You walk into class. You throw your jacket on your desk. The teacher says "hey, no jackets *there*, jackets belong over *here* on the hooks. Has your school banned jackets?
anthony@WebHeadAK

@NinePlusOne2 That’s what I am trying to say. It’s the literal definition of banned, which doesn’t mean to not exist. It just means to be kept away from a specific area or setting. Alcohol was once banned, did everyone stop drinking?

The key to understanding all the banned book nonsense is to realize this even applies when the book is still in the same building, eg if Hunger Games is removed from the elementary library but kept in the middle school one It's all nonsense

Probably a good time to turn out the lights for in the whole country permanently. Destroy (K-Kill) the oil export function (Kharg). Destroy the water infrastructure (dams, distribution). Relatively easy to do and it will leave a scar that will be mythic for a thousand years.

@wbridgefa When you understand the long-term existential threat. There really is no limit to the amount of force we need to use.

@83dollaroring The biggest HEAT charges ever built are carrier sinking warheads afaik. Those can be damn big, but they still wont penetrate that much dirt. Long rods work better due to larger width to length ratios attainable, plus they can use the >3-km/s sub Hydrodynamic penentration regime.

@neirenoir @mikemearls CPR is clearly the Stabilize action, meaning it's gated behind either a skill check or a cantrip 5e does not need to make death even cheaper

@mikemearls I agree, but Revivify should be infinitely more accessible. It's ridiculous that CPR is gated behind magic (third level, at it) and diamond dust.

Characters in any edition of D&D should not have access to raise dead, stone to flesh, remove curse, or any magic that allows them to counter permanent conditions. The characters should need alliances with temples, sages, alchemists, etc. and rely on them to counter such effects

@TomcatJunkie No efflux management, fewer volatiles to transport, less stress on the airframe Probably dumb for OWAs but I could see it as a divisional asset for persistent ISR

@planefag But that's the problem. If you glue pairs of DDGs together you remove operational flexibility and restrict availability Also one DDGX would've had at least 96 VLS + CPS, so this is less firepower on more hull

Will be really funny to watch all the BB(X) haters realize that it's just two DDG(X)'s in a trenchcoat with room/power overhead for a railgun system or AGS if it's not ready for prime time fast enough
Brent D. Sadler@brentdsadler

CG(X), DDG(X), Battleships Oh My! The US Navy has long needed a cruiser replacement to properly provide air/missile defense to the carrier strike group and manage an air campaign. At the same time, there is an urgent need for long range fires using hypersonic cruise missiles to dynamically/responsively suppress enemy defense and long range strike capabilities. Hint - this is the type of capability needed to forcefully reopen critical choke points like the Strait of Hormuz… Enter the Battleship. Congress isn’t saying “no” but they aren’t saying “yes” - the reality is urgent and the sooner Navy presents its shipbuilding plan for the ship the better. See the latest news here: news.usni.org/2026/06/18/sas… For a deeper read on what is needed and how to build these ships of the proposed Golden Fleet see the report: heritage.org/sites/default/…

@lymanstoneky Uh this is not the century to rely on soft and static infrastructure at the strategic level. Keeping the Shaheds off that pipe would be a nightmare

Yes I know the politics of it were awful. I did not support this war on the front end. Go see my tweets. I had a lot of trepidation and uncertainty about it and was not confident of victory. But once embarked upon we had a duty to win it, and winning it meant making Iran’s Hormuz chokepoint valueless. Three more months of blockade and we’d have discovered new all-time records in how fast you can lay pipe across a desert.

“What was the alternative to a peace deal?” The longer the blockade went on, the more the Gulf countries pursued alternative routes. The long game here is to degrade the value of Hormuz. Take Iran’s ball away. Refusing to do that gave them their leverage back for next time.
Javier Blas@JavierBlas

The @IEA reckons that UAE reached ~85% of pre-war oil exports in early June (ie, before the MoU was signed) thanks to a combination of bypass pipeline, Fujairah strategic storage and, importantly, dark SoH crossing along the Omani coastline. In early June, IEA puts UAE total oil exports (crude and condensates) at 4.3m b/d, up from 1.9m b/d in March. The chart below is IEA latest view from the Persian Gulf (June is data up to June 15th), showing the recovery, with UAE playing a key role (and obviously KSA via bypass pipeline).

If there is a category of crime where pursuit and apprehension of the suspect is too risky to accept, then the punishment for said crime should obviously be execution.
Senator Ankit Jain@senatorjain

Is this worth it to recover a stolen car? This is why DC severely restricts police pursuits. The House has passed a bill—HR 5143–that could create dozens of these kinds of incidents a year. If you live outside DC, call your Senator and tell them to vote No on HR 5143

@dilanesper And once they do, they generally have a different outlook on many, many issues than when they were children For example, from ages 5 to 17 most kids are subject to a publicly governed school they have no vote on.

2. A broad franchise is also a human right. I.e., imagine a hypothetical where I could show you with scientific accuracy that removing Jim Crow restrictions so Black people could vote resulted in harmful policies being passed. (That's not true, BTW. It's a hypothetical.)

@MorlockP If you want more people in faster, your options are: 1. Bulldoze houses and businesses for new runways 2. Bulldoze houses and businesses for new rail lines Pointless to attempt cost-benefit because both are political no-go's in NE

@MorlockP Because for the specific case of mass movement city center to city center trains *can* outperform airplanes Also, expanding capacity at old airports is extremely difficult and airspace management already a nightmare (see last year's DCA crash)

What if we built high speed rail with trains travelling at 550 mph between Boston and DC, but we did it without laying a single foot of rail, and also it already exists ?
ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs tweet media
Dylan Williams@dylanotes

We could build high speed rail with trains traveling at 200mph between Boston and DC and still have enough money leftover to double the national school lunch program with the $132 billion that just 100 days of war against Iran has cost the American people. nytimes.com/2026/06/19/us/…

This is extremely gnarly, dude doing the shooting is a former SOF guy, so probably quite a bit more competent than your average infantryman, and he cannot reliably bring the drone down The shotguns they’re handing out are basically just so commanders can say they did something
