lol right we appear to be accepting the hypothesis that trying to replace patriots with samp isn't really a viable/desirable choice

...and it would cover a significantly smaller area than patriots would...

not sure this undermines investing in domestic tech....because in reality there is a pretty urgent need for launchers + interceptors now, and trying to develope a europatriot alternative will take decades...

During class tonight, a classmate saw my bookcase behind me on Zoom and **sent an email to my university address** asking about the books.

“Mostly military and international relations stuff. Some comics.”

This woman says, “My fingers are itching to lightly shuffle my way across the binds.”

WHAT

Just got a Myspace flashback

This thread contains my notes on my Takaichi's press conference Friday.

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee creating an alternate reality:

"What destroyed the negotiations for the hostages was the European nations going and having this push for a unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state... it destroyed negotiations."

It's an interesting exercise in the stickiness of certain narratives because the idea that young people and nonwhites underwent a political realignment between 2020-2024 remains remarkably sticky.

'im telling mr albanese about you. you're in big trouble'

...but using the relatively limited data and interpreting it as if the real world is a lab won't help us to make sense of much....

patience + scepticism are prudent in the middle of an unprecented economic experiment (remember when inflation was this massive problem?!)

like, humans are slightly more nuanced than the text books imply.

if people are anticipating price rises, and front-loading their consumption...whilst retailers try to delay price rises/run down inventory....this would all just be noise.

i understand its not great for finance...

you can if it reflects falling real demand...we should be careful about projecting 'normal times' rules on the current economic experiment....

the thing to be careful of, is linking cost-of-living, to prices.

cost of living is impacted by both prices AND wages for most of us...we're in this miracle scenario where wages are stalling whilst prices are rising.

in case anyone missed it: rolling back tariffs, and ending deportation of migrant workers would DEFINITELY act as a magic anti-inflation button

She missed off the word 'respectively' at the end.

can confirm that gettin an occassional kickin made me a slightly more humble, more compassionate, less self-absorbed narcissist.

agree on US...wrt europea it really depends @ what rate, what the expected india/china response would be, how painful the war is for the europeans....

i understand trump has his own tariff clusterfuck goin on and is probably lookin for support, but that doesnt mean no tariffs ever...

Any criticism of Patel and Bongino’s failure to solve crimes must also acknowledge past FBI director Chris Wray’s failure to podcast and sell supplements.

any idea how this data is calculated?

tracking income changes of groups between 21 + 23 seems either ludicrously complex, or an exercise in futility....

Kash Patel's dismantling of the FBI will make it harder to find Charlie Kirk's real killer. But it will make it easier to make some random liberal activist the lead suspect.

What's batshit is ignoring that Garland ignored prosecuting Trump for two whole years. Garland took his sweet fucking time 🚬

Funny…

I remember when they promised Brexit would do that.

Trump is 40+ minutes late for his own proof-of-life press conference. Not great.

You know what? Today would be a great fucking day to release the Epstein files.

*Absolutely no one*

*Complete silence*

Me: here's all the Z-20s I know about from PLA Ground Force's 161st Air Assault Brigade

There is actually some truth to these allegations: Europeans tend to be less eager than Trump to allow Russia to stop the war by crushing Ukraine

love that most of the disagreement with you here takes the form of 'ok so your wrong because the internet has already replaced friends....'

This action by Lisa Cook is courageous, principled, and deserves broad support.

potentially right* 😂😂

feel worse for em about the week in egypt than a few hours on a plane in estonia
