Hegseth declares blow jobs not gay if both men are fit, clean-shaven
::: spoiler Article
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clarified Pentagon policy on homosexuality this week, declaring that oral sex between two men is not gay provided both participants are physically fit and clean-shaven.
“It’s plain and simple,” Hegseth said. “I don’t want fatties or beardos in my military, and I don’t want them involved in any other activities affecting unit cohesion.”
“But,” Hegseth continued while refreshing his Threads feed, “if two warriors are fit, clean-shaven, and meeting the male standard, then by definition it’s not gay.”
Hegseth said the policy was based on extensive historical research.
“Look at the Spartans,” he said. “Those dudes were constantly doing stuff with each other, and they had incredibly high testosterone. In fact, I’m pretty sure semen is basically concentrated testosterone. It literally has ‘men’ in the name.”
Pentagon officials later clarified that this is not how either semen or etymology works.
Former Sen. Lindsey Graham, who died last month, was contacted for comment via Ouija board.
“AHHHHH! IT BURNS!” Graham said before the planchette slowly spelled out, “A STRONG MILITARY IS A MASCULINE MILITARY.”
Hegseth nodded approvingly before burning the board.
“Exactly,” he said. “The goal is lethality. And how are we supposed to annex Canada if our troops can’t engage in a little close-quarters bilateral cooperation?”
Former Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti questioned the strategic logic.
“Look, I watched Heated Rivalry. I understand the appeal,” Franchetti said. “The guys are cute. But you cannot construct U.S. force posture around how much the secretary enjoys a gay hockey show. We used to be a serious country.”
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Dan Caine appeared exhausted when asked whether he supported the new interpretation.
“Jesus, this again?” Caine said.

Hurricane Update Lowell update
The European model has ticked it a little closer to Kauai the past few runs. I think speed is Key over the next 24-36 hours. A slower storm than predicted over that period would probably be our biggest risk. If it continues to move at predicted speed or even faster then I think we’ll be just fine. With all that said, I am feeling more stressed out, so I have changed my official vibe forecast.

The Fediverse And How The Left Can Fight AI Better
I'm posting this here because Taylor didn't reply to my comment on youtube about this. While I appreciate her work at least covering the fediverse, I think its worth noting she isn't actually engaging with the fediverse with this post.
Posting this here in some hope it can gain traction and get her attention. maybe repost to Mastadon if thats something you do?
I'd like to invite Taylor to come to either Mastadon or Lemmy and do an AMA to discuss her video and the topics it contains further.
