The reason the United States had to basically quit its incredible, iconic moon program and spend the next 40 years futzing around on a vestigial "ISS" doing high school-level science experiments is because the government had to come up with massive budget cuts to fund the mass importation and cradle-to-grave benefits of ~50 million noncitizens.

@AutisticClip He is accepting Charles Murray's view which is centered on science (with some art on the side), and leaves out ancient Greece, and southern Italy, to be fair.

@DannyDrinksWine I'm just so over of directors and actors that don't watch their own movies because they're so cool and fucking dickhead

John Carpenter on whether "Escape From New York" (1981) holds up after so many decades:
"I can’t watch it because I’m too critical of the things I’ve done. Once the movie’s cut together and I’ve seen the print, that’s it. I don’t want to look at it again. Because it’s over.
Kurt’s character, Snake Plissken, has lived in memory, and in the culture, and is extremely strong. And the cast and the acting in the movie is extremely strong. And the fun of it — the movie is just a silly adventure in the future, but it’s fun. It’s dark and fun. And that’s lived on, so I’m really proud of the film. I’m really happy about it."
(John Carpenter's interview with David Weiner, It Came From, 2021)
P.S: On this day, 45 years ago, "Escape From New York" (1981) premiered at the USA Film Festival.

Hey @Elonmusk & @xAi
Free @jakeshieldsajj from his restrictions!
Israelis constantly boast of killing ppl. They threaten to kill ppl. They are the most sociopathic ‘racists’ that exist ever.
Yet they are not restricted.

This is Dan Bongino’s alt account.
The spineless bastard is too scared to say these disgusting things on his official account so he hides behind an alt account spreading hateful shit about dead people.
Then he outs himself cause he’s an idiot.

@alon_mizrahi Israel knows that the United States will pay for whatever damage they incur multiplied by 10, so they will actually make money the more damage they receive, they're super fine with this. The goyim will build them better facilities.

There is method to their madness.
A common denominator connects all the frenzied and seemingly contradictory statements from Trump, and the Israeli recent big push, and it is a sense of urgency. They act like something must be done, and needs to change: escalate massively, or end altogether. Have a deal now. Walk away. Do something.
What is the reason for this sense of urgency? If the colonizers are winning like they claim, why do they even need to make announcements? Why the urge to issue ultimatums and try to force timetables?
Something is clearly bothering the Usraeli side. What could it be? The looming economic catastrophe surel is part of it, but I don't think they would be bothered about this so much if they felt they were winning and Iran was close to breaking.
What propels them to such extravagance is fear that the current pace is unsustainable for them, and potentially destructive. And the only immediate reason for this could be an alarmingly low supply of interceptors (the other being swindling stocks of sophisticated stand-off munitions, and the ensuing need to risk pilots and aircraft by flying over Iran).
So they try to bluff Iran into surrendering by both increasing the economic toll and destroying precious infrastructure (easily replaceable by China), and by declaring Iran has a small window to accept a deal, or else.
Only Iran has prepared for this precise point for years. Its strategy is built on fatiguing the enemy and reducing their interceptor and sophisticated munitions numbers. That point, to them, is a milestone with a clear and well-marked place in the plan.
The US and Israel's plan was to shock and overcome Iran quickly (hence the initial braggadocio), but it was never even remotely in the cards.
Now they have a war of attrition with a well-prepared, self-reliant, mostly underground enemy backed by history's most formidable manufacturing superpower, and a population that's all in on a war for survival and national dignity.
And they are panicking.

This is the 10 kilometers mark in a marathon, and the US and Israel are out of breath. Iran is running at its optimal pace for a long distance endeavor. It can increase and sprint if it needs to, or slow and cruise comfortably. It is is 100th marathon.
The US and Israel are making such a fuss because they can't keep up.
Tough luck.

On the Lebanese front, Hezbollah is now disabling close to an entire platoon of Israel's best fighters every week (and maybe double that, if we take into account psychological injuries, PTSD and trauma). And we're not even into the big invasion yet. This must be very scary for the IDF command. Again: extremely unsustainable.
