Thus far it's still somehow a less chaotic leadership rollout than Your Party.

The reason we typically don't give military operations silly or hollywood names is because then when a husband loses a wife and children lose their mother, the casualty notification officer doesn't have to say "your loved one died supporting operation epic fury"

Miranda: I woke up and we're at war! It's like getting dumped via text

Charlotte: it's awful, all those American patriots getting shipped off there

Samantha: plus I've been with a few Iranians... big nose, big you know

Carrie: Big got blown up by a shahed drone

Iran is bombing US bases and allies with Russian drones.

Maybe Trump will finally recognize that Russia and Iran are both sworn US enemies, regardless of how much he wants to pretend Putin is his best friend?

Spreading news that Mojtaba is on track to take over can also be another way to generate factional infighting and chaos within the Iranian regime

6/ A lot of the most dire predictions about both Brexit and Trump's tariffs didn't come to pass because governments ultimately listened.

They did not Hard Brexit with no deal in 2017.

Trump retreated from a 150%/150% tariff war with China.

Canada/Mexico got USMCA carve outs.

1/ Experts issued some pretty dire warnings about Trumpian tariffs and Brexit, and the result was not nearly as bad as it could have been.

Now they're issuing dire warnings about Iran.

A much smarter friend asked me how I was thinking about the difference.

My short answer: control.

another thing this piece indicates is that *most people who knew him casually distrusted him, especially after the first conviction.*. Being his pal after that was a very deliberate choice by bad people, not a whoopsie.

this guy not seeing a threat to his right is, im sorry... delicious

it's pretty much just the Greens + the Lib Dems if you care at all about trans rights in England now. Greens have been stronger and more consistent - and looking more likely to be a real force at the next election.

yet again I have accidentally sat on the lathe of heaven

Turkish forces released a picture of the Russian LNG tanker "Arctic Metagaz" which burnt last night. It shows a gaping hole at its port side. It confirms that an explosion ripped that Russian ship at this section apart, possibly by an USV.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

Tweet by Igor Bobic "Fetterman responds to Graham Platner saying he should lose his seat: “Oh, really? The guy with the Nazi tattoo? Yeah, I'm devastated by that.” "

this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever

Cellcels lack the rich text of imagecompressionmaxxers.

yet the "anti-nepobaby" woke left is silent smh

He looks like his nephews took him on an Honor Flight for dying Counter-Strike players

For those who don’t know, Chiang is a mystical Chinese conservative warrior Marco Rubio calls on when things are difficult. He has Chiang’s sword, which was given to him by Jeb Bush bsky.app/profile/eric...

Truly the Fyre Festival of strategic campaigns.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

In the age of fully monetized attention?

Graham is a murder-loving ghoul, which according to Graham' own logic is reason enough to off him and call it self-defense.

many people realize their gender identity when they realize they lack proficiency in edged weapons.

Like, if the plan is to just run Iran out of Islamic jurists so that there's no one left to select a supreme leader and no one left to be selected...that's going to take a lot of bombs.

And also there won't be any Iranians left by the time you are done.

"Every time the Americans blow up an ayatollah-in-the-waiting, I just go and pick up another one.

I have more geriatric clerics than the US has bombs."
