It would be more powerful and accurate if it ended with a strike on a girl’s school.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

A one-sheet poster for "The Hunt for Red October." The colors are black and red with white type. At top left is a large three-quarter portrait image of the head of Sean Connery as Captain Marko Ramius, printed in red on a black background. Next to his left cheek, rising out of the red as though rising out of the ocean is a submarine conning tower. The tagline to the right reads, "The hunt is on." The title, top-line stars, and credits are printed in the lower third of the poster against a red background.

In answer to some queries: this is not a joke, Melania Trump actually is presiding over a UN Security Council meeting Monday, and apparently they scheduled that knowing they were going to launch an illegal war on Saturday morning

Just your friendly, wet-blanket reminder that bombing Iran might be aggression, the International Criminal Court has no jurisdiction as Iran is not a member.

Even if Iran was, the ICC cannot charge non-member state nationals with aggression.

Trump and Bibi aren't going to The Hague for this.

Iran have been attacked by a nuclear power whose military is vastly superior to theirs. They have no chance of winning & should surrender to avoid escalation that risks WW3 for us all.

Apparently that's how this works.

There is an angle but the truth is likely closer to home.

I think it's wrong to describe the World Service as "soft power". It's actually "info power". And these days that's a very hard form of power indeed.

Too many people amassing astronomic wealth fundamentally do not believe in the idea that all people are equal and deserve equal rights, and they are spending their money on those ideas. This is the story.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by β€œfree economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

"We built a browser with GPT-5.2 in #Cursor. It ran uninterrupted for one week."

So there’s only a minor problem with that Cursor announcement β€” every claim in it is a lie.

Cursor made one fatal mistake: they put the code up where other developers could see it.

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.
