So, amid the prep for Pete Hegseth’s summoning of all American flag officers so he can give a <1hr talk about “the warrior ethos,” some people have noticed that two four-star generals, Gens. Ronald Clark and Xavier Brunson, appeared to have been demoted to three-star lieutenant generals.
Hmm. Wonder why that might be.

I'm all for shaming people for blocking others that they simply don't agree with. If someone is spouting harmful vitriol and you don't want to platform them, or of course if they're specifically targeting you, then sure. But it's really time we separated that from "muh safe space" rubbish.
There's a reason safe spaces have been purged with great prejudice from psychosocial best practices, and their normalization among liberals has done a lot of damage to the worldliness that should (and used to) come with being online.
@Infinite Jester My citation is me, as a mental health professional who gets regular training to update me on best practices.
And I did say that I understand blocking people for not wanting to platform them, or because they're targeting you. White power tends to fit nicely in there.
L'image présente un fond rouge vif avec du texte en blanc au centre. Le texte est écrit en français et se lit comme suit : "Je me fous de ce que vous pensez de moi. Sauf si vous pensez que je suis génial. Dans ce cas-là, vous avez raison..." En bas à droite, on peut voir le logo "fussoin" en lettres blanches stylisées. Le message est humoristique et affirmatif, exprimant une attitude de confiance en soi.

Cette caricature humoristique, intitulée "Retour en ondes de Jimmy Kimmel," présente deux personnages politiques caricaturés. Le personnage en haut, avec un costume bleu et une cravate verte, flotte en l'air, souriant et levant la main, tandis que le personnage en bas, avec des cheveux blonds et un costume bleu, semble être en train de tomber, avec une expression de surprise et de frustration. Un personnage en costume gris et un autre en costume bleu observent la scène avec un air inquiet. Le texte "Jusqu'ici, tout va bien..." est inscrit dans une bulle, ajoutant une touche de sarcasme. L'ensemble de l'image est une critique humoristique de la situation politique, mettant en scène des personnages emblématiques dans une situation comique.

"You're not coming in, not with the mister and the missus gone."
"Now, now, come on, ducky, we've got no time to palaver. We've got a job to do, so ex-CUSE me!"
I actually had to look this up in the script, cuz I'd never heard the word "palaver". It means "to talk at length unproductively", and comes from the Portuguese "palavro", meaning word.
A related English word is parable.
The image is a vintage movie poster for the film "Laura." The poster features a woman with shoulder-length hair, wearing a blue dress, and a man in a trench coat and hat, suggesting a detective theme. The title "Laura" is prominently displayed in large red letters at the center. The names "Gene Tierney" and "Dana Andrews" are featured at the top, indicating the lead actors. Additional names, including "Clifton Vincent," "Judith Webb," "Price Anderson," and "Otto Preminger," are listed at the bottom, along with the production details. The background is a gradient of green and blue, with a red vertical stripe on the left side. The overall design is typical of mid-20th-century movie posters, with bold colors and stylized illustrations.
