Legitimately like they're trying to lose

He's ready to try his luck on an entirely untested and unvetted medical hypothesis as remedy?

Sure. I guess it didn't work for Steve Jobs, but maybe he just didn't want it badly enough.

tritium makes your bones strong

I've heard its what plants crave.

No, see, yes they can because the F-16 is just that good.

You simply do not understand how much better our fighter jets are than Russian fighter jets. American air power could win instantly if we wanted it to. We're just choosing not to deploy it.

Crazy how you can go through multiple rounds of an interview and the "costs of employment" just never get brought up in the conversation.

Almost as though the HR process is a fucking sham and people are interviewing with a stack of MLMs in a trench coat.

Excited for a wave of "How nuclear winter could be a climate crisis game changer" Op-Eds, as mushroom clouds spring up all over Europe.

internationally Zelensky is the only charismatic Ukrainian liberals have attached to

Because he's been the one getting all the attention and praise. Modi gets the same treatment in India. Macron gets the same treatment in France. Milei has been getting big glow-ups in Argentina since he began running for office. NPR/CNN/et-al are still trying to make Navalny a thing in Russia.

They could bring in new media darlings if they wanted to. It would just take a bunch of work, running this person through the media machine a few dozen times until Americans were comfortable with them again. But then... why? What's the point? When you already have Zelensky and he's already doing literally everything you ask of him, what else do you actually need?

Now I'm reading Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson, and it's pretty dope too, but also at times as dry as the dust storms it describes. Very good hard sci-fi, which is something I do enjoy immensely.

I've been picking it up and putting it down on audio for a few weeks, and now that they're on Mars it's really got its hooks in me.

Just the descriptions of the geology is fascinating.

Working my way through "Blindsight" by Peter Watts. Fun little book about First Contact in an era when mankind's alienation from itself has reached a singularity-esque extreme.

As soon as we deliver the F-16s, its game over. We've just been pulling our punches.
