Are these soldiers on the assault ship carrying assault rifles that look just like the ones all the 2A pedants tell you not to call "assault rifles"?

And we shouldn't downplay the possibility that they just say fuck it and make a bunch of dirty bombs for terror attacks, then use it for threats as long as they want since we don't know exactly how much material exists.

imho, compared to decades past, televised sports has become basically video games that people bet on. Cynical but there it is.

The strategy has always been to distract, destroy, deny, and disturb. One tactic within this strategy is plausible deniability. Ergo, 'boys' cannot be held accountable for their actions because they 'will be boys.'

I don't think he's talking about computing infrastructure. He means a literal knowledge infrastructure - if you want to know something, you have to ask one of his agents.
It's delusional but they will try.

Two things here.

One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.

Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

This isn't AI fear-mongering. It really is Sam Altman telling the world that he wants them to stop learning and be completely uneducated so that we have to buy knowledge from him.

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

TFW even folks of average intelligence should feel intellectually superior to anyone who thinks there is such a thing as a "non-diverse person".

A cliff obscured by clouds and fog A river obscured by clouds and fog with a sunrise A river and a cliff under multicolored clouds with a sunrise

This morning's amazing foggy, cloudy sunrise over the Hudson with the NJ Palisades aglow across the river! The scene lasted only a few minutes as the wind blew south.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

democrats still seem to be laboring under the delusion that they can introduce stuff to pass while trump is president and they, not trump, will somehow get credit for it. they learned nothing from trump taking credit for covid stimulus checks

And in many cases no worse than forensic evidence. Pretending that you can match a bullet to a gun is no worse than misidentifying someone of a certain race. Tho not sure how you could misidentify Trump in an Epstein context, tbh.
