1. This is the yikesest one of these I have ever read
2. I like "timeously," which avoids the jarring adverbial usage of "timely"

If you lose the moment, you might lose a lot. So,
in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy
bad writing everywhere โ
incompetent core institutions โ
weird looking emperor dude โ
i guess weโre living through the prequels
trolleys are in most cases an inefficient form of transportation. nice to have, a slow, pleasant sunday afternoon ride. but if we are regularly having to have some guy with a lever decide whether they kill one or five people we should simply dismantle them in favor of electric buses
Good for her.
The world is a scary fucked up place, but it's nice that Canadian politics of the past year plus seems like it was specifically designed to be a Pierre Poilievre torture contraption.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
I really hope this lays to bed the idea that these guys are playing 12 dimensional chess. They're incredibly arrogant men with no vision, strategy, or understanding. It's incredibly dangerous re Iran and equally if not more dangerous in terms of what it signals to China and others.
I was on a train from Baltimore on Sunday and couldnโt help but overhear these two guys next to me, a younger major (at Space Command??) and an older guy who had been a chaplain and held other positions. The older one, at youngerโs request, was explaining the region. He called Iran โthe final boss.โ
the Forever Wars are still underused for tragicomedy, honestly, but 'Arabic interpreter gets deployed to Afghanistan' is a good starting premise
Going on a professional development field trip to a country engaged in an active genocide is certainly a choice.

As an NDPer, I am feeling discouraged and disheartened by tonight's news.
As a Pierre Poilievre hater, this continues to be so much fun.
Give him no choice but to face this colossal failure, and then all his other failures immediately after.
We didn't go to war for any reason we can articulate, we didn't plan for the most obvious Iranian countermeasures that have been predicted for half a century, and we forgot an exit strategy for if the thing dragged on more than ONE WEEK.
It was literally "Trump wants to do Venezuela everywhere."
i feel bad for the NDP. but this is incredible content.
Apparently she endorsed Avi Lewis for leader last week and appeared with him on Thursday. #cdnpoli
Profound indictment of the moral character of Congress that his colleagues do not spit on the ground wherever he walks.
I will never forget when Operation Allies Welcome kicked off and my shop got absolutely smashed with short suspense demands for Afghan culture/language/context briefs bc nobody had any. Not the Services, not units who had deployed, just a total lack of institutional knowledge management.
No reason anybody can find for any inquiry into policing in Canada.
I spent 45 minutes trying and failing to convince a full bird Colonel with multiple Afghanistan and Iraq deployments that Afghanistan is not an Arabic speaking country. I was helped in this discussion (to no avail) by two Afghan interpreters who were more polite than I was.
If I were a billionaire, a frivolous thing I would do as soon as possible is pay Lil Kim to go into the studio and replace every Diddy verse in my music collection.
This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
Fucking embarrassing.
No ambiguity there.
I want Legos!
Oh I remember the HBCU conversation.
