Why should anyone wait until November?

What is the value of the opposition showing inexhaustible restraint in this case?

Even if it takes years, we have to bring EVERYONE who made this happen to justice. No moving on, no letting this go.

Revenge is good enough motivation for me personally, but the nobler and important reason is to ensure that anyone who thinks of doing this again knows they’ll rot in prison for it.

Donald Trump has demanded the unconditional surrender of Iran.

Even Nazi Germany didn't demand the unconditional surrender of France.

Amon also laid out why he was β€œbullish” on smart glasses, saying they were β€œclose to our eyes, close to our ears, close to our mouth, we’re going to have those agentic experiences and workloads.”

β€œAgentic” refers to AI applications that can carry out tasks on users’ behalf autonomously. Device makers have talked up a world where users may be able to ask their AI agents to call a cab or book a hotel.

The things users once did on their phones and laptops will shift to other devices like smart glasses, Amon said.

He likened the current state of smart glasses to the early days of smartphones when there were far fewer apps available.

Again, I think it’s an explicit shift that tech folks now openly say they want to see and hear everything you do and track you everywhere you go. Of course, they have been attempting this for a long time, but they mainly tried to hide this rather than state it as the explicit goal.

You can tell that the US blew up that school because everyone’s doing everything possible to find a way to disqualify the obvious. The country that was bragging about knowing everything it hits suddenly being quiet and wanting to move past the situation while its journalists blame the AI system? Ok.

AJ is reporting that they're hitting Iranian water infrastructure, something I'm sure the gulf states, with their big undefended desalinization plants, are thrilled to hear.

There is absolutely zero explanation for hitting targets like this unless your objective is to destroy any possibility of normal life and produce mass civilian death. Completely unjustifiable and another war crime. We saw this thirty years ago in Iraq.

We fight dirty as FUCK!

But conservatives believe our army is an unstoppable juggernaut and the only way we could have lost is by being too restrained.

Liberals believe it’s because that particular war really wasn’t fair to us when you stop and think about it.

The reality is losing is the point

One of the funniest things about the conservative idea of American war is that previously we fought too clean and moral, unwilling to fight hard enough. It’s an enduring myth.

But we drenched Vietnam in napalm and agent orange.

We used white phosphorus and torture in Iraq and Afghanistan.
