
Anchovies play the role of soy or fish sauce, an additional savory kick. Brisket and Massholes are good. For chicken and sausage, I like to buy a grocery rotisserie bird and use the carcass to make stock and the meat for the gumbo. Gumbo is one of those things you fiddle with and see what you like and what you want that day. Okra in or out? How much spice in the gumbo and how much to add with hot sauce? Smoked chicken or pan-seared. Can of beer or just stock? The roux, trinity, and good stock are the base you launch from.
