reflections in water…

I wrote a paper as an undergrad on that quite a long time ago and landed on starting the history around the 1920s and all the fights with British oil interests

It’s fine actually

I understand now how people thought cameras steal souls

Ahhh fair. Can always throw money at it!

There were a few too many moments in the campaign that left me scratching my head about her strategy and message discipline in a competitive primary in a giant state for a us senate seat. She’s extremely talented and small missteps dont matter near as much in lower profile races.

Imo, if Crockett got into the race much earlier and spent as much on conventional ads, and did it earlier, she’d probably have won. The former VP endorsed her! It was winnable for her and her approach to the campaign is prob why she didn’t win.

IMO you’d get better mileage out of Claude code for this

Don’t discount Collins’s strength but I think it’s a winnable seat this year if he isn’t the nominee. He’s going to get beat over the head (rightfully) w this stuff. I don’t think I’d vote for him if I lived there

If we all predict a very specific date one of us is going to look prophetic!

wow JD Vance is older than I thought

Presupposes a fact not in evidence.

People keep saying he’s another Fetterman but Roy Moore is probably the better analogy

I would argue it’s not regime change if they can keep using the same monogrammed cufflinks

Everyone is correct that Turkey will be mad but also, fuck those guys. Pissing off Turkey might be stupid but it's not wrong.

Someone needed to say it.

But all of this is Israel behaving as a normal state, and the antisemitic conspiracy theory where they are simultaneously an extension of the United States and also in control of the US is guaranteed to mislead its adherents

Rubio’s answer the other day seemed plausible. Seems like for a variety of reasons Israel was a go with or without us and Iran was going to shoot at us in response whether we helped IS or not. Trump went in; an alternative Harris presidency probably doesn’t, at least at first.

If you switch off your AIS probably good to have a line to US forces for deconfliction

I know it all sounds very stupid but best bet actually prob is to foment an armed uprising. I don’t think it will work but if I had to try something that’s probably what I’d do

ZELENSKYY ON IRAN: "Every "Shahed" drone in Ukrainian skies proves that the Iranian regime must be held accountable for it's attempts to destroy lives and kill people.

It is essential that those who defend life prevail in this confrontation.

Who is Khameini? I am Kahmeinie

My uber driver to lunch today had just left Dubai 12 hours before the strikes started. Flight went right over Iran. His friend with a later flight got stuck. Wild stuff

Donald Trump can still be supreme leader of Iran if Mike Pence has the courage.

I bet money on crude oil that we wouldn’t so I guess we’ll see

big, strong admirals, with tears in their eyes, they come to me and say, “mister president, what in the fuck are you talking about?”

Isn’t the hard part of turning partially enriched fuel into a bomb making it highly enriched w carefully manufactured centrifuges? I’m not sure this is as big a proliferation risk as Iran may have become after we tried and failed to blow up their fissile material (which was dumb)

Who on the Iranian side is left to make that deal
