My understanding is that we've only executed one person for desertion since the Civil War (& that was in WWII). Do you think execution is a credible threat under the circumstances? I'm genuinely unsure myself.

I guess I just don't like butter.

I've been drinking kefir every other day & they were out of the type I like at the store so I bought some full-fat 3.25% kefir.

I felt like I was just eating a stick of butter.

You mean the plane that was already kinda old when Chuck Yeager's Air Combat came out in 1991?

Ever see someone endorse something & then say to yourself, "Well I'm glad I rejected that thing."

I'm exhausted by all the efforts to rewrite the history of the 2022 US Senate primary in Pennsylvania, with folks insisting "we told you so!" as to Fetterman, that Conor Lamb was always the better choice, and generally ignoring Malcolm Kenyatta's historic candidacy.

So let me say a few things. 🧵1/

Yeah this seems AI juiced in some way. Not full replacement (particularly, you wouldn't have him linger on suggesting more soldier deaths if you did this text to speech) but edited with AI.

So I'm not the only one who sees it?

Is it just me or does something feel off about this? Like, did the White House use AI to clean up this video?

No.

Yes, & if Ukraine thought preserving that navy were instrumental in territorial integrity or national self-determination, they surely would not have sunk it themselves.

Didn't Ukraine scuttle a significant portion of that navy to prevent its capture?

Also, I am not a military understander, but isn't the point of threatening to attack the Iranian Navy more about impacting their ability to do stuff on their own initiative? It wouldn't seem to be conducive to regime change.

Kevin, you don't understand. We are Good People with Good Morals who would have Good Reactions.

Their reactions must be deviant & bad otherwise we might not be Good.

I know I bought my EV when gas prices took a turn upward.

My car was turning from nickel & dime to dime & quarter & knowing I wouldn't have to worry about gas prices pushed me over the edge.

For those reading: you also don't have to pay for oil changes or most routine maintenance anymore either.

I don't where it's going to land, but have already seen promising signs.

I mentally added "I don't care where it's going to land, but have already seen promising signs" & realized I misread it.

& then I realized, no I didn't.

As someone who was around back then, yes we did.

Langston Hughes called it "The land that never has been yet," in a fairly hopeful poem. We're definitely not there now.

Whatever future it has, the US or its successor states will be the junior partner in the arrangement.

& just for the record, you can argue whether it's good or bad but this person said it better than me

Yes what country puts a primary school within a military base

I am on record in many conflicts (& might as well be on record in Donnie's war with Iran, too) that those conflicts were more ill-conceived than the Iraq War

This might make it seem like I liked the Iraq War. Friend, the Iraq war was a bumbling farce, an unjust & criminal war, these wars are worse

Basically this,

Chance that Khamenei was killed at the very start and the the government launched retaliatory strikes indicates the IRGC has potentially institutionalized itself more than many people tried to argue

KAMALA HARRIS WILL SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO WAR STOP WARS VOTE TRUMP VANCE

The "This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t" headline from The Onion, cropped to "vs. No It Won't"

n't

Just gonna say I checked the news right before I went to bed. It's not a good time either.

I am not a military strategist but I wonder if there should be a question mark after phase 3 as well
