BUT IT'S PAID FOR WITH DONATIONS! /s

Maybe he could ask for donations from billionaires to feed hungry children instead. But how would he benefit from that?

Academia is on the highway to hell.

Thanks for this! Very measured responses by you and your guest! It's nice to see thoughtful discussion when we have to deal with real estate developers trying to design aircraft carrier launch, arrestment and weapons elevator systems!

That is the best workout inspiration I've seen!

I think the problem is trying to come up with a non-full-scale scenario that introduces an opportunity to show the potential indecisiveness in the C3I system. Most sensible scenarios are fairly clear in their intent. "A Scenario" tried to come up with a cute scenario that was confusing to US leaders

This is what you get when someone who is deeply informed about the subject creates the scenario.

That one suffers from many of the scenario issues that this sounds like it does. reddit r/nuclearweapons has ripped those to shreds. I like the book for its behind-the-scenes discussion and comments from experts, but its war scenario is also forced.

The X post of this gave me an opportunity to double my block list. It was swamped with trolls and bots.

F@&) me!

So you’re telling me Kevin Costner lied?

I visited the 100" telescope at Mt. Wilson it a couple years back, where I believe this photo was taken. It was very moving to see the telescope that, maybe more than any other since Galileo's first crude one, told us of our place in the universe.

For someone to stand out there was a major accomplishment. I say that as a former masshole candidate

Very fair review on your part, Ward.

To be clear, I mean that this is Trump’s misunderstanding.

“…the president has grown very confident that this war is bad for Russia.” On this, Trump is correct, but demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding as to why Putin continues this war. It’s not about what’s good for Russia, it’s about what’s good for Putin.

Wow, it's almost as if leaving this to the whims of a single individual is not a great way to ensure program continuity.

We must go feed Vaal.

And Massachusetts and Maine have been reunified for the first time since 1820.

We’re all getting acquainted with Horst Wessel.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police.

Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

Evolution (abridged)

My parents took me out of a country where this was the norm and where it led to the execution and imprisonment of millions of innocent people. They brought me here, to America, believing that it would not happen here. And yet here we are.

The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops.

Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.

As we all know, the American Revolution was fought to ensure the chief executive could impose taxes without representation.

I just realized it's been over a month since I last posted this graphic. This gives a variety of running averages for the global temperature anomaly compared to the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline over timespans from a single day to the last two years.

tl;dr ~ we're still f&%ked.
