I wouldn't call it the same thing, a raid on a presidential residence is different than securing and holding one side of an air bridge, but we'd probably also do that better than the Russians did. Don't worry, though, give guys like Hegseth enough time and we will get more inept at tactical stuff.
russian war bloggers on telegram are very mad right now, but I suspect it's mostly because russia tried to do the exact same thing in the opening phase of the invasion (see Battle of Hostomel Airport) and failed miserably

In November, I sat with two Venezuelans who fled the country after protesting Maduro.
Trump's masked ICE agents had just taken their son.
The boy's mother told me, "In Venezuela, if they take you, you don’t come back. This left me with the same impression.”

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

Suffice it to say, this is an impeachable offense, but so was January 6, and the Republicans have danced with this Mad President to get their petty, petty small wins over Woke.

That show is a sterling argument for CanCon. Entirely makes up for Drake coming out of DeGrassi.
let me also shout out once again one of my favorite TV series of all time, Slings and Arrows, where the second season is devoted to a staging of Macbeth.

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

The split-screen here is unbelievable - first from yesterday, the others from 2017. Musk’s Twitter has truly driven us mad. People absorb far more of their beliefs from their social environment than they realize, and we’ve created an environment where being a gutter bigot is the baseline expectation

This is part of what makes US sanctions extremely effective and powerful against individuals who participate in the global banking system... and this is the type of use that will end up destroying the US's ability to do this as our erstwhile allies nations decide to stop giving us so much power.
Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?
‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life
Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

The power usage for datacenters is also a legit problem.
the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad

These small-bodied G5 teams are just not physically equipped to hold up in the trenches. That's why they should stop being allowed to ruin the playoff

This is an actual quote from the President.
“‘They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart,’ Trump said. ‘I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?’”

That is a fantastic excerpt.
Nepo Baby JGB Jr had inherited the Herald from its founder, his father, in 1872, by which time the younger man already had a reputation for being ‘flamboyant’, ‘erratic’, and enjoying ‘the good life’ – roughly translated, he was a roaring pisshead

Time for a serious conversation about handing out these participation-trophy bids like candy. Bad TV. Safety issue. I just feel so bad for Ohio State. They should have their own junior tournament
