  • Trump appointed Milley to his position in 2018. Milley said in an interview published last week in The Atlantic that Trump asked him when he offered him the position as chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff if he was “soft on transgenders.”

    “I’m not soft on transgender or hard on transgender,” he says he replied. “I’m about standards in the U.S. military, about who is qualified to serve in the U.S. military. I don’t care who you sleep with or what you are.”

    Trump announced his ban on transgender people serving openly in the military in 2017, which his administration defended in courts for years until the Biden administration got rid of it in 2021.

    “Trump’s attitude toward the uniformed services seemed superficial, callous, and, at the deepest human level, repugnant,” Milley said in the interview.

    I can see why Republicans hate him.


  • India has aligned itself with China, Russia, Brazil, and South Africa. All countries that have been kicked out of the international adults table

    …because their leadership act like babies.

    Second quote is me completing the original. Why did you cut that last part of the sentence out?

    You are aware you just counted 40% of the world population, and with them comes 20% more? So you dismissed more than half of human population in one sentence?

    Ah that’s why. Yeah no they didn’t. They were talking about the people leading those countries, not the entire population.

    Let’s not even talk about racist part, which I hope is not intentional, when you take a look of who left on your “interational adult table”.

    It’s racist to call someone of another race “boy”.

    It’s not racist to say that a country’s leadership is acting childish. Heck it would actually be racist if someone were to say “all Indians are childish.” But that’s not what happened.

    People call other people childish all the time without a hint of racist intent.







  • The mobile experience leaves a lot to be desired after being pampered by RIF for so long. I’m hopping around on mobile apps and so far Connect is the one I’m finding most tolerable but that’s all it is - tolerable. Haven’t found an app I’m in love with yet. They all seem to have at least one major missing feature. Sometimes that feature is an intuitive UI. Or the ability to block users or subs, which is just critical for me with how pervasive hate and misinformation has become on the internet.
