US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”
US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”
US and Israel can end their hostilities, but Iran gets a vote on ending the war.
Proud of my Cato Institute colleague David Bier who stood his ground at a hearing today and talked back to bloviating Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana). David responds to the clip and furnishes receipts. @cato.org
Trump really is fast. It took the previous 4 US presidents 20 years to replace Taliban with Taliban. It took Trump just a week to replace Khamenei with Khamenei.
Always needed when shifting paradigms.

A job offering by Giant Freaking Robot to hire a freelance writer who hates Starfleet Academy to write hate articles about the show
Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.
As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.
Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

Excellent thread.
I had all the windows open today.
Electing this guy twice is really bad. But the real reason the US cannot be trusted is that it has been unable to impeach him.
Every second of free time you have ever had in your life was subsidized by the existence of the combine harvester.

A very tiny pile of snow that’s all that’s left of the several inches of snow+sleet that fell several weeks ago, which was followed by a long and strong cold snap that kept it from melting for too long.
@capitalweather.bsky.social The last of the snowcrete!
Ffs, Iran has a vote too.
If there was decent skiing in the DC area I’d get to the slopes sometime.
He was ‘t running for office.

It’s too easy to go to war
Bad ending: people start using llms to generate insane incomprehensible excel macros that somehow still output what they need
Did my first half century since November and my legs hurt.
(3/X) But it's very striking denialism. We are living through a world historical self-own, and we should admit it.
“We won every battle.”
”That is true, it is also irrelevant.”
Crocuses blooming on otherwise bare ground. The snow just melted last week.
It's March and, whatever else is going on in the world, the crocuses out back are in bloom.

As a former soldier I kind of like the idea of going after the people who actually give the orders.
Does make it difficult to find someone to negotiate with though.
When privately owned data centres constitute Mission Vital Infrastructure, they become targets and militaries will have to protect it somehow
In other words, do you use your scarce air defence for data centres, force protection, or protecting your own population?
There’s also this.

It’s a decent theory though.
