I hope the life will force you to get a real job, preferably soon.

I mean, you don't want a campaign against Russia, China or whoever else because it would be bad publicity for them? Make a campaign with protagonists and antagonists in both sides and you can go to war with anyone

And without even mentioning World in Conflict

I soldati libici di Haftar vengono addestrati nelle basi militari italiane - Il Post Lo ha ricostruito il Post: l’Italia riconosce come legittimo solo l’altro governo libico, e proprio Haftar due settimane fa aveva umiliato il ministro Piantedosi

Ogni tanto sono un po' perplesso dalle scelte che fa Il Post, ma poi mi ricordo che pagano anche gente come @danieleraineri.bsky.social e quindi dai, rinnoviamolo questo abbonamento:

I feel like the left in the US polarized itself into willful ignorance on military policy and entirely ceded the foreign policy of it to the right because the military was viewed as de facto a right-wing tool and all use of military force as imperialistic

It's year 2301: we've built a Dyson ring around the Sun, interstellar travel will soon become commercial, and Eastern European parliaments are still fu*king with their respective anti-corruption bureaus.

Everything looks innovative when you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Today, Ukraine saw its first mass protest since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Demonstrators gathered to demand President Zelensky veto bill №12414, which was passed by 263 MPs in the Verkhovna Rada on 22 July.

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

When the historians of centuries future assess 'American civilization,' and I think what I would want them to remember about us - a man on the moon, the internet, the defeat of the confederacy, Norman Borlaug, Norman Borlaug a second time for emphasis.

And we beat the Nazis into the ground.

Whether it’s Joe Biden mistakenly calling the president of Egypt the president of Mexico or Donald Trump mistakenly arresting the wrong people and sending them to foreign gulags, both sides have made newsworthy errors.

When SV tech nerds talk about needing to “adapt or die” they’re actually culturally appropriating that term from us.

America’s Kwantung Army Iran, Civil-Military Relations, and the Strategic Vortex of CENTCOM

If you follow myself or any number of defense posters, you’d know CENTCOM is something of a meme. But there comes a point when meme becomes reality, sucking in resources in pursuit of increasingly pointless and dubious objectives all the while very real threats continue to fester. My latest⬇️

“The Finnish defence system has many quite unique features that would be hard to replicate in other contexts and therefore aren’t directly exportable. However, the basics of what generally makes people want to defend their country apply quite universally:”

It creates the persistent irony that as a research field, military history is stronger than it has ever been. *If* your department has a military historian, the mil-hist you get is much better than it was 20, 30 years ago.

But the chances in the 'if' dice roll haven't changed in decades.

Ukrainian refugees boosted Poland’s GDP by 2.7% in 2024, finds UN study

Ukrainian refugees boosted Poland’s GDP by 2.7% last year while not increasing unemployment or pushing down wages, finds a report by the UN refugee agency and Deloitte.

"Whoever thinks refugees are a burden on the economy should think again," says @unhcr.org.

Gonna do every newspaper in America a favor and write their headline. It reads:

TRUMP DISCUSSES FOREIGN CONCENTRATION CAMPS FOR AMERICAN CITIZENS WITH BUKELE

There you go. Don't even need to credit me.

"To say what, specifically? I'm just a little curious"

Now, the administration is taking drastic steps to pressure some of those immigrants and others who had legal status to “self-deport” by effectively canceling the Social Security numbers they had lawfully obtained, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with six people familiar with the plans. The goal is to cut those people off from using crucial financial services like bank accounts and credit cards, along with their access to government benefits. The effort hinges on a surprising new tactic: repurposing Social Security’s “death master file,” which for years has been used to track dead people who should no longer receive benefits, to include the names of living people who the government believes should be treated as if they are dead. As a result, they would be blacklisted from a coveted form of identity that allows them to make and spend money.

The Trump administration is now canceling people's Social Security Numbers, treating them as if they are legally dead. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

"Gamers" who don't even know the existence of Nathan Drake

It's like when kids touch the stove because "Yeah I want to see what happens if I do it haha" and then they find out it's quite hot

I mean, if you want to try I'd announce drone strikes on Russia. A win win situation
