The problem with Rufo is that he isn't right wing culturally. His intuitions are all leftist. He doesn't actually like right wing art.
Just don't worry about right wing art Rufo!
Andrew Egger@EggerDC
I love Cormac McCarthy but I also feel like everybody clowning on this post just has a different axe to grind with Rufo, because "just not in the mood to get pounded by unrelenting nihilism for 350 pages" is a perfectly respectable reason to go read something else

What does air superiority even mean anymore? Iran has no planes flying in their airspace. We have planes flying in their airspace.
Big Serge โฆ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ท๐บ@witte_sergei
So, between the F-35 getting hit deep in Iranian airspace and the fact that the strategic bomber group out of Britain is still slinging JASSMs, seems pretty obvious that the US doesnโt have air superiority over Iran itself, despite previous claims.

@slow___up @Ortho_Dixie @SaysSimulation Oh no, Trump took risks you didn't want him to. This is the real world. You don't get to create a custom Trump that perfectly fits your desires.
English
@qualadder @Ortho_Dixie @SaysSimulation That's a mischaracterization as well. We wanted risks. Targeting employers over illegal imm., H1B and outsourcing, waging all out war on the establishment GOP to force Congress to do their job, defying traitorous judges. He wasn't willing to take those political risks.

I use a different reality screen than many on here. As a populist account living in the middle of the Heartland, I think about the masses of people who form the RW base
The current online split is about enemy identification. Some "intellectual" accounts here are saying Israel

Jim Sharp@prowrstlngstrng
Excellent thread. Important to understand the stakes we are dealing with I oppose this war in Iran. I think the timing is bad, I rhink its high risk and it completely drowns out the wins we have domestically HOWEVER If you are using this event as your reason to break away from Trump and denounce him and MAGA than its clear that you have no interest in winning Trump risked his, and his families financial and personal safety to ascend to power and fight for a better America To flush him away is insisting that winning means nothing to you, but instead all you want is emotional validation for your pet grievances Thats why you will jump from Thomas Massie, to Marjorie Taylor Greene to Ro Khanna to whoever the next Jerry Springer style, attention whore politican is that emotionally validates you Then eventually they will fail your purity tests and you will spend months trashing them until the next one goes on a podcast and soothes you Its perfectly fine to criticize Trump, but the over the top denials of his personhood are ridiculous If Democrats win they will smash you no matter what your pet project is Grow up and start thinking about winning instead of whining

@EmeraldRobinson They arrested 30 people over the Church storming.

Looks like they're going to let Don Lemon walk.
So we're back to ZERO ARRESTS for the Trump Admin.
Scott MacFarlane@MacFarlaneNews
ALERT: Multiple sources familiar with the proceedings confirm a Minnesota federal magistrate judge refused to sign a complaint bringing charges against Don Lemon in connection with the church protest on Sunday.

@ctjlewis For most MVP style projects newbs will never hit that wall. Too many times in my career I've wanted to build a MVP but people insisted on architecting a scalable solution for an experiment with no users.
English
The main limitation is that youโll hit a complexity wall at a certain point, depending on the userโs own skill level.
Simple enough systems, that Claude will never go in circles about and need a bailout for, are always safe for him and you can go very far with those.
But thereโs always some point at which the model (or whatever bespoke agent system you imagine) gets stuck and the user lacks the skill to bail it out. That will always be a moving target but it will always exist.

Sounds like hype and bait but this is all basically true.

a piping engineer in houston shipping production software in 8 weeks with zero prior coding experience while most YC startups with 5 engineers cant ship in 12. the difference is he has 20 years of knowing exactly what the industry needs and zero time wasted on architecture debates. this is the future of vertical software - built by domain experts, powered by inference APIs, and absolutely terrifying for every generic SaaS company charging $50k/year for features a tradesman built in a weekend @toddsaunders

@Ipse_Dixit_Co @AnthonyAguero Thats not true at all. They've completed around 60 miles of wall.

@AnthonyAguero Fun fact: This administration has not completed one additional mile of physical wall yet has spent billions on contracts for the task.

