What's worse is you know they are likely also making jokes about the US military personnel who died, just not on camera (yet)

Yes! I really enjoy her podcast with Matt Lewis.
Maybe not even relevant now that the discourse has gone so far, but do we even know she is Jewish? I thought that was still just an assertion from the bowels of X somewhere? I mean, maybe classy of Platner to never bring it up himself as a tattoo defense ("My wife didn't mind!") but...
Cue the "It's a small world after all" music
Some also look like they're from the jobs ads she made as SD governor
Stan Lee cameo in Princess Diaries 2 means it's part of the MCU.
As you note, that is why a serious discussion of options and possible consequences, and due diligence, before action (as well as afterwards) is so important. I would love to see a US which was much less prone to violence, at home and abroad
While the US has always been a nation that has used violent means, I have noticed that it increasingly has a very "that problem looks like a nail" attitude since 9/11. The destruction of USAID and other soft power will only increase that- and violence is one of the most consequential of actions.
"There are always unintended consequences." We really should put this on our money
I agree, it seems odd to not discuss the ethics or even that its a change in practice. I am not necessarily opposed to a new way of warfare/diplomacy which targets leaders as opposed to the regular Jane and Joe recruits who used to die as "signals" between nations, but there are serious issues.
Thank you, looking forward to seeing this!
Those look awesome! The work you did on the colors is great. What scale are they in?
That looks great on you! What a nice present!

#Miniatures I really enjoyed painting/constructing this 1984 Grenadier Writhing Crusher into an exploring scientist and guard team.
*feeling
I can't help not feel sorry for them. Did they not know with whom they were dealing? I don't want AI involved in warrantless surveillance, target acquisition, or the actual firing of weapons either but only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiots would think this DoW wouldn't use it that way
I sometimes think this was a problem of Democrats refusing to "go low." The phrase "Trump Crime Wave" might have been a useful counter-narrative. All the 'tough on crime' Dems elected in the early 2020's could have been a response to the Trump crime Wave. People are always going to dislike crime...
Good call!
I can't hit "like" on this but I appreciate your coverage, the fog of war online is challenging and your efforts help keep some things clearer, thank you

#Miniatures I finished this intrepid space explorer today, mostly to try out my new sci-fi background.

Yes, any idea of effective punishment would entail the formal loss of those titles and credentials.
A panel from the CD package of True Stories of Time Travel. It includes the credits for the EP over a painting of George Washington and a bunch of other dudes signing the Constitution. In the background The King Teen, in modern dress, is spray painting graffiti on the wall behind George that says DON'T COMPROMISE ON SLAVERY!!!
My new EP True Stories of Time Travel is available for pre-order at Bandcamp, but you can buy a CD at tonight's show at Local506 in Chapel Hill. I go on at 8, and then there's Severed Fingers, The Malamondos and the 20th anniversary show of Blood Red River!

Group of eight 25mm partially painted unit of skeletons warriors in red clothing remnants
That’s a cool idea! (Still WIP but I went the uniform route for my last batch )
varied color scheme is a little more unexpected/out of the box for a skeleton bunch
That is a great looking unit!
