literal lol at how accurate this is

Van Jones is the Tulsi Gabbard of Shaun Kings

holy shit i'd already forgotten about that

oh yeah there's no mission at all - i think it is exactly what you're saying: it ends when we don't have anything left, which is def not a mission

NVIDIA chips

and led to iran attacking surrounding countries! just no forethought, no care, no anything that acknowledges any complexity or human cost

i think it'll be the same dumb dragged-out process we had with cloud storage, limited representation, etc. a messy patchwork of different rules across states that persists until if/when the tech is so ubiquitous that most bars just give in

The strike weapons aren't really the problem (it's bad and dumb long term but it won't impact the prosecution of this campaign) but yeah the math between how quick you're burning down interceptors vs how well you're doing at destroying Iranian TELs/missiles was always the fundamental equation

Nobody could have predicted...

lol eat shit this is ridiculous

Marco Rubio in 3 different crowns

oh shit thanks for this. i have a rad power utility bike, but it has the battery that can burn your house down and their future is kinda uncertain with the bankruptcy so i've been in the market for something new

Why is everything simultaneously so fucking awful and so fucking stupid

you go to war with the half baked plan you have at 3 am on a saturday morning

it's maddening to watch these monsters dismantle democracy and violate international law, but it's also so annoying that the stupidest people imaginable are doing it in such a stupid way

i mean, he might, but probably not in the way Mace is thinking

U.S. Races to Accomplish Iran Mission Before Munitions Run Out President Trump says the Iran campaign might last a week or longer, but dwindling stockpiles could limit his options.

i'm no fancy military strategist but "we didn't really plan so we're going to run out of munitions soon" seems not great

RETVRN

yep. i'm not seeing any evidence that somehow relying on the usual research tools, doc assembly, etc., means you are lagging. sure, there may come a time where, like email, lawyers are presumed to be able to understand and use it, but that is def not now.

so we're gonna try to install the shah's son - do i have that right?

lol my law school was regionally, not nationally, fancy so not so much that, but def that people had safety nets, parents paying, no need to work, and that was presumed to be true for everyone

they all ape Trump by just yelling ARTICLE II and it's equal parts horrifying and stupid that Congress seems to no longer believe in its own Article I powers

when i started law school and profs offhandedly explained that we should get a couple Brooks Brothers suits in preparation for interviews, presuming $1000+ was a normal amount everyone could afford, i went "ohhhh perhaps i have made a mistake"

omg gimme

i do think Trump, Hegseth, etc., did genuinely believe they could attack Iran and somehow bully Iran into not responding at all and that's just the dumbest magical thinking ever

also the whole oyster business? mom's restaurants are his customers! it's all just so fake, and what i hate most about it is that when it is fake, you can walk away, but actual blue collar people have very few paths out

something that had super low caps and therefore made it more of a small bit of entertainment, the equivalent of betting on the football game with your friends or whatever, seems like it would work out ok but instead it's fully the opposite.

when i saw that a few months ago i literally burst out laughing. larping as a struggling up-from-the-bottom salt of the earth blue collar dude.

all of Minnesota howling WE TRIED TO WARN YOU. WE EVEN SUGGESTED YOU PICK SOMEONE FROM WISCONSIN, OUR MORTAL ENEMY

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”
