Well, we sure as shit can't keep sending 4 $4M Patriot missiles at every $250K Shahed drone -- that don't even stop the drone.

He called it "war" from the outset, despite his idiot cabinet members' attempts to say it's not a war. But since it isn't the subject of a declaration of war, I think Special Military Operation (Spetzop for short) is very descriptive. I'm sure it will be all over in a matter of days just like Kyiv.

So far we’ve heard 12 different primary reasons for the war, 7 different main objectives, and 5 different exit strategies.

transcript of a NYT podcast ad: This is A.G. Sulzberger. I’m the publisher of The New York Times. I oversee our news operations and our business. But I’m also a former reporter who has watched with a lot of alarm as our profession has shrunk and shrunk in recent years. Normally, in these ads, we talk about the importance of subscribing to the Times. I’m here today with a different message. I’m encouraging you to support any news organization that’s dedicated to original reporting. If that’s your local newspaper, terrific β€” local newspapers in particular need your support. If that’s another national newspaper, that’s great too.

I’m quite sure the Iranian masses will welcome being subjects of the heir of their late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi as a (wink, wink) transition figure to (wink, wink) democracy.

That might be an improvement over what we have today, but it could be so much better!

I’m sure that was not entirely unintentional, whoever in the White House managed to get this through.

Trump teamed up with Israel. Neo-Nazis don't like that, being *real* antisemites.

It would be a tragedy if something like that were to happen to the US order of succession.

Google caved on it once the Board of Geographic Names (or something like that) validated it.

Maybe Israel will explain that the regime had tunnels and arms caches under the school, like Hamas in Gaza.

War is peace.
Black is white.
Eastasia has always been at war with Oceania.

CBS, Fox, the Washington Post, and Twitter are all owned by Trump-loving billionaires and soon CNN will be too. Here's why American media has a liberal bias problem.

You could also go all the way back to the Garden of Eden, the Birth of Christ, or the Norman Conquest. There were no cabinets before 1789, so if one was the best since 1776, it was the best in human history. But of course this was not the best even since 2021.

This is consistent with their hatred of free speech, freedom of religion, racial equality, due process, probable cause for arrests, and the rest of the US constitution.

I assume he issued this order only after his family massively shorted Anthropic stock.

If an average person of my age cohort would incur $10,000 of medical expenses in a year, my health insurance, including both premiums and deductibles, i.e., total out of pocket expenses, should be priced at somewhere around $10,000, before surcharges and subsidies. This proposal is ridiculous.

I’ll be honest: I didn’t have Trump FCC chair and loyalist Brendan Carr praising me and Zeteo by name, while disagreeing with me, on my bingo card, at yesterday’s Semafor media event πŸ‘€
