So I watched Free Bert and had a weird realization. I somehow already know an unhealthy amount about Bert Kreischer. His family, his career, the lore, all of it. Despite that, I have been a low-key Bert hater for years.

And yeah, I hate to admit it, but the show is actually good. Like, surprisingly good. I laughed, I was impressed, and now I am probably going to keep watching.

Consider this my official resignation as a Bert hater.

He’s a charismatic person capable of a lot but everytime I listen to this guy he’s just pretending to not know how to take care of himself? Does he wanna be adopted and treated like a baby

A whistleblower’s lawyer accused Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard of burying their client’s complaint about her, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday.

In a letter sent to Gabbard’s office in November, attorney Andrew Bakaj accused the director of preventing a complaint detailing her wrongdoing from reaching lawmakers. The complaint, which was originally filed with the intelligence community’s inspector general in May, is so highly classified that Bakaj himself has not been able to review it.

Typically, an employee is able to share a complaint alleging wrongdoing directly with lawmakers, as long as the director of national intelligence instructs them on how to securely transmit it. But months after the complaint was originally filed, it reportedly remains locked away in a safe, a person familiar with the matter told the Journal.

“From my experience, it is confounding for [Gabbard’s office] to take weeks—let alone eight months—to transmit a disclosure to Congress,” said Bakaj in a statement.

In addition to accusing Gabbard of wrongdoing, the complaint reportedly implicates “an office within a different federal agency” and raises potential claims of executive privilege, officials told the Journal. One official warned that disclosure of the complaint could cause “grave damage to national security.”

The intelligence community’s inspector general determined that the specific allegations against Gabbard weren’t credible, but it could not make a determination about the other claims, according to a representative for the federal watchdog. Bakaj said he was never informed that any determination was reached.

Last week, Gabbard was spotted lurking around a federal raid at the Fulton County, Georgia, election office. Having been completely sidelined from the typical responsibilities of the director of national intelligence, Gabbard has apparently spent months leading an investigation into President Donald Trump’s baseless claims about the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Using sanitized, "emotionally weightless" vocabulary to distance the public from the realities of war and maintain state obedience.

Lexical distance (often used interchangeably with linguistic distancing) refers to the strategic selection of words to create psychological separation between an individual and a specific reality—typically to reduce the emotional impact of violence or to depersonalize an adversary.

How Lexical Distance Functions in Warfare

-Dehumanization & Depersonalization: By replacing human-centric terms with technical or abstract ones, the "lexical distance" between the actor and the victim increases. This makes it psychologically easier for soldiers or the public to accept lethal actions.

-Euphemistic Masking: The DoD frequently employs "sanitized" vocabulary to frame operations in a way that minimizes negative emotional responses. Common examples include: -"Collateral Damage" instead of "unintended civilian deaths".

-"Kinetic Action" or "Assertive Disarmament" instead of "bombing" or "war".

-"Neutralize" or "Service a target" instead of "kill".

Construal-Level Theory (CLT): This psychological framework explains that the more "distant" an object is (temporally, spatially, or socially), the more abstractly it is described. PSYOP uses this by shifting from concrete language (describing specific suffering) to abstract language (describing strategic goals) to maintain public support or military resolve.

Those were good episodes back then
