Here’s a quick factcheck on tomahawks, so you have it:

The only countries aside from US who have access to Tomahawks are:

Current Operators: United Kingdom (Royal Navy) and Australia (Royal Australian Navy).

Future Operators: Japan (2024) and the Netherlands (2025).

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

5/ The cascading effects that the Ukrainian counterattacks in the Oleksandrivka, Hulyaipole, and Zaporizhia directions have generated in other sectors of the front show how constrained the Russian force structure in Ukraine really is. isw.pub/UkrWar030926

It was never the rules-based international order that wouldn't allow us to kidnap leaders, invade other countries, or bomb the everloving god out of poor countries

It was that we agreed not to, because it led to very bad outcomes. And we created the rules to reflect this

The rules are not your mum

The tech press told everyone this guy was a genius for a decade plus because they didn't know what the fuck they were looking at. Although now I'm wondering if pubs specifically picked their least talented reporters to cover tech in the early days because they didn't know where else to put them

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

β€œEvery hour so many damn things in the sky! How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it! We’ve started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the rest of the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we just don’t care if they are? I’ve heard the rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? ... Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”

Midway through Fahrenheit 451, we learn that the U. S. government has launched a series of unprovoked wars against smaller countries, just because it can, while the population is so hypnotized by amusements & devices that hardly anyone knows the wars are taking place.

Today is International Women’s Day.

Over 70,000 women serve in Ukraine’s military.

Thousands fight on the front line.

Medics. Snipers. Drone pilots. Infantry.

They are not just defending Ukraine.
They are defending freedom itself.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

If Timothee Chalamet wants to make being a reverse-snob part of his deal, whatever. Be a child, you know?

But at a time when arts funding and support are so imperiled, it would be nice not to lead with your contempt for wide swaths of the arts during your campaign to have your own art recognized.

One thing that seems universally true of all fascists and the extreme right wing: they do not understand the point of art or the intent of any single piece of art. They are all fucking morons who are completely culturally illiterate. Sinead O'Connor would gouge their fucking eyes out for this.
