Washington post story, with post to Twitter of: βThe Pentagon burned through $5.6 billion worth of munitions in the first two days of its Iran assault, according to U.S. officials, alarming some on Capitol Hill over how quickly the military has depleted scarce supplies of America's most advanced weaponry.β
Congresspeople; perpetually alarmed or concerned. Never enough to take action π€¦π»ββοΈ

Schrodingers war. Simultaneously very complete and just beginning.
Fine for a thought experiment. Not ok for actual war π€¦π»ββοΈ
Not a serious person in this administration π³
βThe war is very completeβ and βconsidering taking over the Strait of Hormuzβ canβt be in the same sentence, if the speaker has a functioning brain π«
51 here; this hits so hard. There was such optimism. It seemed the manifestation of βin America if you are smart and work hard, anyone can succeed, no matter your backgroundβ

WTFβ¦π³.
Serious βold man yells at cloudβ energy here on the WaPo op-ed page. Of all the things wrong with our world in 2026, pretty certain itβs not the 5 minutes of peace someone gets from their latte π€¦π»ββοΈ
This despite the transient myocarditis seen with initial series now no longer observed, and them not being a young man π€¦π»ββοΈ.
The trust in public health is splintered.
Someone peripherally in my life currently has COVID because despite being older and vulnerable, they avoid COVID vaccination and specifically cite Dr Robert Malone (RFK Jr ACIP flunky) warning that βyoung men have been harmed.β
Itβs weird when shame and grifting makes someone resign. Not used to that anymore π€·π»ββοΈ
Iβm a little worried that the head of strategy at a large bank believed that affordability and reducing inflation was a focus, despite tariffs being the signature element of the administrationπ³π³π³

Iβm not familiar with the UCSF medical school; not all schools grant tenure to all their medical school faculty. I went through the promotion process at my school and donβt have tenure, respite full professor status. Depends on the track here.
He was (and is) so bad. Blocked me (and countless others) for pushing back on him in early COVID days. A stain on UCSF that apparently they want back for some reason π€·π»ββοΈ
Wasnβt a big deal if I recall. Didnβt scar a generation, change the course of government, etc. Canβt wait π¬
Youβd never know it watching Rubio, but it is easy to have principles regarding relationships.
You see someone do horrible things? Call it out. Say βthat was disgustingβ (Rubio managed that part)
The part he canβt handle: donβt ever associate with that person again. Very easy. Not for Marco π€·π»ββοΈ
Donald Trump posting:β short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for USA, and world, safety and peace. Only fools would think differently! President DJTβ
