U.S. Suffers Additional Casualties In War It Won Last Week
I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
HVAC is woke.
⚠️ Israel reportedly planning a ground invasion of Lebanon with plans to annex territory under the auspices of a “buffer zone”:
Yeah, man, hate to be a bummer but I don’t think that’s the military’s specialty

Hard to tell what’s more unnerving: that Qatar is being asked these questions — or that it’s answering them.

They’re sending 2500 troops, but not to the “war in Iran”! There is no war! That’s a CNN lie! They’re sending 2500 troops to a CNN lie, ok?
I am more concerned about the “use” of a nuclear weapon (by Washington) than at any time in my Gen X life

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

WSJ: Pentagon Sends Marine Expeditionary Unit to Middle East
Sending 2,500 Marines to the Middle East seems like a pretty major escalation of the war with Iran to me.
So, it's Friday does this mf'er think we wouldn't notice him sending 2,500 Marines to Iran?
The Pentagon is moving a Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, as Iran steps up its attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, according to two U.S. officials. Expeditionary units typically consist of up to 2,500 Marines.
Being a marine and getting sent to the coast of Iran as an expedition force with only air support has got to be like a top 3 nightmare scenario as a marine, right
I used to play Risk a lot in high-school. Here’s how many troops I think it will take to hold the Strait of Hormuz.

More rumors are going around Netanyahu is preparing to use nukes against Iran to stop the war. This would be a war crime and a stain the the American people that will never wash off.

I once worked in a collection that was far more interested in putting whatever paltry money they had into digitization than they were in hiring someone to catalog manuscripts they’d acquired decades ago whose only catalog entries are a typescript handlist onsite.
