NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

doing this without attaching it to a war powers vote is political malpractice

That Iranian Navy ship we torpedoed had no ammunition on board because that was a requirement to participate in the MILAN 2026 exercise (organized by the Indian Navy).
The US Navy knew this because IT ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE EXERCISE. What a national embarrassment.

Kind of humiliating to realize that I recognize every fragment of media in this turd. I think it was the moment I recognized Beerus, God of Destruction, I realized how cooked I was... Gonna need to watch some silly holiday romance movies now, as a cleanse.
There are two kinds of target indicators in those maps: the diamond and a radial "bloom". I'm curious if the bloom is an indicator of wide-area carpet bombing.
Yeah, but in the context of targeting... all it's going to do is invent new facts or riff on any details you offer. Predictive anything is about seeing a well-trod landscape and offering a plausible path. It might pick up some tricks if it's trained on decades of (unverified!) analyst output...
I think the problem for some users is that they equate "AI" with "superintelligence". It can suggest things, in the same way that consulting a Magic 8-Ball or throwing darts can.
Putting this white nationalist in a turban and adding an 80s era racist jibe, what are you even doing.
Put me in, coach, my nickname is a six hundred word rant about our sex offender president.
Please don't spam the same image over and over again.
See new posts Conversation Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi These are graves being dug for more than 160 innocent young girls who were killed in the US-Israeli bombing of a primary school. Their bodies were torn to shreds. This is how "rescue" promised by Mr. Trump looks in reality. From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood.
🔴 New image shows rows of freshly dug graves after US-Israeli school strike on girls’ school in Iran
Iran's For. Min. Abbas Araghchi shared an aerial photo showing long rows of freshly dug graves, saying they are for more than 160 girls killed in the US–Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.
Let's see...
1) Hope we can make Iran a failed state.
2) It will be hard work to make Iran fail and kill millions.
3) Something something oil
4) Don't let the war (which is good!) distract you from Trump (who is bad!)
This fucking guy. Only Congress can declare war, so we must impeach. Simple.
The president has taken the power to declare war, amid a sea of other corrupt and illegal acts.
Put your name on articles of impeachment.
The lesson, again, is that nuclear proliferation works. We're not bombing North Korea.
Just spitballing here, but maybe France should give Iran a nuclear weapon so that America and Israel will stop killing Iranian civilians.

It's good to treat people like Musk and Altman as serial bullshit artists, rather than genius masterminds. When Musk says we'll go to Mars or have 1 million robotaxis by 2020, or when Altman says AI can cure cancer... well, shut up and do it. Stop believing vaporware, and stop buying the PR con.
I can't wait until they get to show the board how the new ED-209 project is coming along...
The Case for Overthrowing Bret Stephens
They're building concentration camps where people are going to die, and to help contextualize it they have consulted with ... not a historian or an immigration advocate.
They got (FTFNYT) one of the absolute dopes who voted to kill millions of people (USAID, to start), without realizing it.
And if you’re wondering “Why is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.
I feel like "journalists" and "the owners of mass media" are two very different questions.
"Reined in". How do you rein in an agency that routinely ignores court orders? It's not with a tepid law that they will also ignore. Repeal their charter, delete ICE and DHS.
Are any prediction markets advertising on NYT?
The attached story makes the argument.
A testimonial with real "he wears human clothes over his human skin" energy.
Schumer: ball’s in your court
Republicans: stab the ball, tear it apart, set it on fire, rip up the court and sell the turf to Bahrain
Schumer: hey you guys are out of balls
Republicans: we’re gonna kill your families
Schumer: ok we’ll pass funding for new balls but you’ve GOT to read the rules
Dang it, now docking in KSP and conjugal relations in CK3 are linked in my head, and it's going to take a lot of brain bleach to unlink them.
I really don't want to hear from any libertarians, but...
This article has the flavor of a last-minute AI-slopped book report, saying a bunch of things about libertarians without actually talking to one.
Better to round-file the whole thing.
It could happen in 2026! All that is required is that the Prophecy of the Subverted Betting Oracle be fulfilled.
