I'd rather be studying Etruscan artifacts, but ... politics.

God, what a horrible future we live in.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up.

Ah, yes, a Marine landing force to seize Kharg island. Plus an adjacent force to occupy the mainland coastal strip nearby to prevent direct fire. And when you’re at it, might as well seize the entire Iranian Gulf coastal strip to stop anti-shipping fires. Then mountains for heig-

@devahaz @dilanesper Who "pinky swears" to stop killing Iranian leaders?
And which Iranian leader "believes it"?
English
@dilanesper I think if we and Israel stop bombing Iran and killing all their senior people on the condition that the strait is opened, they’d prob do it
English
I really want to emphasize, I know the default anti-war position is "just stop the war" and I get that.
But you can't just magically stop the war. You have to get the straits open, and the ways to do that are an agreement (difficult to get) or a military action.
Dilan Esper@dilanesper
@AcunaAndrew Even if he admits error, how does he get the straits of hormuz open? We're still committed at this point.

@CraigAbalos @joni_askola Justice Brandeis put it well. Just swap in investors for bankers and other names for Astor)

@joni_askola Absolutely.
Society was well aware of the dangers of concentrated wealth during the gilded age as well as the Roaring Twenties.
The rich just brainwashed everybody into forgetting about it.
English
Over the last few years, American tech oligarchs have become the greatest argument against their own existence.
The sheer scale of their erratic behavior and political interference proves that extreme wealth concentration is a structural threat to society

@DamonLinker Anno Domini 2026 ... end of the Christian era.
All world powers are unified in opposition to the Beatitudes.

Most right-wing American Christians probably agree with this.

NEW: US allies do not see a realistic way of reopening the Strait of Hormuz without ending the war.
G7 countries have been discussing how they could help Trump. There are conversations about a framework for Hormuz security. The UK has sent military planners to the US for talks.
But the reality is these conversations are at a very early stage and US allies are not looking at sending naval assets until the conflict eases. US allies are yet to be convinced there is any credible military plan to reopen the strait.
The UK has been in talks with Lloyds of London about insurance products and prices when the situation calms. But even then insurance is not seen as the big issue - it is safety.
It marks a widening disconnect between the US and Europe over the war amid concerns Trump ultimately doesn’t have a plan. Meanwhile energy prices are soaring, bonds tumbling and interest rates are set to rise.

@tRumpnado2016 Trump's generation of rightoids have wanted to "nuke Iran" ever since the 1979 hostage crisis. It wasn't necessarily literal, but they figured killing the Ayatollah would make things "all better".
Having done that and only radicalized Iran, a nuke is next. God help us all.
English
It's a Trump created FUBAR.
It was a catastrophic mistake to choose to start Trump's War of Aggression Against Iran.
It was an even worse mistake to partner with Israel.

@jimstewartson Narrator: there was no bipartisan action to do anything but "fund the war".

🚨He’s floating using a nuke. There needs to be a public bipartisan agreement that if he does that he will be removed immediately.

Trump: "Some of this weaponry is unthinkable. You don't even want to know about it. Oh, you could end this thing in two seconds if you wanted to."

@AngelicaOung I guess Japan has to unlearn the concept of shame? Trump is telling Japan their only mistake was to lose.
Welcome to the global Warring States period.

Fox News mocked Prime Minister Takaichi after she silently accepted an insulting joke from Trump about Pearl Harbor: "Point taken, because the Prime Minister had no comeback for that." Pro-Trump social media users are also laughing about it.
English
@thescottbarber Ugh. I thought his Pearl Harbor reference was bad. But he went lower.
To Trump, the only thing wrong with the Empire of Japan was that it lost.

Imagine saying this next to the Japanese Prime Minister.

Elon, Andreesen, Sacks, Ackman, Chamath, Vivek, on and on, I remember when for all these guys it was critical to elect Trump because our national debt was a crisis and existential threat to the future of America only he would tackle. Don’t hear so much about that anymore.

@Silverback766 @dianarivera481 @SecWar Oh the irony. Cabinet Apprentice for Culture War Hegseth -- selected exclusively for his TV skills -- sucks at communications about actual war.
English
@dianarivera481 @SecWar He needs to shut the fuck up and stop digging a deeper hole for himself since he fails at messaging. There’s zero coherent communications strategy at DoD .

Overwhelming force” and “largest strike package yet” sound decisive, but they signal escalation.
Precision doesn’t erase consequences.
At what point does this become counterproductive, creating more instability and humanitarian risk than it solves? @SecWar
DOW Rapid Response@DOWResponse
.@SECWAR “To date, we have struck over 7,000 targets across Iran and its military infrastructure. That is not incremental. That is OVERWHELMING FORCE applied with precision. Again, today will be the LARGEST STRIKE PACKAGE YET—just like yesterday was... we are hunting, striking, delivering death and destruction from above.”

Q: Can you explain why a package this large is necessary? HEGSETH: First of all, none of this would've been possible without Midnight Hammer. Without that audacious mission with very clear goals that did obliterate their ability to enrich. We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created.

@NastyOldWomynII @RickPetree Americans collectively just can't take a rational path. A big part of the voting age population just *need* to FAFO.

@RickPetree It’s yet one more reason why I was so excited about Biden’s initiatives: a solution to climate change AND peace.
