Hangin' with my Bokobros at the Skyview and a second later lightning kills everybody but me. I took their shit and launched. That's late stage capitalism in Hyrule.

@JezCorden If you look at the historical sales data, Surface products have never been a popular or commercial success. Never.

Microsoft is rebuilding XBOX and Windows 11 while Surface collects dust.
"Xbox and Windows 11 are finally getting the leadership and fixes fans have asked for. Surface is still waiting for its turn."
I used to buy Surface devices almost exclusively ... it's painful seeing Surface go from an big innovator that even Apple wanted to copy to a total afterthought ... depressing shit.

I’m not really sure this is a good explanation.
Being standard practice doesn’t mean you are required to do it, especially given the circumstances of Iran’s regime.
U.S. in Holy See@USinHolySee
Contrary to news reports, Pope Leo has not bestowed an exclusive special honor on the Iranian Ambassador to the Holy See. This decoration is given to all accredited ambassadors to the Holy See after 2+ years of service and has been standard practice for many years. It is a personal recognition and does not imply support or opposition to any policy or country. Thirteen ambassadors were recently given this recognition. Previous U.S. ambassadors have all received the same. Finally, the decoration was not given in person by the pope.

@bonchieredstate The only way to achieve this with an air war is ordering the evacuation of a city and 72 hours later leveling it, then doing it again, and again, until capitulation. Is that something you think Americans will accept?
English
@bonchieredstate If you spend five minutes on a summary of the Iran-Iraq War you will understand the current tempo of operations will never defeat them. Declaring Tehran a military target and giving 10 million people 72 hours to evacuate before destroying the city might. Do we want to do this?

Trump on Iran’s latest proposal: “I don’t like it—TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE” Restart the clock.
English
@bonchieredstate The question is whether Trump believes he can spin surrendering the Straight of Hormuz and making Iran a regional power as a victory to his base. From his myopic perspective, that's all that matters. He will if he can, but if not then total (air) war is his only option.
English
On no planet does Iran appear closer to a deal. At least one worth anything.

U.K. warship moves toward the Strait of Hormuz as efforts increase to reopen key shipping routes. Despite Iran appearing closer to a deal, tensions with U.S. allies are expected to continue over their hesitation to support American forces.
English
@bonchieredstate President Trump's eyes being bigger than his stomach for war with Iran, time to dust off that "Mission Accomplised" banner and do a speech on the Roosevelt flight deck, I think.
English
The Iran talks have collapsed. All they are doing is repeatedly and publicly rejecting US offers while deadlines get pushed into perpetuity.
If you can open the Strait, open the Strait.
Not doing so so reads as an admission you can’t. Iran takes that as weakness.

@TVGrimReaper As long as elites like myself can enjoy our champagne and caviar while streaming prestige dramas, the hoi polloi spending their lives watching ads in between snippets of a fake mystery reality show are of no concern. *Sniff*

@bonchieredstate How many seats would $5 gas cost Republicans? The price of gas, as symbolic of affordability, is all that matters.

@EWErickson "Finishing the job" here would be something like the total war offensive used against Japan—think firebombing Tehran. It would be the destruction of all industrial capacity. It would result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. You sure Jesus is cool with that?

The President needs to get back into Iran and finish the job. If we're going to keep paying high gas prices, we might as well make it worth it. ewerickson.substack.com/p/finish-him

@ClayTravis Carl Sagan answered this question like 50 years ago in Cosmos. Yes, aliens exist, no they haven't visited. We live in the sticks of the Milky Way. No one is coming to visit Villville, Earth. No one even knows we're here.

Do you believe alien life exists and that these life forms have visited our planet before?

