as far as I can tell the US wants Iran to become Venezuela, while Israel wants it to become Libya

Paramount-Warner Would Create a Hollywood Jobs Apocalypse - The American Prospect The deal comes complete with so much debt that it would almost certainly lead to mass job loss. That could prove to be an argument against the deal in court, too.

Dumped the images off of one of my Gameboy Cameras... found this pic of the moon.

There were eight others, but this was the nice one.

This shot took my biggest lens and a stand made of Lego to hold everything still.

can't tell if this is clearly written or I've just gone insane by reading too many posts but somehow this is comprehensible even to me. is there some obvious way this could be a mistaken (but not fraudulent) result? really interesting if real

yeah as defensive technology it worked great! it's the offensive use and speed that's nuts; the idea is that much more charming and deranged for containing plausible components

this is the level of analysis I see from some immediate Taiwan invasion fears

"I'll let you pick whichever side you want in twilight struggle" is unfortunately not enough temptation for most people

having to explain this is what I mean and not monopoly (much as I love a good monopoly game) when people are like "you're into board games?" is always a struggle

Lavender, Military AI, and Technological Delegation Earlier today, the Tel Aviv-based outlet +972 Magazine published a long exposé on “Lavender,” an artificial intelligence-based program that Israel uses to automatically identify and target suspected H...

reposting this old piece of mine on military "ai," since the issues in it are likely to become live again.

they make a wasteland and call it peace

Gaza, south Lebanon, the West Bank, southwest Syria, this is the model that Israel wants across MENA: weak, permanently unstable, incapable of infrastructural reconstruction or administrative cohesion.

As someone who's been giving Middle East geography quizzes to young Americans in college for about 13 years now, I can tell you that this is accurate (at the start of my classes)

The imperial presidency was a mistake. It has led to destruction of clean air and water, mass death abroad, destruction of cancer research, and now illegal war.

We must re-empower Congress, the most democratic branch, and a strong civil service. We can. But that will require Supreme Court reform.

and to make it explicit, If you’re watching videos of kids get incinerated you’re not bearing witness, you’re almost guaranteed to transform into an incredibly unpleasant person who’s going to be a liability to whatever cause he cares about until thats dealt with

Dina Titus statement opposing war with Iran.

It's not hard to have a correct take on this if you're a Democrat. Thanks, @titus.house.gov.

"preemptive strikes" WAR OF AGGRESSION

And the Special Military Operation in Ukraine was supposed to take 3 days. The enemy gets a vote, lads.

Sorry but if you’re reaching out to people at the freaking Quincy institute for comment, you’re not a serious person

i think that he is telling the truth about the agreement and knows that the government has literally no intention of abiding by it

have a book chapter out on this and since I wrote it originally some time ago and it's not out until May I'm glad it's very vindicated by events so far

altman is a snake and this is to AI what the ellisons' deal for paramount and now warner bros is to media

my undergrad is in physics, I did a bunch of linear algebra and dynamical systems before history, and the last few years in particular I've been especially grateful for that

so… the whole thing was a play by Altman to shiv Amodei and destroy his company? that’s sort of what I’m getting here

this is one of those things where i think it would be useful for more people to recognize that this is completely unrecognizable compared to republican party orthodoxy for essentially the entire history of the republican party

this is really good stuff but you do have to get us the details on which mechanical keyboards jamelle recommends

hey #nutmegsky, @uconnhistory.bsky.social is hosting Ned Blackhawk on March 2 for a talk, “The Indigenous Origins of the American Revolution.” events.uconn.edu/history-depa...

while i hope the so-called restrainers will win on this one i'm skeptical, and worried we're going to see the previous strikes on Iran not as the victory for restraint they were interpreted as but an indication that "restraint" had already lost

potential headlines from next week include "Gerald R. Ford sunk" "UN officials trying to determine if Grok can be held responsible for war crimes" and "Secretary of Defense Hegseth not seen in public for five days"
