Idk if I'd say the problem here is authoritarianism, rather than society wide extremism and paranoia.

Ukraine’s plan to cut off Russia’s front-line troops is working — The Telegraph Kyiv’s drone campaign base has expanded the ‘kill zone’ without sending soldiers to battle

“Refusing to throw troops into the grinder, Kyiv has taken a diff path to victory-one defined by precision, patience and technology. Now, that strategy is starting to pay off [..] The aim is simple: make it impossible for Ru forces to move forward fast enough to sustain offensive operations.”

Honestly I'm half expecting them to start charging a passage fee as a climbdown.

Is there a good consolidated writeup/depiction of this? I've seen bits and pieces but don't have time to try and search everything out.

So my (very basic) understanding is that a lot of older code languages like Assembly were more space efficient since they were less abstracted, but also harder to actually work in. Is it possible Claude will allow that kind of efficient code to make a comeback? Would it matter?

The average Cato type believes in open borders so I'm really not sure this holds up.

We can see this right now w/Russia-Ukraine. There's no conceivable way in which Russia ever recovers what they've spent even if they achieved their stated goals but that hasn't stopped them.

Like its not my district and the other major progressive seems fine but what I've seen out of Kat really isn't bad and frankly way better than I would have expected from "young influencer candidate."

For a while now I've wondering if Anton Myrer was throwing shade or praise when he had Massengale refer to Mac as a genius.

I mean "cruise missile with the flight characteristics of a Sopwith Camel" does seem qualitatively different.

"Biden rigged the 2020 election and that's good"

Letting Tucker and Fuentes control this area of the media is CATASTROPHIC for mainstream liberalism and the success of Democratic politicians.

This is like a Hollywood set of an alternate timeline That 70s Show.

Hopefully we can vote his dumb ass out at the next union election.

Its small potatoes but swapping to a worse small arm set for no reason still bugs me.

He's gonna be the fox trying to chew off its own leg stuck in the trap.

Listening to the last couple Odd Lots episodes and then peeping the market wondering if Joe and Tracy are the only ones living in the real world.

Stayed on X = dipshit heuristic stays winning.

Honestly it wouldn't take that much to convince me that Iran at this moment has more regime stability than the Trump admin.

Wild to me that he wants to relitigate this.

Man I feel bad for the Omanis and Iraqis, least offensive governments in the region who had absolutely nothing to do with this clusterfuck.

Just me listening to the Odd Lots talk about fertilizer and OMG HOLY SHIT *45%* of the world's tradable urea fertilizer and 20% of ammonia comes from blocked countries. This is going to be a disaster for food production.

Uh oh

Juan de Fuca represent/s

Yeah like if you can't win an election amongst the more friendly subset of the electorate why would I believe you cam win with the larger whole?

@iwriteok.bsky.social need to interview this guy for future Epstein episodes.

More than we had 100 years ago.
