The problem with taking good photos of Pete Hegseth is that, no matter what, it’s still a photo of Pete Hegseth.

I’d like to imagine that if something like this ever actually happened, the cop would start saying “fog or mist” instead.
I think I heard recently that one of the mushrooms that is popular as a vegan meat substitute lives off of some sort of living creature like insects or something.
But realistically, it’s all the circle of life. Animal life is part of the circle. Probably all plants have consumed nutrients that came from an animal in some way.

You gotta be willing to spend if you want to build the biggest and best ballroom ever made.


That said, I’ll rather not ask someone to cut their hair because of the job position they uphold unless it is a public facing role.
My point is more that he’s a charlatan. Here’s a paragraph from his Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retsef_Levi
Levi is a critic of COVID-19 lockdowns and mRNA vaccines, and a COVID-19 vaccine skeptic. He has published papers on the mortality rates of COVID-19 vaccines. He wrote on Twitter in 2023 that “the evidence is mounting and indisputable that mRNA vaccines cause serious harm including death, especially among young people". On June 11, 2025, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced that he appointed Levi as one of the members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). However, Levi did not have medical, epidemiological, or immunological training, experience, or background.
If he’s going to be a charlatan, he can at least try to be a good charlatan and groom himself. It would be different if he was actually a subject matter expert.


I assume it’s similar for college, but investing in children’s education has a very high rate of return.
All of this money sunk into the war not only will never come back, but it also causes cascading costs from having shipping lines closed down, for example.
“If a tree is so basic, then why aren’t there trees growing in the middle of the ocean?” seems like the sort of argument that would impress Ray.


That picture is from the CDC’s advisory committee on immunization whatnot from June of last year.
You shouldn’t judge people by their appearance alone, but I think that if I was appointed to a position like that, and I had accepted the appointment despite it being outside of my field of expertise, I’d at least make myself presentable. You know, get a haircut for example. Because I’d want people to think I was taking the assignment seriously even though I was unqualified to even be allowed in the room.


Those numbers seem to just be for the weapons. But it also costs a lot of money just in fuel and salaries to have those ships there at all.


I have an aunt who puts horse dewormer in her own food because she believes politicians (actually propagandists) and influencers (actually also propagandists) more than doctors and scientists.
I heard somewhere that people who think they’re good at multitasking actually work slower than people who think they are bad at multitasking.
The reason is that when you switch between tasks, there is a mental penalty each time for that context switch. People who believe they are good at multitasking switch between tasks more often and so they pay the penalty more often.
Because although most people can multitask, vanishingly few can do it effectively.
Every public figure who uses the term “Gulf of America” should be taken out to the exact center of it and left there in a life boat.


On the other hand, Thiel has given JD Vance so much preferential treatment that it is hard to make sense of it unless you assume they have a sexual relationship.
If Andrew Tate is such a tough guy, why is he so focused on women? A real alpha male would go after strong men, not like those pussy loving straight guys.


“Kier” is not a common name, nor is “Starmer.” So at a certain point, it’s just a bunch of syllables and you have to just do the best you can.
I knew a Japanese person who, upon hearing former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown’s name, couldn’t hear anything except a common phrase in cooking recipes, “golden brown.”


Hey let’s not go lining up random Americans. If you’re insistent on lining Americans up, stick to those nine people you mentioned.
I’ve had incompetent managers and I’ve had malicious managers. And in just about every case, I quit the company soon after.
The only type of incompetent manager I’ve tolerated for any amount of time was the absent sort of incompetent manager. They don’t interfere with your work, but they also aren’t there when you need them.
Yeah, his personality comes through.
