Hey I know inflation is out of control and a lot of folks can’t afford basic necessities, but at least we’re tackling waste fraud and abuse by buying… *checks notes* 250 Escalades for the government.

Zoomed in on a corner so we can’t identify all the apparent AI shit in the photo - smart, but definitely not convincing anyone

Trump can’t fire JD Vance. Thank you for your attention to this matter

What that also tells me is that we still don’t have air supremacy, despite administration claims. We could drop gravity bombs on Iran every day for 20 years if we had to, but that’s obviously more dangerous.

Yep. Weapons can broadly be classified in two terms: Exquisite - the good shit. Expensive. Limited stock. Affordable mass - scalable production, large quantities, easy to replace. We’ve been using a lot of JASSM/JASSM-ER, TLAMs, PAC-3 interceptors, etc. That’s the good shit.

Biden depleted our stockpiles. It’s a lie that our stockpiles are depleted. The people leaking this should be in jail. This is some insane mental gymnastics even for Mike Waltz

Unbelievable. They clearly don’t understand the Iranian regime if they think economic pressure is going to work. Iran understands they have the leverage here. They’ll keep playing Trump like a puppet until he gets all the way in, or all the way out of the war. Hopefully out.

Periodic reminder that Ukraine is one of our best allies. Between the intelligence sharing, capability sharing (drones, counter drone systems), and the fact they’re degrading the capability of one of our primary adversaries, anyone rooting against them looks even dumber now.

Agreed. I can’t fix it by myself, but I do try to do my part every year!

I agree with you that a lot of people *think* they want that. Most of those people have never seen what real violence actually looks like.

It’s that time of year again. Teachers, THANK YOU for what you do. If you need help stocking your room this year, please drop a link to your Classroom Wishlists in the comments! I’ll get as much as I can, and there are always some great members of the community who chip in too!

Alright folks, gotta stop there for now. Thank you for spending part of your Friday with me! <3

We will, yes. But it’s going to require patience on our part. This isn’t a one term fix. We’re going to have to give the next Dem POTUS plenty of grace and TIME to unfuck, well… everything.

I fucking hope so.

I can’t think of one. Particularly right before the midterms.

I think the death toll is largely accurate. They wouldn’t be able to cover up death on a large scale - someone (doctors, squad mates, family members, etc.) would talk. They’re absolutely covering up the wounded, though. Re: running the country, mostly Stephen Miller, unfortunately.

He’s seriously tossing around the idea of boots on the ground. They’re also floating a bigger bombing campaign, but it’s pretty clear to anyone with a functioning brain that we can’t bomb enough to make a real impact. The combat search and rescue and the medics are the real signal here.

AI is actually one of my primary concerns. I’ve written about some of the dangers in a few different pieces, but I worry a lot about AI, particularly in the national security space. Truly autonomous weapons are insane, but they’re coming. The AI-powered surveillance state is real, and improving.

Whatever they’re doing for his water retention isn’t helping

OMG that face! He looks like a teddy bear.