This is the current state of our southern border. The illegal crossing attempts are ramping up. We are witnessing an average of 1,000 โgot awaysโ per day on the southern border. Thatโs 30,000 got ways per month. 360,000 โgot awaysโ per year, this number is based of off individuals that were caught on camera or sensors but unfortunately there was no response or the response showed up a little too late to make the apprehension. This also doesnโt include the individuals crossing through the areas that are unmanned or with out any surveillance technologies and it also doesnโt include the โgot awaysโ coming through the porous northern border. This is isnโt a political issue, this is our sovereignty and security at stake. Instead of sending billions and billions to other nations we must take care of our country first, massive man power is needed on the southern border and northern border, more technology and more wall asap! We must occupy the territory along the southern border. Our National Guard in Arizona clocks out at 5:00 pm and doesnโt come back until 6:00 am. What do you think the criminal organizations do all night???

Pornography is 10 seconds away for anyone with an internet connection. Most people carry a smartphone with internet 24/7.
It's not that easy of a battle to win on an individual level.
We can tax it. Lets just get rid of free porn. Make it slightly more difficult to access.
Uubzu v4@uubzu
Apparently childhood exposure to hard-core pornography is so universal now that we have a generation of adults who literally cannot believe it was ever any other way So in addition to being fucked in the head by their own exposure, they have no incentive to protect their own children from it because they take it for granted as some immutable fact of the universe These are the parents of your kidsโ friends

@AmericanaFan1 @BasedTorba @xenocosmography Trump has made huge progress. Deportations continue to scale up. Yet blackpillers still see only defeat on the horizon.
English
@BasedTorba @xenocosmography We have net negative migration for the first time in 50 years dude.
And a total of 10 people have died so far in the Iran war. One of the lowest casualty rates in military history.
This is so stupid.

Panicans want Trump to achieve maximalist goals without taking any risks or ever failing at anything.
English
@SaysSimulation It is precisely because I view the left as so dangerous that I am so frustrated by the administration embracing the risks of this action. It is likely to empower the left, make Trump a lame duck, and - in the worst case - poison the well of right wing populism, globally.

๐จCrews at risk in the Gulf๐จ Just heard from a crewmember on one of the 3,200 ships stuck in the Persian Gulf. A ship called the local port authority requested permission to dock as they had run out of water. They were denied permission! Multiple ships are in the same condition, with stores, food and fuel running low. Ports are overwhelmed and security is such that they are refusing permission for ships to dock. Crews cannot get off and reliefs cannot fly in. What is being done to address this matter @POTUS @SecWar @SecDuffy @DOTMARAD @IMOSecGen @IMOHQ.

Hormuz is a weapon that can only be fired once
No one should expect a quick resolution to the current crisis, but across the next decade, even the next 3-5 years, the choke point of Hormuz will be massively substituted for
The Gulf Arab states are all very rich, with high per capita GDP - the best single measure of relative state capacity - easy access to global markets, especially financial, and have the favorable backing of the US
Everyone has known about the Hormuz vulnerability for decades. The Iranians have continually hinted around closing it, but never did. Now they have, but Hormuz is a gun that cannot be reloaded.
Deterrents work only up to the point of use. Once used, they have failed. The purpose of a deterrent is to *not* be used
Many analysts have made this basic mistake. They think that Iran is now in a position of strength, having exercised its Hormuz option. But the opposite is true. A state is weakest after it has used its deterrent. The cost of that deterrence is now priced in. The worst having been done, the targets of the deterrent are now free to make other arrangements. Before, they were reluctant to do so because of the switching costs. Now, they have no choice; they will not allow themselves to be controlled in this way again
Hormuz may never reopen. But the importance of this is a depreciating asset.

@RokoMijic The issue is that if you concentrate enough anti-drone guns in one place to defend against a swarm of 100 drones its going to be hit with artillery or a missile.
Swarms have the inverse problem which is if you put them all in one place are there actually 100 valid targets?
English
@qualadder I think the only counter is AI gun systems.
A fast bullet at 900m/s can wreck a drone going at 100m/s. And that bullet costs almost nothing. But it will only work at close range.
English
Imagine a swarm of 100 of these, all with explosive payloads, attacking you from all directions and elevations at 400 km/hr.
That is the ultimate drone defense challenge and I think you need some kind of rapid fire AI controlled gun battery to succeed.
You probably have 3 seconds to shoot in total.

direct kinetic impact. a flying sword. 450km/h. updated video showing exactly that. we're also working on the explosive variant. only for authorized partners. dms are open.
