I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
The response is….comprehensive.
Now that would have been an epic You Shall Not Pass! (More Horses!)
happy 40th birthday to Highlander, one of my favorite movies of all time
Weird that protesters aren't filling the streets when the streets are being bombed and the sky is black at noon
The one good thing GWB did in his 8 rotten years in office.
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
What we see here is Donald Trump, acting as he always does, as a global chaos generator.
The further we stand away from that, the better off we will be.
Well said @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 👏

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
We need candidates who fall firmly into “looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you” overlap.
If the government gets to decide if you have them, they're not human rights.
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
These objectives... Can we see them, or are they in Canada right now?
Thought Dick Cheney was dead?
Another forever war because people can’t bring themselves to vote for women…
Obama signed a peace deal. It was working extremely well.
Trump ripped it up and started a war instead.
I've got my towel.
I've got my potato.
Nobody told me anything about needing a hat!
Wouldn’t it be wild if a former president struck a deal to avoid this very thing and your boss backed out of it because that president was Black
To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.
Stop pre-negotiating. Stop telling voters they have to sacrifice minorities and the marginalized to have a chance of winning. Stop telling voters to settle, to not ask for everything, to be reasonable. Don't be reasonable. Demand the world. The world belongs to us. They don't have more right to it.
Dr Who you say?
I'm all ears
Every agent who participated in this should spend the rest of their life in prison.
at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology
The email I sent, fwiw. I also included my hometown, just for emphasis. I cropped it out here for what I assume are obvious reasons.
This is absolute gold
Curling is like golf. You can do it, you may be bad at it but you can occasionally do a good shot and you won't die.
Figure skating seems more like flying a plane, without knowing how to fly a plane.
This is about men's curling, amirite? 😇
Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.
If you're a UK Dual National and DON'T have a British passport, beware! New, stupid rules coming in soon which means you have to have one

“Aides said [Trump] talked about Ivanka Trump’s breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that prompted Chief of Staff John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter.” —Miles Taylor, who worked for the first Trump Administration.