@neilcybart To the Street their stories appear similar, I guess, content delivery, but Spotify is the infrastructure of the recording industry. Netflix is the disruptor of the television industry. Netflix (and others) replaced it. Netflix is Gus Fring in the meme.
English
@OldManJade Yes, but as it relates to Spotify's & Netflix's changing stories?
English
Spotify shares putting in new multi-year lows. Netflix shares seemingly on their way back to their multi-year lows.
The “market” (made up of various participants) is looking at both companies through pessimistic glasses. Is that fair? Does the market have it wrong? These are questions that I tackled in my newest Inside Orchard essay.
Neil Cybart@neilcybart
My newest @InsideOrchard essay examined Netflix and Spotify. From Wall Street’s perspective, something is wrong with the companies. On a combined basis, Netflix's and Spotify's market caps have declined by nearly 40% or ~$250 billion from peak levels. Is Wall Street being fair in its pessimistic assessment? Wall Street trading behavior rarely tells the full story as the market is known to misprice business fundamentals. Taking a closer look at each company, the broader stories surrounding Netflix’s & Spotify’s businesses do seem to have entered new chapters. The essay (linked below) examines those changes and where Netflix and Spotify find themselves. insideorchard.com/essays/keep-an…

@bonchieredstate Trump should call this deal the Nothing Matters Accords.
English
So we’d be giving in just for a promise of negotiations.
And the actual starting point of said negotiations has been watered down to a relatively short pause on enrichment and maybe their stockpiles.
No mention of ballistic missiles or proxies.
Gonna be honest. It’s not great.
Open Source Intel@Osint613
MORE INFO: According to Axios, Washington and Tehran are now closer to a deal than at any point since the war begun. Key elements under discussion: • A phased rollback of both the U.S. and Iranian naval restrictions during negotiations • Gradual sanctions relief from the U.S., alongside the release of tens of billions in frozen Iranian funds • A long term freeze on Iranian uranium enrichment, reportedly between 12 and 15 years, with automatic extensions if Tehran violates the terms • Iran potentially agreeing to remove its stockpile of highly enriched uranium from the country • The White House is waiting for Iran’s formal response on several core issues within the next 48 hours

@bonchieredstate Get Republicans crushed in the midterms because you can't win the war you started or get Republicans crushed in the midterms because you can't lose the war you started. Real Sophie's choice there.
English
You open the Strait (if you can) because ships are being held hostage by Iran, and removing that leverage from the regime helps your negotiating position.
If you can’t open the Strait, then you don’t.
But there is no logic to pausing the operation to open it to pursue a “deal.”

@bonchieredstate Unless the US plans on a total war strategy similar to that against Germany and Japan during WWII, it's unlikely the resumption of hostilities at the previous tempo will force Iranian capitulation. See: Iran-Iraq War. Those fuckers can take a punch and then some.
English
This is why Trump can’t just keep sitting on this and needs to make a decision on whether to restart hostilities. The longer we wait, the worse the costs get.
Iran is not going to collapse from the blockade. It’ll inconvenience the regime, but it won’t defeat them.

1/ This is what $200 per barrel of oil would mean for US gas prices, which currently average $4.30 per gallon. It could go much higher. As one analyst says, once oil stockpiles are functionally exhausted by the end of May, "price increases become exponential rather than linear."
English
@WesleyLHuff I mean, not to put too fine a point on it, but you just described the Bible.
English
If you’re arguing that “the Septuagint” or “the Dead Sea Scrolls,” both included certain books, and on that basis we must have those books in our Bibles today, then you have a big problem. Both “the Septuagint” and “the Dead Sea Scrolls” are mini-libraries — they include documents considered both scriptural and non-scriptural in their day.
For example, the Letter of Aristeas, 3rd and 4th Maccabees, the Ascension of Isaiah, the Testament of Job, the Life of Adam and Eve, the Psalms of Solomon, and the Assumption of Moses are all part of the Septuagint collections. The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs, The Community Rule, recordings of the last words of Joseph, Judah, Levi, Naphtali, and Amram (the father of Moses) were amongst the Dead Sea Scrolls. Few (if any) of these books are considered scripture today by modern Christian or Jewish groups.
Both the Septuagint and the Dead Sea Scrolls are representative of ancient library collections — collections that contained scripture but that were not themselves wholly considered scripture. We today group them in these convenient categories with these helpful titles, but it is a misunderstanding to think of them as, or necessarily representative of, a single thing.
English
@bonchieredstate If you are going to end a war because gas prices are too high, maybe you shouldn't have started it in the first place. Either Iran is an existential threat or not.
