A year in, I think the foreign civilians have it. My Lai Day. 😬😭
Reminded of this point: Trump took out Souleimani in January 2020.
With "collateral damage", the West has sanitized too greatly in its own mind the virtue of their warfare and their innocence as to civilian death and terror effects.
Congratulations to all of my US Army followers on being allowed to kill more civilians! What should we commemorate this day as? My Lai Day?
"We're the good guys, and we're really quite professional. But if you don't let us kill MOAR civilians with impunity, then we can't win."

Well, that's awkward timing, guys.
Our article reveals an additional reason to actually establish local views about U.S. military intervention: local consent is critically implicated in the democratic legitimacy of the use of force "at home".
There's going to be a reckoning with speed in military affairs. It is not an unalloyed good thing.
And it's just great that AI systems are enabling dumb decisions at much greater volume and accuracy.

Deleted and reposted because my military history brain went feral between hoard and horde.
This is my preferred pickled item brand. If you find these particular bad boys, hoard them. These are a larder must have. And please forgive me, my Kosher friends in Brooklyn, but they are perfect in a home version of Dominick's pork chop.
build the world’s largest internal combustion engine in Saudi Arabia, burn all the oil there, and use a globe-spanning network of camshafts and gears to deliver kinetic energy wherever it is needed

We can all agree that I'd look fantastic on a £5 note
Sorry 😔

Footage shared by a merchant shipping Facebook page (เรือสินค้าระหว่างประเทศ – พาณิชย์นาวี) shows the moment the Thai cargo ship Mayuree Naree came under attack in the Strait of Hormuz, with crew members scrambling for safety before they were later rescued by authorities in Oman.
"Swinging from a tree" scared me at first, it means something else here. 😭
The firefighting tugs and fireboats have a dangerous job. During the tanker wars of the 80ies several tugs and tug crews perished due to exploding cargo and sometimes unexploded ordnance, suddenly detonating

Nah. He started a war without caring about the consequences, he can easily walk away from it with the same disregard. What will stop him is his own sense that it looks weak.
Worth a listen.
One point: Implication II neglects that failure can shift the trajectory.
The Ferguson bit took me out. 🤣
“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.
No matter what happens in the Paris election in 4 days, the world’s cities owe @annehidalgo.bsky.social a huge debt of gratitude.
The boldest, most inspiring mayor I’ve seen.
The sum total of my supervision over ten years was to be neither too discursive nor too sensitive. That's it. I heaved two hundred years of interdisciplinary research over the line on my own without understanding where I was going until the end. There's no AI for that.
The point of writing a literature review (usually the first chapter of a PhD) is to learn the field in tremendous depth and give context to the research question(s) you address in later chapters. Getting somebody else to do it won't help you with that.
By the by, did you read the Renfer thread? 😱💀😱💀
