I don't need most things to make sense, but society things should perhaps somewhat make sense and that's why every school and government anything being closed tomorrow due to icepocalypse while every business says "uhh idk get your ass to work not our problem" is rather annoying
Quite literally the entire way you and likely most people in your society define this entire region is rooted in the strategic imperative for the dominant imperial power to keep these sea lanes open and this fucker just closed them thinking bombing Tehran would be a three-hour tour
oh man I need to rewatch that
okay so which companies get patriot batteries

there's also a dog I haven't met yet, which is perhaps a sheepadoodle
that just doesn't seem fair, how am I ever going to contest a rent increase? the cuteness is destabilizing
systemically and on principle, landlords bad
in my personal very fortunate experience mostly alright and this one is pushing the line of actually rather cool
new landlord has been painting downstairs and there's a shared entryway door she was trying to keep her siberian kitten from escaping out of when I got home tonight

If you're not shocked by the fraction of city space taken up by car parking, you're not paying attention.
I was significantly happier not being able to decipher it
I, having some vague idea of the history of US military misadventures, object to the notion that these current people are uniquely stupid
this conflict is stupid, wrong, and infuriating
in terms of spending taxpayer dollars by moving lots of stuff around and expending ordinance, CENTCOM always has a perfect plan: it never accomplishes the goal but the same people keep making money
too real 🤝
even the US cannot make sure no mines have been laid, meaning everyone has to assume the straight is mined and if you send a LNG carrier through it you might end up with an explosion equivalent to a low-yield nuclear weapon
ooh fill me in anytime! hope it works out!
the gumming up is not complicated and Iran clearly said they would do it: mines, lots and lots of mines
want a catch? the US does not have any minesweepers
montreal (usually but not always)
coming to us tomorrow morning! stay safe too
at this point not only do I actively avoid anything that says protein on it I find it a harbinger of doom
Operation Epic Fury [I slide one foot out from under me and fall on my ass. It's not clear what kind of move I was trying to do]
they'd have to put guided missile destroyers physically between iran and oil tankers, mine sweepers in front of them, and they're saying nah no thanks
laziest most powerful navy
I've read about a lot of incidents and still hate thinking about that one
it's amazing how many people lived
Thinking about the late Dr. Lindon Barrett, writing about value as force and form…the deeply word-defying awfulness of imperialist war where the discourse on value always hides the lives whose killing it depends upon
Remember the mystery a few weeks ago, about how and why xAI was spitting out people's government names, even people who have only *ever* used a pseudonym professionally?
the military that utterly failed in afghanistan is not going to "win" in iran
if you don't get the ways in which Iran has the upper hand here idk what to tell you
Recently, Ta-Nehisi Coates said, “Well, they’re killing people in the streets. I don’t like to say I told you so, but I saw this coming years ago, and they said I was being too alarmist. But it’s consistent with what the United States is as a country.“
