So…

People seem to think that we’re just done now? We bombed the shit out of three nuclear sites in a country we weren’t at war with, and that’s just… it?

Oh, my sweet summer children.

Among many other things this is a proliferation nightmare. The lesson learned will be never negotiate with the United States.

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

It’s 6:04 p.m. in D.C., and we have parading. Crowd has filled in a bit at the route front, but mainly one deep along Constitution Avenue.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Somehow, the future is both going to be a dystopian techno sci-fi hellscape AND we're gonna have coal and measles and robber barons and a permanent underclass.

after the chaos of the first trump term and the pandemic and replacing joe biden as the candidate with three months to go and enduring the first six weeks of trump's second term all I can say is everyone who is still alive and functioning and fighting is one resilient motherfucker.

The goal is to terrorize federal workers into quitting. That’s it. Constant changes. Canceling work from home then closing offices. Laying off probationary employees. It’s designed to break the government. Then privatize it for profit. It’s not efficiency. It’s collapse. Only peasants will suffer.

The next things that go wrong in aviation will be because of Musk, Trump, and Doge.

The zealots of Doge and Project 2025 are out to ‘cut waste.’ They will certainly cost lives: An example from aviation.

if nothing else I hope this era finally makes clear that government is a SERVICE, not a business. everything isn't designed to make money.
I will never forgive the people who bought into the "government should be run like a business" bullshit.
