Rule of thumb, whatever they say it cost, double it. This will hold true until scarcity develops. Then x 4.

'unflattering' Hegseth photos

Politico is recapping Pro Publica's reporting here, but it's essential stuff. Hegseth gutted the Pentagon offices that would have investigated the strike on an Iranian girls’ school. The Civilian Protection Center went from 200 employees to 20, with only 1 left investigating civilian casualties
Making a literal killing on pirated oil make the list yet I wonder?
We got more lies on Tuesday morning from the Pentagon press briefing. They’re now up to 17 different rationalizations for the attack on Iran, none of which makes sense....

Pete Hegseth is banishing photographers from the Pentagon over “unflattering” photos of him?
Would be a shame if this picture kept circulating.
Hormuz is so narrow you can add terrestrial worries to the list.
I don’t disagree but I’ll keep beating this drum:
There is no funding or ship mix that makes *escort* a good mission that makes sense.
Having done it in much more favorable conditions, this is nothing any navy would take on as a mission. Without expecting 300 dead kids.
I understand China has a couple dozen minesweepers. Maybe Pedo in Chief can persuade Xi to part with a squadron. Send in Witkoff, the world's best negotiator.
Guys it’s not happening. The Navy doesn’t have the right ship mix nor near enough hulls nor near enough sailors if it did. It’s too small, overstretched, and underfunded.
Which is what the navalists were trying to say before it was too late.
Well, it’s too late.
The splitscreen between the DOOM! here and the 'Maybe-It-Will-All-Work-Out-ism" on The Other Place is striking.
Time will tell, I suppose, but war is not generally the realm of 'things that just work out.'
Doug Ford. Failing on every file. How is this possible? It's possible because Doug Ford does not make policy to make the lives Ontarians better. He makes policy to make his donors even wealthier. #onpoli
Greased palms. Bribery. Baksheesh. Backhander. Good old fashioned graft. Canadian capitalists no different than American, it seems. Doug Ford knows it.

More insanity from the Ford government, now he will turn this to shit too.

The latest Secure Line episode is out! “With Regret: A Natsec Bitch Sesh” @jessmarindavis.bsky.social and I discuss the governments conflicting Iran and Indian Foreign Interference statements, and what the seeming elimination of the NSIA signals about the future of intel issues (probably not good!)
I'm giving a lecture today on Dominionism and the environment. I'm using the Iran war, the American military chaplaincy, and the lack of environmental harm assessment of "God's war in Iran" as a case study.
A lecture inspired by Bluesky and TikTok. I need to touch grass lol
Just watched a woman I used to work with and respect argue that
a) The pro-Palestine movement is a "synthetic cause" manufactured to prevent Jews from getting power (boring, normal)
b) Islam is a "synthetic religion" and Allah is a demon (okayyy?)
c) Trump and Netanyahu are faces of God (excuse me)

I submit that the above fantasy, shared by human tribes throughout history, is responsible for 95% of all the stupid shit our species has done for the last 5000 years. I am really over it.

Well the good news is that the Israeli opposition isn't actually all that crazy right.
Picture unrelated btw
Someone somewhere should do a psychological study on the chicken-egg of this thing where their entire national mythos / rationale for their constant vicious cruelty is that everyone hates them, and also their actions seem stunningly calculated to horrify and infuriate as many people as possible.
One of many things that drives me out of my mind is that Iran probably COULD have developed nukes, but Khameini actively opposed them.
Two of the world's biggest nuclear powers starved and bombed a nation that was actively trying to negotiate AND they killed the guy standing in the way of nukes.
I never use AI to write my law review articles. I earn every rejection on my own 😊
Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.
