I hope whoever is in charge of taking down everything with Trump's name on it on January 20th also disassembles everything featuring Saint Charlie

Love how we spend >$850 billion annually on defense so that we can have a week's worth of relevant munitions.

β€œTrump’s war” is good framing. it’s him, and it’s war.

I think a lot of people subscribe to the idea that you propagandize reality into existence by speaking it, so to describe things how they are is both anti-praxis in wasting breath, and anti-praxis in the idea that there are concrete reasons why things are happening beyond ”evil peopleβ€œ.

True in cultural criticism as well where apparently reviewing work equates to automatic enthusiastic approval just like all characters in works of fiction need to be Good People.

Correction: Indoctrination IS happening at UT.

It's just the Board of Regents that's doing it.

Oops.

To be fair, I learned a few years back that DoD once accidentally bombed the wrong African country during the Bush administration.

It will be interesting to see what Trump's neo-Nazi base thinks about going to war with Israel.

Some had come around since the last time Trump made illegal strikes on Iran. But it has always been the case that an anti-Jewish splinter could do real havoc, possibly including violence, to his support

@davidcorn.bsky.social correctly read this as a typo meant to say, "Operation Epstein Fury."

I don't think there was a full (public, at least) assessment of how Claude really did in the VZ invasion. I'm not aware that discussion ever moved beyond acknowledgment it did.

"[T]he shock and awe of Day One has largely buried under rubble the pretense of a negotiation by Steve and Jared, a negotiation that was either so incompetent as to be worse than useless or β€” probably more likely β€” a negotiation that was so incompetent by design, to serve its paymasters."
