Is he saying that Israel does not have rules of engagement, or that Israel does not have "stupid" rules of engagement?

Either some general or Elon Musk

I guess Iran-Contra and sending Marines to Beirut counts for me.

I think the former? But anyone who saw the American revolution in the context of the Enlightenment would be very confused by this, I think.

United States invading Iran to keep it from joining NATO?

I happen to agree, though the Catholic Church does not have the best track record when it comes to scientific and technological breakthroughs.

I think the problem this op-ed is identifying is "optimism" more than "hope." Optimism is about believing things will get better. Hope is about believing in our capacity to improve things.
And even with that caveat, this sounds too much like those "problem is empathy" pieces.

If Billy Graham can lay in honor at the Capitol Rotunda, so can Jesse Jackson.

After Trump Officials Cut Food Aid to Kenya, Children Starved to Death β€œBrutal and traumatizing”: Interviews and a trove of internal documents show government officials and aid workers desperately tried to warn Trump advisers about impending disaster and death.

β€œThere was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. β€œAnd that is not forgivable.”

No state requires "beer registration" in order to purchase beer. Does Rep. Brian Steil believe we similarly shouldn't have voter registration as well? Or does he really believe that purchasing beer and voting are not actually comparable processes?

How Jon Stewart created Tucker Carlson The 2004 β€œCrossfire” spat became the blueprint for today's MAGA chaos

Good piece by @amandamarcotte.bsky.social that reminded me how Carlson's origin story parallels Donald Trump's, which was being mocked by Barack Obama at the White House Press Correspondents Dinner.
