It is amazing to me that a Pentagon official would have to release this statement: “There is not any truth to that,” deputy Pentagon press secretary Sabrina Singh said. “There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there’s no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States.”

People have reported similar sightings in NH, and I was dismayed to find out exactly how many conspiracy-minded nutjobs I know.

Ladies and gentlemen: my country has shit the bed again.

Yes, it had started looking like another Sally Clark case, including some shitty use of statistics.

However, David Fucking Davis making the case by grandstanding at a press conference instantly deducts about a billion plausibility points from the new evidence.

Edit: just made the mistake of looking at the news and between Starmer being all Brexity, Wes Fucking Streeting attacking DEI in the NHS, and Reform polling level with Labour, I’m not sure there’s a clean sheet left in the country.

I know it’s not UK, but interesting nonetheless.

Particularly the use of birthright citizenship as a mechanism to end slavery.

We don’t have birthright citizenship in Australia (not sure if we have an equivalent) so I didn’t think much of it.

However, that’s a pretty amazing article on the mechanisms of things.

Huh - has there ever been a military coup in the US?

should that be on the 2026 bingo card?

At this point I think you could put literally anything on the 2026 bingo card and there would be a non-zero chance of it happening.

I think the dumbest part of this incredibly stupid statement is that Trump thinks telling the military they should disobey an illegal order is seditious behavior. So it’s seditious to remind soldiers of the oath they took to not break the law? My head hurts.
