Iran was nowhere close to a nuclear bomb, experts say Although President Trump has claimed Iran was weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, much more work was needed for the country to do so

And near as we can gather, they're no further away today either.

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences.

And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

I see we've entered into the 'exit visa' stage of today's geopolitics.

Doctor Who fans perk up at the phrase “ramshackle collection.”

I mean, who could've imagined the Iranian regime might take something hostage?

Using government authority to manipulate the supply in order to stabilize markets doesn't sound very free enterprise to me.

A man who can start a war in the Middle East then just declare victory no matter the reality is certainly capable of losing an election then just declaring victory.

An interesting and important detail.

Make love. Not excursion.

Countries conduct wars, and the American people are responsible for the actions of their government.

Americans’ opinions of Canada, Great Britain are lower than ever Republicans have soured on the two U.S. allies after a year of Trump antagonizing their leaders.

80 percent of Americans still view Canada favourably, though this is a 10 percent drop, attributable entirely to MAGA Republicans.

Nation that spends $968 billion every 12 months on its military is alarmed and concerned that there are additional costs once you drive the car off the lot.

I think a good accountant could tally up sunk and ongoing expenditures and offset these against projected gains to make it look as though the war is saving Americans money.

Those planes would have been flying around anyway, pretty much.

The Americans, who really don't like public enterprise and are highly suspicious of government, have launched themselves into a war, the largest public enterprise of them all. Everyone involved, from the most senior admirals to the newest recruit, is a public servant on the government payroll.

These claims that the US campaign in Iran is costing $1 billion/day. How do you measure something like that? The carriers and warplanes are already paid for. The military personnel are already on salary. There are no great additional fuel costs. The only new expenditure seems to be munitions.

If you need the real news watch CBC or BBC. They correct every Trump lie. Which is pretty much everything he says.

Bondi Is Said to Move to Military Housing Because of Threats

They're moving all their top people into centralized protective compounds, as though they're the American government of Baghdad.

To the Poilievre Conservatives, I guess this is the equivalent of moving the Doomsday Clock to two seconds before midnight.

Everything feels terrible and everyone's on edge, but do we have data on that? I wonder if dentists have seen an uptick in people grinding their teeth? This can cause trouble for the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. Sleep loss. Headaches, especially in the morning. You know, life today.

Another floor crossing to the Liberals.

This time from the NDP.

How to make sense of this?

Our book is a good place to start: partyloyalty.ca.

Hitting a house in Los Angeles all the way from Florida is some Annie Oakley level sharpshooting.

Snake Plissken remains a top flight name for an anti-hero. That said, Snakes on a Plissken would be a lousy title for a movie.

the tankers yearn for the mines

The real way to beat the Turing test is to blur the line between human writing and machine output so much that people stop caring about the difference

When will there be a TRANS of Hormuz

Good lord.

This sounds idiotic, but let us recall that in 1991 French intellectual Jean Baudrillard published three essays, titled one after the other, "The Gulf War will not take place," "The Gulf War is not really taking place," and "Gulf War did not take place." And amazingly enough Baudrillard was right.
