Nearly half of the CDC’s routinely updated databases were paused without explanation between May and October 2025. Most of the affected systems tracked vaccinations and the spread of infectious diseases. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/20...
I knew this day would come. NATO tested 10 Ukrainian drone operators against a NATO battle group consisting of a British brigade and an Estonian division. The Ukrainians overwhelmed them.
The only ones prepared for Iranian drones are the people who have been facing them for 4 years.
Say thank you.
Accounts on X are sharing an AI generated video of a U.S. aircraft carrier on fire and sinking.
When you realize the government secured Venezuelan oil before attacking Iran.
I don't know how this escaped me. I legit did not know the real words. I thought it was saying "bomb Iran."
I legit did not know the real words. I thought it was saying "bomb Iran."
The only time I've ever heard the song is in that context.

Wait. Did everyone but me know the song was saying Barbara Ann and not talking about Iran? 😲
Iran is not a Muslim country. When religion is forced on you and strips you of your rights, justifies the government killing your daughter, you are allowed to dislike it.
Iranians are secular Persians with a legacy of groundbreaking science, writing, fashion, you name it.
If you’re wondering how specific “activist groups” could mobilize before anyone knew what was happening, it’s because leadership in multiple orgs is regularly on the phone with Iranian state media.
How you feel about that differs from whether it’s true, and it is.
Reminder: My work is largely studying information manipulation in crisis. My role is helping people navigate through it without telling them what stance they should take.
That’s a different goal than lobbying or activism. Don’t mistake the absence of my opinion for evidence of what it is.
I’m aware. I’m literally Chinese.
Yea this isn’t in support of any particular position. That’s not my role. I deal with information chaos and navigating out of it.
We have to make peace with not knowing and refuse to be anyone’s pawn.
That’s how you keep your objectivity.
Anything is possible from missed targets from our side to rocket failure to planned false flag.
That’s the uncomfortable reality and we will have the instinct to find information whether it exists or not.
I won’t get into possible scenarios. I’m telling you I don’t know and no one online does either.
Be very skeptical of anything you hear and that includes from the US. What you can be sure of is everyone is in a battle to win the public. This situation with the girls school is suspicious for a number of reasons.
We don’t know what’s happening right now. No one does.
We know the regime has executing men, women, and children for weeks and not releasing bodies to families in some cases.
7/7 How this looks could become clear as soon as we see Iran's response, but that could be delayed due to targeting of the chain of command.
None of this indicates whether I support this or what I think anyone should do. It's what I think is most likely and why.
6/7 The US has overwhelming force, but political tolerance is limited. Iran has less capability but can potentially tolerate something longer because the alternative is death.
5/7 Regime-aligned actors will amplify that message via channels they've developed over the last few years.
4/7 In a very short time frame, the lack of Congressional approval will come to the surface and become a growing problem the longer this drags on. In that time, the usual suspects will push "Israel drags the US into war" and "Israel controls the US"
3/7 If we demand surrender, then US casualties become likely; if this becomes existential for the Iranian regime, it will behave accordingly. Americans have a low tolerance for loss of life, and that is all the more true when it feels remote and unconnected to daily life.
2/7 If it’s a short, defined strike with limited objectives, the side with superior military capability wins. It could be over in days.
If it becomes a prolonged fight tied to surrender or regime change, the side with greater endurance has leverage. Potential duration indefinite.
1/7 I'm just going to guess where this goes.
- Disable air defenses (whether on attack or via sabotage on the ground)
- Destroy missile launchers and weapons stockpiles
- Hit command centers and military leadership targets
This is important in light of reassurances from Altman.
- DoD has already implied OpenAI accepted a different deal.
- Altman's track record isn't good.
- The claim that someone chose OpenAI over Anthropic lol
Everyone remember this? An 11-page letter submitted by OpenAI to the White House on October 27, 2025, urged the government to deploy "grants, cost-sharing agreements, loans, or loan guarantees to expand industrial base capacity," citing the Defense Production Act.
