9·1 hour agojust one more decapitation strike bro
In a coincidence - I just read a Max Boot article and it was even worse than I expected. It was laughable. I’m older than Boot and I’ve been hearing this shit and reading about America’s overwhelming military advantages™ for fucking decades. AI could write the shit. There must be literally billions and billions and billions and billions of words AI has access to that it could plagiarize from and put in the prompt rightwing pundit hack justifies American war of aggression.
The United States has leveraged its technological advantage to full effect against Iran, admittedly a second-rate adversary. But even in such a one-sided conflict, there are sharp limits to what airpower alone can accomplish.
[…]
Though the U.S. military is the best in the world, America’s political leadership leaves much to be desired.
[…]
There is no easy fix for the problem of incompetent political leaders who recklessly fritter away America’s overwhelming military advantages in unnecessary “excursions” premised on wishful thinking. That deficiency can be remedied only at the ballot box.
Because Trump is a wartime president Boot’s criticisms are muted and kind of hilarious to me.
Trump’s management of this conflict has been woefully and predictably deficient.
Ya don’t say!
NYT update
Israel attempted to kill one of Iran’s most powerful leaders, Ali Larijani, in a strike overnight on Tuesday, according to three Israeli military officials. The officials — who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive subject — could not immediately confirm if Larijani had been killed. Larijani is the head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and a close confidant of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on Feb. 28, the first day of U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.
I thought for a moment the pic wasn’t a pic and it was fucked up AI because of the head-like shadow. But a second later I realized the shadow of the helipad. Then I noticed if you look lower too it even seems that it could be a shadow of a person reading a book.

Britain
Some people in Britain call the pies made with beef “cottage pies” and those with lamb, “shepherd’s pies”. The major supermarkets do so, and the distinction is backed by some reference works.
Other authorities…
Other authorities and cooks and food writers including Prue Leith, Caroline Waldegrave and John Ayto regard the two names as completely interchangeable. Jane Grigson’s 1974 recipe for shepherd’s pie uses beef, and mentions that it is “sometimes called” “cottage pie”.
In Australia, Canada, and the US
In Australia, Canada, and the US, “shepherd’s pie” is a common term for a dish of any meat covered in mashed potato. Food retailers in those countries apply the term “shepherd’s pie” to beef-filled pies as well as those containing lamb.
I was going to read the page but then I realized it goes on and on and on.
The Billionaire Chorus scoffs and says “Who cares what Plato thought. What was his net worth anyway? Not much - right?”

CW: Disturbing movie gif
4 arrived in Philadelphia for scrapping last week from the Middle East (see picture).
Are they in terrible shape? Why did they leave the Middle East? Why didn’t the Pentagon send them to a close but safe spot around the strait of Strait of Hormuz?
Mine sweeper question
Edit.
Is this Bluesky comment actually true?Man, Bluesky gets worse by the day.
What’s the status of US mine sweepers. How many do they have? Etc.
Along with Hoover being in there forever - democrats always seem to “rubberstamp” the GOP director that’s already there instead of replacing them. I think I read once every director has been a republican.
Trump said said he’ll have “the honor of taking Cuba… I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth.”
49 second vid clip.
Trump’s full rant on Cuba:
“I think Cuba, in its own way, tourism and everything else, it’s a beautiful island, great weather. They’re not in a hurricane zone, which is nice for a change, you know? They won’t be asking us for money for hurricanes every week. I do believe I’ll have the honor of taking Cuba. That’s a big honor. Taking Cuba in some form, you know. Taking Cuba. I mean, whether I free it, take it – I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth.”
He’s getting more insane by the day.
Laundry light weight so ship fast. Very, very good. But I want STEAM POWER so laundry ship bad maybe? Steam could make many fires. My top military guyz on it.
600 sailors and crew members had lost their beds and have since been bunking down on floors and tables
They must love that. Also - what percentage is 600 of the total crew?

Edit
~13%
The ship, along with its 4,500 sailors and fighter pilots…
Chuck Schumer
Donald Trump says he’s hoping China will help us clear the Strait of Hormuz. Are you kidding me? Donald Trump created a mess in the Middle East, and he clearly has no plan for how to end it.
God do I hate Schumer.
I had to be away from keyboard to clean my house. I didn’t realize I had left the tab open.
2·14 hours agoMight write more about this in a bit.
I would like to read more.
FT
Donald Trump said he did not think the war would end this week, but added that it will be “wrapped up soon”.
“It won’t be long, and we’re going to have a much safer world. It’ll be wrapped up soon."
He added that the current market turmoil was a “very small price to pay” compared to allowing Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons.
“Frankly, I thought [the stock market] was going to go down much more. It’s a big chess game at a very high level. I’m dealing with very smart players.”
I edited it for the quote tags.

At Reddit - You could do a search for her last name and sort by comments and by top. By sub too?

Ninja edit
[Bluesky rant deleted. My rants about that site bore even me. I’m old and I just keep going on the same subject as if I’m talking to myself like now. This mic isn’t on is it? Anyway… You know - my prostate…]
I assume you need to scroll down a dozen posts more to get anything critical and good because the top results are fanboy/fangirl stuff. She’s young! She’s attractive! She’s Palestinian! She’s… Politics is not celeb news or at least it shouldn’t be. What are her fucking policies?
I might use that search later today.

Edit
Just ~2 minutes have passed and a rare post about her snuck through. I don’t want to filter out a word like “Kat”. It’s a post by Ben Collins.
I wrote about Kat.
