The AI money machine is diving into the fight for Congress.
A Super PAC funded by AI industry leaders is targeting pro-regulation candidate Alex Bores β and building a strategy that other politicians will have to contend with.
"unusual" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. What it is is good old fashioned state censorship and the criminalisation of Palestinian existence in every part of public life. Also, it as almost nothing to do with antisemitism and everything with Germany's narcissistic memory culture.
"A U.S. diplomat who was in the embassy when McGurk arrived found his steady advance astonishing. βBrett only meets people who speak English. β¦ There are like four people in the government who speak English. And somehow heβs now the person who should decide the fate of Iraq? How did this happen?β"
Airwars, a non-profit group tracking civilian harm in conflict, found that the initial days of the U.S.-Israeli campaign in Iran hit significantly more targets per day than any campaign in recent decades. The targets also map heavily onto the highest populated areas. airwars.org/record-pace-...
Thereβs this feeling that if gay Palestinians are murdered for the immutable characteristic of being gay then thatβs reprehensible, but if theyβre murdered go the immutable characteristic of being Palestinian thatβs fine
You know things are bad when I have more support to lead the US than Pahlavi does to lead Iran
mfw this guy was THE middle east dude for the USG for like 20 years and he still has no idea how the Islamic Republic works
Sorry, "winding down", not over. Don't want to overstate his prognosis.
The only thing that's really different in 2026 is that the government makes meme videos now. Other than that, it's all the same assholes from 25 years ago.
Basically, if they have some secondary backup, or can even continue to weaponise drones to block Hormuz while keeping regime functional, I'm not sure the war is over in any real way.
None of this is to knock Mike's analysis, I appreciate it, just not clear what it means for war to be over.
That said, it's unclear if the Iranian missile stocks are that low, and whether they can manage anything of a supply (very hard, even without a war where you have lost air superiority).
More importantly, what happens as missiles run out? I'd guess the Iranian regime had some plans, maybe not?
This is an interesting, and strong, hypothesis, and I'll circle back to it in 72 hours.
Much of Iranian comms I'm going to dismiss as bluster (natural, and even necessary/correct in a war), and the US military is still far more capable than most imagine.
Coffee, straight out of my nose.
PSA, donβt be that guy who draws Dunkleosteus wrong
Sisyphus is on duty
"Al-Marri and others have pointed out that US military bases in the Gulf, long presented as guarantors of security, have revealed themselves as liabilities. They have made Gulf territories a target in a confrontation they did not initiate."
This Hollywood group β linked to the Israeli government and supported by individuals in the Epstein Files, including a Russian oligarch and Casey Wasserman β is leading a smear campaign against a film about a 5-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces, to stop it from getting an Oscar:
A young boy sits at a small table, eating from a bowl with a spoon. There is a potted plant on the table next to him. The room has a simple decor.
6 March 1939 | A Dutch Jewish boy, Willem Philip van Naarden, was born in Amsterdam.
In March 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber after selection.

Hardly anyone in the mainstream national conversation is prepared to state the basic reality, which is that the world is run by microdick clinically sub-cognitive narcissist madmen who are going to get us all killed. Instead, they project a sense of tactical and political meaning onto what is, basically, the bloodlust of a screaming child.

Netanyahu shaking hands with Putin
It's amazing to me that there are still people who think they can be pro-Ukraine and pro-Israel at the same time. This is from Netanyahu's 2019 campaign, 5 years after Russia annexed Crimea. Keep on deluding yourselves that you can be moral on one cause and immoral on another.
Not sure how diverting oil shipping to the Red Sea is supposed to help. We do remember that the Houthis shut that down easily for a long time and could do it again, right?

Lipstadt is also a very good case study on how liberal antisemitism scholars have become radicalised and completely unhinged in their rabid support for Israel at all cost, over the last decade and a half.
~ 25% world seaborne oil trade, transits the Strait β 80% destined for Asia.

Good on you! And glad the DA was sensible.
I was arrested at home by NYPD detectives and charged under a stalking law for sending faxes to New York City's chamber of commerce
It's not precisely about race with the wealthy Gulf Arab states, to paraphrase somebody, for them there are two types of people: them, and the people they pay to do their work (and suffer the consequences).
