Fortunately my home is not X.

I was told today by a 17-year-old that there was no way people were writing 10 page papers without Al. Dude, I was writing 10 page papers without having read the book.

I hope this is wrong, but I fear it is right. We'll find out.

Here's the amazing thing about written agreements: they are comprised of words we can all read and then form opinions about! It's really neat! So release the MOU text. Now. Don't keep it secret and then complain that people aren't trusting your version of events.

The key strategic fact of our times: With Russia, China, and Iran, there can be no "win-win solutions ", i.e., permanent agreements that allow both sides to live in peace and prosperity.

I get the impression that a lot of people, including many with advanced degrees, don’t know that if Elon Musk tried to sell all of his stock at once the value of the stock would go down. It’s like the people who think if we find a gold asteroid it’d be worth the current price of gold when brought to market.

Imagine being this ignorant.

I have no pity for Trump, but he is in a tough situation and, being a sociopath, he is taking the easy way out and hoping that he can lie his way through it with the help of his (mostly volunteer) corp of degenerate apologists who have spent a decade calling his crap ice cream.

🇺🇦🇷🇺🤡 Poutine : « Nous ne pouvons donner qu’un seul conseil à nos adversaires : ne combattez pas la Russie. Laissez-nous vivre en paix et régler tous les problèmes par des négociations. Mais il doit s’agir de négociations, pas d’ultimatums. » “Laissez-nous vivre en paix.” La phrase est presque fascinante venant de l’homme qui a envahi l’Ukraine, rasé des villes, annexé des territoires, bombardé des civils, déporté des enfants et transformé l’Europe en champ de guerre. Pour Moscou, “vivre en paix”, c’est envahir ses voisins, tuer, détruire, puis exiger que personne ne réponde. Le culot impérial russe résumé en une phrase.

The strategic reality Europeans are eager to ignore…

Why does he keep repeating this silliness? We literally marched into Germany. Soviets has to take the Reichstag. And the Japanese had to suffer two atomic bombs. There was no negotiated settlement. They both basically unconditionally surrendered ultimately.

Yes, it is evidence of Amor Immutabilis

Guys, I’m reading this letter and the author says, “God is love,” and I’m like what but I just keep reading and then like a paragraph later the author says it again, “God is love.” Do we think this repetition is evidence of AI?

I don't follow association football (soccer), but this goal is a thing of beauty on a par with the best MLB feats of fielding and and with the best NFL runs, catches, and interceptions.

The Strait of Hormuz being opened again seems to be Trump's main selling point on the Iran deal. So we're back to where we were before the war. Full circle. Why did we even go to war if our main accomplishment was already accomplished before the war.

Trump knew that Iran’s word meant nothing when Obama was in office. He still knows today. This turn of events indicates not that Trump changed his mind but that Trump simply felt it was more important to maintain the stock market back home than to put the Islamists out of business once and for all. Not all men are cut out for finishing what they started and Trump showed us that he loses interest quickly when money is on the line. This may not be the worst strategy — after all, he’s making sure our economic interests are primary. It’s simply a matter of understanding that when it comes to appreciating world security, even someone who talks a big game like Trump can’t always deliver on that concern. Thousands of Persians lost their lives this year waiting for help to arrive and it never did. I’m sorry for that. Maybe one day America will seat a President who will be able to deliver freedom from Islamic tyranny. Today simply isn’t that day.

You can tell what a censorious hellhole Musk has turned Twitter into by the number of people running around openly insulting him on the platform, decrying him as evil and demanding that his money be taken away and redistributed, who aren’t being punished in any way. 1984 stuff

If you look at the qualifications of elders in 1 Timothy and Titus, you’ll see that Paul emphasizes qualities of character. It’s important to be able to preach and teach, but it’s even more important to be an example of Christlikeness that others can imitate.

This statement by @USWPColby is sound, recalling strategic commonality as a basis for solidarity now & into the future. Pushing the UK & other NATO allies to step up in the face of common threats is right. Ill-considered and uncoordinated w/drawal of US force commitments to Europe in the face of growing Russian threats is not, however.

The deliberate inability of people to understand — on the day of SpaceX’s IPO no less — that Musk doesn’t actually have $1 trillion in cash to be grabbed by the revenuers and redistributors is kind of amazing.
