Conventions I and II are extremely clear: if you are in a uniform and aren't wearing a protected symbol, a chaplain, or otherwise hors de combat, congrats, you are a legal target
for the bajillionth time it is entirely possible to say "yes this was bad and dumb and pointless and effectively killing people for content is evil" and also acknowledge it was not in any way shape or form a LOAC violation
This discourse is going to give me an aneurysm
Hegseth is rightfully going to prison for about a million reasons, agreed.
However, genuine question here:
…This isn’t a LOAC violation, right? I do not think sinking a military ship in international waters during wartime is something that can be prosecuted.
actually can't quite get over what a poor choice mullin is for this role, in basically every way, and not just for us — for the administration, too.
the thing about foreign policy is that the vast majority of normies don't give a shit, but when you break things, they break hard. and these are the fucking people who were in charge of making it under Bush/Trump/Obama/Biden

Rapidly rebranding all my search benchmarks as eval awareness benchmarks
I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability
Did we or did we not have a fascist government when Joe Biden was in office?
Electoralism is the minimum. We also need to jail the perpetrators of these attacks on our system, pack SCOTUS, and crush the billionaire class. We don’t get any of that without the right people in office to be pressured
so the world's energy mix looks like this. around 20%-25% of the world's oil (7%pt of total energy) and a third of the world's gas (another 7%pt) goes thru hormuz.
right now that's been zero'd out, and there's no clear path back. a sixth of the world's energy supply is just... gone.
Negative survival instinct
We were not meant to see such things
That’s a function of elections, not health PR strategy. Gotta put MAGA in jail and stop voting for them if we want that
The official position of government health services cannot be “you’re a fucking idiot for being anti vax” even if they believe it (they do). They need to be the place confused parents go for reliable info after *we* say “you’re a fucking idiot for being anti vax, look at this website”
Notably the approach being taken right now is “whatever the fuck RFK jr is doing” and it’s disastrous, so yeah I’d like to go back to the way the experts say we should do things.

Authorities say Lewandowski is in the back holding a gun to his head
French Laundry chef again scolds Bay Area town over affordable housing project
lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit

Giving ol’ Gene Prigozhin a run for his money
I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."
- they can credibly threaten the Strait as far as insurers are concerned without a whole lot the US can do to convince the insurers otherwise
- the US has no plan and has no strategic guidance besides grandpa's cottage cheese brain
- bibi does not give a fuuuuuck about oil prices
fwiw since I made a weekend prognostication a couple days ago, the WAR war (Iran credibly chucking shit in volume at MRBM and OWA range as well as SRBM range) is almost still certainly going to wind down over the next 72 hours, but that's separate from the Strait discussion
YOU ASKED FOR THIS!
Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:
top 5 all-time poster. “riding in a golf cart fatly” is outstanding
And a blanket full of cocaine
Did they survey kindergarteners
we got senators talking about nuremberg 2
DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.
I'm worried when Kristi Noem finds out she's been fired she's going to become America's first obedience school shooter.
Orwell never said this. Richard Grenier said it in the Washington Times 40+ years after Orwell died as an interpretation of his work.
Notably, Richard Grenier was a Neocon and an idiot who didn’t understand Orwell.
Fitting for Noem.
