@POTUSPress @Mikel_Jollett @realDonaldTrump We could do even better by deporting Trump supporters and replacing them with immigrants.

The 'best' part about this is that this outcome is worse than the JCPOA deal we had a decade ago
A $200 billion war to achieve less than we had before. Congratulations, America, for electing a guy who repeated every US strategic mistake since Vietnam

WSJ GIFT LINK: Trump might end the war without trying to forcibly open Hormuz. It stinks, but this is likely the least bad choice in a situation of all bad options. Ending the U.S. war is a necessary condition, but possibly not a sufficient one, for Iran reopening the strait. I get that it feels irresponsible for the U.S. to simply leave after creating a mess. It’s maddening, but might be for the best. Hear me out. Trump created a global public bad by attacking Iran and prompting the regime to close the strait. It was a colossal mistake that has caused pain in the U.S. and beyond. But cutting U.S. losses in a failed war makes more sense than continued fighting for a lost cause. And if the U.S. keeps fighting, no doubt Iran will continue to threaten the strait. If the U.S. quits the war, that would increase the political pressure on Iran to reopen the strait now that hostilities are over. Iran may try to extract “tolls” and if the Tehran Tollbooth persists after the war, it will be a lasting reminder of U.S. policy failure. But the tolls themselves aren’t that high — $2 million on a VLCC carrying 2 million barrels is just a $1/barrel surcharge, amounting to a 1% tax. Not great, but better than what oil prices are doing now. It would also incentivize Iran to keep traffic moving securely through Hormuz by monetizing safe transit. Yes I know it rewards bad behavior and morally it stinks for an odious regime to profit, but that’s the reality that Trump’s blunderous war has bestowed on us all. There’s a reason most of us don’t worry about Egypt (today) closing Suez or Panama closing its canal — the profit motive is powerful. Overall if Trump ends the war (which he should) with the Tollbooth intact, we are all worse off than we were on February 27, but better off than where we are now, and better than where we could be if the war stretches on for months or years. I know it’s not a satisfying ending but it’s pragmatic and we don’t live in the best of all possible worlds. There is one problem, though: Israel. Trump will almost certainly need to restrain Israel from continuing its war for Iran to reopen the strait. It should be a no-brainer: Israel is the junior partner and Trump should have the leverage to make them stop, given how much military aid the U.S. gives to Israel. But it’s not clear Trump will use it. @defpriorities wsj.com/world/middle-e…

@Jason “If only the guy who bankrupted the money printing factory would make good decisions” is a pretty stupid hope.

My lord… so many avoidable downdrafts 🤦 have scuttled this administration.
If President Trump could just stay focused on the America First, America Only plan he would be 10 points higher than when he started.

Trump's approval rating just fell below 40 percent in our tracking for the first time. And his net approval rating is now -17.4, also a new low and down about 5 points over the past several weeks.

Zelenskyy: Iran shot down our plane. Killed our passengers. Didn't admit it. Then the full-scale war, they handed Shaheds to Russia, killing our civilians
I asked them to stop. They promised no more than one batch and carried on lying. I think of them as accomplices of Russia 2/
English
@NickRicci5 @WarMonitor3 If Zelenskyy left office he would immediately be replaced by a president that hates Russia more.

@WarMonitor3 Zelenskyy an Putin are both rats that only care about myself, young men are dying so both of them can stay in power

@ecaudillo @ATRightMovies I wouldn’t say it was rejected by the public, it was just way too expensive to make. It brought in similar box office to their preceding releases.
English
@ATRightMovies And it flopped so hard, it nearly bankrupted the company. This was a 1950s audience for all the naysayers saying saying this was how animated films should be. Yeah, it was rejected by the public.
English
Disney’s SLEEPING BEAUTY was so ambitious its hand‑painted backgrounds and animation took almost a decade, making it one of the most painstakingly crafted films ever made.
English
@GrazielleS22 @ATRightMovies This movie bombed on release and is literally the reason they stopped making movies like this.
English
@ATRightMovies It’s sad that Disney no longer makes movies like these. Back then, even the sound effects were created by real people, carefully simulating each sound themselves.
English
@raekiez__ The Disney one is Silly Symphonies. Merrie Melodies and Looney Tunes were both WB and as you say, riffing on the Disney one.
English
@GwynBizzy I am specifically annoyed by the looney tunes/looney toons one because its very obviously trying to be a play on Disney's cartoons at the time, which were called merry melodies lol. It makes sense why people thought it was toons, but it always having been tunes is easily proven

@Syzzix Your mind is not a camera. Your memory is stories you tell yourself. They get less and less accurate over time, because you’re essentially playing Telephone with yourself and removing or adding details.

@GwynBizzy Almost all of them are people getting stuff wrong but the Froot of the Loom one fucks with me very hard because how does everyone have such a specific shared memory of a cornucopia, not “this is spelled differently than you thought at age 3”

@MAFvRichthofen @franzsherbert Naming a number here was fine because the original intent of the scene was that Han is a big talker and unreliable source of information.
English
My favorite example of this is in like Star Wars novels when someone asks what the bounty or price for something is and it just says "He named a figure." And then it's like "Powrb raised an eyebrow. 'That's quite a sum. How do I know you're reliable?'"

@jameslineky @axiochrono It’s fine when Han says it because the intention is to convey he’s kind of full of shit.
English
@axiochrono Horrible advice lol. 99.9% of people don’t start doing math when a character rattles off numbers. Han Solo’s “less than 12 parsecs” line was technically an error but it works because it sounds cool. Don’t write to accommodate “your most autistic critic”

This is unironically the single greatest piece of writing advice I've ever seen.
Fawn@fawnofstars
@axiochrono it's always best to leave your writing just vague enough. otherwise you're just shackling yoursellf down and painting yourself into a corner. my favorite example of this rule is never use actual numbers when you could be saying "a few" or "many".

Turns out Zelenskyy has so many cards, he can open a shop.

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ. The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles. Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough. The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost. And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one. Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.” The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption. The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
