There was a time when Russia had an "unlimited" amount of tanks, too.

Ukraine war analysts are eating the US alive on youtube. General theme is "can you believe this s***?" They can talk about shaheds and interceptor economics twice a day for an hour at a time. In the Pentagon they only use X though.
Take it up with the guy who claims to know something about which languages were spoken in the Middle East 2,000 years ago. That guy is not me.
Maybe Trump is trying to quiet quit the war.
A tomahawk missile costs the taxpayers the same amount of money as one five-year major NIH research grant. Remember that every time they tell us one of those missed the target, blew up paintings of enemy aircraft or tanks, or was the fifth and unnecessary hit on the same target.
If you're excited about the technology for specific applications, you're cool
If you're excited about convincing LLM skeptics to get onboard by telling us we're just as bad as the tech bros, you're a centrist
βTwo Trump advisers tell Zeteo that the president was β in the words of one adviser β βfully briefed and preppedβ by national-security officials and senior staff on the likelihood of Iranβs government throttling oil prices, markets, andβ¦
Mockler: I also find it very ironic that Republicans are so welcoming to any form of bigotry but the moment that bigotry is targeted towards them, they freak the hell out
Though the quotes here (from July 2025) are not about exactly the specific problems below, it was clear from the jump that so much of the money given to DHS and ICE would disappear in waves of incompetence, graft, and corruption.
And so they have.
CAMERA DOWN, MAN. CAMERA DOWN.

The Fallout TV series managed to keep a story going outside the vault because outside is the whole deal in that world. But that's a tough thing to do from scratch! It kinda seems like no one gave much thought to what might be going on outside during the writing of Paradise season.
Itβs comments like this that dredge up my musings over the fact that Trump buys his home decor from some factorys making ugly gilded crap and those factories can only exist because there are enough other people buying the same ugly gilded crap.
Basically the entire theory of not acting like a liar, bully, monster etc, aside from one's moral committments is that over time, acting like that makes people not want to interact with you or do business with you, etc... Trump's entire life theory is: what if you can get away with it forever?
Itβs not like mining will change the amount of traffic through Hormuz, which will go from zero to zero, but it immediately makes the fallout global and irreversible, by ensuring that traffic remains zero for the foreseeable future. Which is why itβs odd itβs getting only moderate press attention

Me? Im not sure of anything. The guy whoβs a βhistorian of late antique Central and West Asiaβ (according to his Wikipedia page) mentioned it when he was drawing a parallel between how languages like Turkish and Persian werenβt subsumed by Arabic when Islam came, and Greek in the Roman Empire.
I've been struggling with how to express my dismay at the war coverage by our top newsrooms, and how it dances around the central fact that Trump is deranged and unfit to command. I finally wrote something. Please read it. presswatchers.org/2026/03/the-...

F*^*ing idiots.
Yeah. About that.
Now in his late 70s, the gregarious, acid-tongued Metrinko spent much of his decades-long Foreign Service career bouncing from one Middle East hotspot to another. Until the American withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, heβd spent much of the preceding 15 years advising American military officials there. βI think I worked with 19 different generals,β Metrinko said, βbut at this point Iβd be hard-pressed to tell you which one was the stupidest.β
how is this level of illiteracy possible? surely senior officers in the US military either know from self-education or learn from on-the-job training that ethnic identity, religious affiliation, and language fluency are different?
who thinks every Christian speaks Aramaic like Jesus did?
Entertaining tidbit from guest Dr. Khodadad Rezakhan on recent Gone Medieval podcast about Mel Gibsonβs βPassion of the Christβ correctly using Aramaic for Jesus and the gang but incorrectly using Latin for the Roman officials who would have been speaking Greek in the eastern empire.
