I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

If the attack on Venezuela and the abduction of its president were part of a "law enforcement operation," not a war, how come the U.S. still has a huge armada offshore? When cops nab a suspect, do they often set up a camp with hundreds of officers near the scene of the arrest?

The most unrealistic thing about Batman Returns (1992) is that after the Penguin is caught on tape bragging about being a villain, his citizen supporters immediately turn on him and his backers abandon him... www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yea...

There is a tongue-in-cheek unit of volume called the Hubble-barn, equal to the volume of a cylinder with cross-sectional area of one barn (100 fm^2 - about the size of a uranium nucleus) and height of one Hubble length (14.4 billion light years).
It works out to three and a half gallons.

Ok folks: what is your favorite fact that you share with people (maybe a bit too) eagerly?

Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

Pre-emptive war can seem tempting when we believe that a bold strike can be quickly followed by a new peace on more favorable terms. But in the long history of the world, great leaders’ hopes for quick decisive victories have often proved to be terribly ill-founded, as Germans found in 1914.

I shed zero tears for Iranian military personnel working at clandestine nuclear sites. None.
But if you don't think this will result in more Marines on American streets, you're naive.

For Pearl Harbor the US military was not yet at war and had not been in a large war for more than 20 years, it also had no warning communicated until too late that an attack was possible.
The Russian performance was much worse--think of Pearl Harbor happening to the US military in 1944.

The fact Ukraine shot down two really expensive Russians fighters with a cheap sea drone just proves "defense contractors want this war for their profits".
Cos what they really want is for billion dollar defense programs to be shown to be useless against cheap drones.

Serious point: This might be the most interventionist American government in my lifetime. The price of just about every good reflects the good thinking of the Commissars in Washington DC implementing their 5-year plan for National Greatness, rather than market forces.
