A one panel comic. It’s a bookshelf with shelves askew made to look like a geological layers of rock with a fault line. It is labeled geology. And a goateed person with a messenger bag is looking at it.

Also unconditional support for israel is probably a liability and they probably have an incentive to keep starting shit if it keeps the US tied to the region and thus to them
You only need to see freeside to know what life under house would be for most people
This is straight up war crime advocacy, a declaration like this from someone so far up the chain would've been beyond the pale even during the world wars
The only conclusion I can give is that he has no idea how war is fought and has been fought for centuries
How can he believe that when it was iran that closed the straight? Does he not understand that means iran still has some control over the course of the war? Does he think that doesn't count as control?
A bit late but man was kast's speech bad, he just couldn't hold the crowd's excitement or keep a thread going, it just meandered and every time the crowd started catching on a theme to cheer he'd change the subject
Basically the question is whether it was an interregnum or a potential turning point that never was
Biden will be that forgotten president that has a small, loyal fanbase that likes all the good parts and pushes the failures aside and a small group of haters who'll never forgive him for his failures (mainly allowing trump 2)
Most people won't care
This kind of macarthur revisionism is both funny and kinda infuriating once you know why and how the relief happened and how hard macarthur worked to shape the memory of the event

Having a favorite trade node says so much
Tanker crew pay is probably going up permanently
Man the crews of every tanker in the world must be thrilled by these developments
I think they blocked me too, it says I got two responses but I can only see one
Well, I think it's better this way, the argument was likely going nowhere
Welp, time for cuba
Idk why we should take the trolley problem so literally, we could just as well assume the trolley has too much inertia to be stopped at that point
Not having options is the whole point, it's meant to be an extreme edge case to examine moral frameworks at their edges
Hey, at least they were actually building ships
Really good song
I suspect this will happen even if the current regime does collapse
(actually if those two things do happen I'd also add allying with syria as a possibility and if that happens lebanon probably gets invited too)
Fair enough, but I would expect them to do everything they can to maintain *some* strike capability, I suspect they're willing to let other parts of the economy die in order to maintain them
Don't they produce their own strike capabilities? Won't they just disperse and harden the production lines?
Hi #EarlyModern Bluesky - did you know that someone brilliant has built working printing presses using Lego and they are trying to get enough supporters so that Lego will release it as a kit?
They look so cool!

It probably comes down to first, not taking russia seriously and second, the admin wanting to see russia as a potential friend while the russians see the US as their rival
It makes it hard to create a coherent narrative that doesn't involve suggesting sending more help to ukraine
It's amazing that they're talking about china being behind iran when it's russia that's actively helping them
They've not been subtle and have literally said they'll do it
The cuban government might be able to get its shit together for this, being a bastion against yankee imperialism is like the only raison d'etre they have left
I find this bastardization of forgiveness so repugnant
I have to admit I'm biased against the very concept of born again christianity, but the practice is somehow way worse
I think the most likely path forward is all of this winding down without any actual deal or plan as the admin starts planning (improvising) their invasion of cuba or something
There's a very real and fundamental problem with that approach, the good stuff surrounding the quoted thing often includes other quotes that lead to more good stuff that lead to more quotes and so on (send help)
I'm now opposed to HoI adding war crimes mechanics, I thought they were needed to properly represent the true horrors of fascism but I've been convinced otherwise
No
