RAPIDAN: “.. two weeks into the war, Tehran's leadership has consolidated, forces have dispersed and absorbed strikes without decisive degradation, and Iran is shaping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz on its own terms. The regime sees no pressure to exit ..”
Coulda told you that betting on Trump to not welch was a bad idea
What to do when your oncologist and your podcaster disagree about cancer treatment.
Is this not just fraud on the part of Grammarly?
@ossoff.senate.gov is the ONLY Democratic U.S. Senator up for reelection in a state Trump won.
He’s MAGA’s #1 target in the midterms.
There’s no path back from the brink of authoritarianism without defending this seat. Go to electjon.com & support Jon!
We're a long way out, but I'm pretty sure this is The Guy.
I'm becoming more convinced by the day that he's The Guy
Is he talking about the IRGC or ICE?
$27.9 million per SM-3 interceptor. $400k per Iranian Fattah-2 ballistic missile.
The maths on our costs to knock down missiles and one-way drones are not sustainable.
It's a selection pressure for lack of empathy.
People who are capable of caring about others have lower fitness for a role that prioritizes greed and self-interest over every other quality.
fun fact: the department of homeland security added restrictions last year to its nonprofit security grants program that help synagogues and other jewish institutions hire security that effectively makes it so that liberal jewish organizations can't qualify
Appears to be the synagogue's private security, not police who neutralized the shooter.
I think it's important to emphasize b.c. most goyim don't realize that every synagogue in the country has to pay for private security professionals onsite to protect their congregants from violent antisemites
As a total laymen on the psych involved, my guess would be that you get into a survival mindset where rational analysis doesn't enter the picture at all and you're just reacting moment to moment to different stimuli
I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming “logistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs
In large part because we have gotten rid of all the friction to gambling!
There are very strict restrictions on alcohol/tobacco advertising, their distribution is heavily regulated, & they're taxed directly
NONE of that applies to gambling. Imo we should immediately implement an advertising ban.
Yeah @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social had a focus group pod last week with GenZ men and most of the panel described sports betting as a side hustle. It's nuts how prevalent this attitude is with young men. None of them understand that the apps ban you if you make money.
Can't/won't happen because the board is paid in stock, and firing the CEO for incompetence is worse for the stock in the short term.
Need to ban (or at least impose massive restrictions ) stock comp before any kind of sanity can emerge from the corporate exec set.
The UK takes Everything Is Gender to a level Americans cannot of even dream of achieving
The radar installation in Qatar that was destroyed by Iran was a strategic level asset.
You're probably picturing a big radar dish. The AN/FPS-132 is more of a massive, multistory concrete building that looks like a cut pyramid. A major civil engineering project. There was ONE in the Middle East.
Over/under on how long until somebody in the admin unironically proposes a $10 trillion canal through UAE + Oman to "solve" the Hormuz problem?
@corncobanalysis.bsky.social uh, woah. Granted it's a Dem sponsored poll and the Tony Gonzalez stuff has probably affected opinion on Rs in general. But that's an implied D+20 swing from '24?
NC GOP really struggling to find somebody who's not a sex pest to nominate for statewide office the last couple years
I also don't get why we're not talking about the 26th amendment more? The voter ID requirements in the SAVE act are explicitly unconstitutional, and would get enjoined (in states with blue AGs at least) on day one. Voter ID is a poll tax unless the ID is provided for free & by default to everyone!
I, uh, also think insurance is gonna be hella expensive for a long time to come. Cuz what if the minesweepers miss a mine?
Well, they basically just priced this in when they leaked it Monday right? That's why we came from $120 back down to $85, the market knew this was coming
@uminnpress.bsky.social hey guys, think you can check out what admin has to say about one of their law profs lying before Congress to support the stripping of basic Constitutional rights?
Y'all are gonna wind up with Boris on your currency aren't you
Cauliflower is the only brassica mistake. It should absolutely be forgotten.
