Politics? What are your major issues? (JK)

The ways in which warfare has changed are also much different because we are limiting how Ukraine can fight with our tools. Politics are keeping them from taking the war really into Russia. Why is that? Nuclear weapons scare everyone. Were those around in the Great War? Oh, also...the information war in which Twitter was manipulated by Putin.

A+

some of the push back from Sweden was smart. I think Turkey wants concessions from Sweden and they pushed Sweden too far. Turkey just needs to recognize that they get nothing from Sweden if they play too hard. That's my happy spin. My sad spin is that Turkey is insane and doesn't care for any deal because they just hate the Kurds that much.

almost guaranteeing that Harbaugh leaves, I donated to the Valiant "one more year fund". I bought a Saturn and Oldsmobile and killed both car companies. My purchase of a Lincoln car ended the production of Lincoln cars. I purchased the last gasoline sedan Cadillac will make. For now both car brands still exist but I assume both are on borrowed time. I got heavily invested in minidiscs and that format died. I'm basically, death for certain products. So, I apologize for the mayhem my donation will cause.

Saw some tweets this morning about Turkey balking at Sweden NATO membership. Not great.

Seeing Mitch Albom weighing in on the Lions gave me the "run in the other direction" vibe. The minute you get to the cab-drivers-giving-you-stock-advice stage of economy, get out of the market. Mitch, for all his feelgoodery is...not really plugged in.

You would think World Galaxy Brain Elon aka Space Karen would have a thought on the other ways war has changed.

Sheesh

I can see it's power. From the perspective of those weaponizing it: its code for all the frustrations that the average person has with penalties they may face for free speech if their free speech is undesirable.

Like for example, TFG?

nice

Like they did on Cawthorn. I actually think they did use it on Gaetz...its just the Panhandle is so faccacta that they voted for him anyway.

all so these fuckers can cut the back straps on Ukrainian defense.

For an internet escort, Boebert sure has had an outsized historical impact.

I wonder if one of these guys might take a flagpole or some bear spray to ... oh wait

This is getting fun

Looks like Big Loser Kev might punch Gaetz out.

Wait, the is-it-a-nothing-burger debate is actually over a . . . burger?! Wow...

Skynet is the is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life. Also Longboardfun.

Sure looks like it. The Singularity is at hand. I would stock up on ammo, hydro and food. Forget the guns, we can capture those from the robots.

Its a concept in psychiatric field which is something like Breastplate of Righteouness (that's not correct, that's a biblical term) but the idea being that the person who perceives the vulnerability to public shaming because of the different, amoral (as perceived by the social group) inclinations can defend against approbation by being the most holy of the holy warriors. the too perfect teeth are a dead giveaway too.
