So I did a thing. Sorry about the signal. Call it "live from the Borg Bunker". I live in the Canadian bush and will upgrade my modem for the future

2/ Iran MIGHT be able to make - in distributed AD safe sites up to 500/day. They cost a fraction of the intercept systems and can be replaced faster.

1/ Keep eyes/ears open for Shahed strikes. Drones will be a critical part of this debacle, and USA allies, while having success are going have defences degraded before Iran runs out.

True North Eager Beaver Media The Eager Beaver welcomes you to join him and his friends in the Beaver Lodge for engaging and grown up conversations about the Canadian political and cultural scene.

If any of my peeps here are interested, this afternoon around 1500hrs EST, I'll be doing a You Tube discussion on our shared geopolitical situation with @trueeager.bsky.social.

While Hormuz IS open, shipping is slowing their transits. I don't think Iran will close it any time soon, because that would anger neutrals. Expect oil to spike $10-20/bbl anyways. This is going to be a long time.

2/ Please make a plan for us: all we ask. Build a plan for old farts perfectly capable of doing/managing the bullshit work as well as contributing to the important work of training.
Cadet CIC - High School Teacher - Hockey coaches-cops: Just make the process clear.

1/ Dad's Army is a brilliant series. Comedy tinged with Black Adder's final scene. They all served. Those ribbons are real.
Canada: your old fart vets want to take work off of hands of the kids doing the hard thing.

Hope I'm wrong, but I agree with Kyle that it looks like Iran is about to get hit. This will only turn into a total incandescent shit-show if USA goes in on attack.
Like: this will be to the future as Poland/Manchuria was to WW2.
This is the worst case. Good luck.

If/when USA attacks Iran, I want to be on the record that this is a freaking insanely evil thing to do that helps no one and further destabilizes the entire planet. We're living in the age of fucking monsters.

I disagree. We're (the world & Canada) are past mockery. We saw this WELL before Trump was 47. That's the democratic kiss of death. We honestly do not care (beyond basic human compassion) the mistakes you are making. We are horrified and worried you will destroy the planet. USA is now Gus to Walter:

Ahem: words MAGA might understand in a language they speak.
We are stronger than ever, and you are dying.
You will attack us but you will lose - even more than you are now.

Embrace your reckless inner -no concern about consequences - teenage self. It is liberating. And fun with a fully grown (likely now declining mind) you see the pitfalls but now have the inner confidence to not give a fuck!

Just riff of USA defence operation names. We have Op Midnight Hammer, Op Throbbing Sausage, and Op Grinding Hard-on now!
Am actually curious what the title for the Iran debacle will be: Op Drunken Mistake? Op pulsing tower?
You could NOT write this shit as a novel and get it published in the 90s!

Das ist wirklich nicht gut.
Like this is SO insane that even the MAGA morons running the lobotomized op are screaming at Der Fuhrer that this is a terrible idea.
When THE SAILORS are sabotaging their own CVN to prevent this, you KNOW the USA is facing a Battleship Potemkin moment.

Am working on Ontario ed, but as it influences our pedagogy, I have about 50 pages of cited documentation about how US public education has been deliberately dumbed down and why. Hoping to have it to an publisher by the summer.
Working title: "You Can't Push A Rope."

there is nothing more dangerous to conservative ideology as education and critical thinking.

it's not by accident that pub.ed is dog-shit in every single red state (and let's be honest, most blue states too.)

these imbeciles teach evolution as science ffs.....

Teaching As a Subversive Activity by Neil Postman | Penguin Random House Canada A no-holds-barred assault on outdated teaching methods—with dramatic and practical proposals on how education can be made relevant to today's world.Praise for Teaching As a Subversive Activity

There are reasons why fascists put teachers against the wall among the first. When we do our vocation effectively, we are an absolute lethal and dangerous threat to authoritarians.
Good. Have made my peace and will go down hard if that time ever comes.

3/Education done correctly, is about teaching facts, building critical thinking skills, and providing citizens with the tool kit they need to understand the world. US pub ed is generally about American Exceptionalism. They aren't stupid in general, just profoundly ignorant of reality. It's a bubble.

2/ Also: until you've done a deep inside dive into US public education (I have to as I'm writing a book about education in Ontario and US policies always influence us), it is freaking terrifying how Scientology level cult based US pub ed is. They simply cannot understand what's happening.

1/Most - even in Canada - are still living in the past that they are comfortable with. New realities like this are a direct and deliberately shocking assault on their emotions. MAGA wants people stunned and scared. Manipulation.

Honoring the memory of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti by turning grief into care.

It was a canned nothingburger that didn't address the actual problems USA is facing. USA requires radical opposition to MAGA fascism. She wasn't offensive, but she did NOT meet the moment. Corp Dems are just as bad as GOP. Citizens United sealed the deal.

Respectful question for my USA friends.
What do you think of "American Exceptionalism"?
Not in any way a disrespect - just trying to understand.
