Ukrainian officer 'Alex' on the role of artillery on a drone-infested battlefield:
"Artillery is having a really hard time right now.
The work of the artillery is really not enviable right now, because both our and the enemy's "guns" are now priority targets. Moreover, the enemy's artillery has almost disappeared from our sight, even their MLRS are now more often caught in the field of view of our drones (at least in Donetsk region).
Right now, if a gun remains undetected for more than a few days during active operation, it's already a decent achievement. After all, in addition to the development of reconnaissance means, enemy FPV drones are constantly flying in patrol mode, and if they detect a target, they will bring endless swarms of drones with them.
The radius of artillery operation has significantly decreased (the enemy uses KABs as artillery, so it's a bit easier for them), and the resupply of ammunition and relocation of positions have become much more difficult. So the artillery is really going through tough times right now.
Despite everything, this weapon remains relevant and is actively used in the destruction of enemy firing positions, concentration points, and landing strips."

@Lib_Development The government should make you specifically eat vegetables

I do not understand why normal people find a seatbelt laws so reasonable. Like do you want the government to make me eat vegetables too? What’s going on here
Basil🧡@LinkofSunshine
Probably my most insane opinion is seat belt laws (for adults) is bad

@willmenaker @enforcelawsNYC If there's anything I know about New Yorkers it's that they don't have a subway or public transit system, and they love to own cars!
English
I find it quite funny how some of the “New New Yorkers” want to be known as New Yorkers but hate how we travel (cars are awesome), how the NYPD made this city livable for them but they detest them, & they embrace socialism which is as anti-New York and anti-American as they come.

@north0fnorth stop telling people good things about jersey. let them think its an "armpit". WERE FULL!
English
arguably the best statewide public transit system besides maybe massachusetts which is wild considering how the pop culture image of the state is essentially it being one giant suburb

Say something nice about New Jersey.

@LCLChicago1966 @Osinttechnical why do you talk like a webcomic from 2006

Here's what mystifies me. The F-18 Super Hornet Growler variant is in such high demand right now because of its mission specific design. Because of their hunter/killer ability on missile systems, anti-aircraft systems, and so on, there isn't enough of them to meet the demand for what's going on right now in our military involvements. So my question is this, what in Zeus's butthole are two Growlers doing in an airshow when they are drastically needed on the other side of the world saving US lives?!? They are in such high demand right now that they are the most wanted asset that we currently have. So again I ask, what in the world are they doing performing in an airshow??? And now, because of this stupidity, we're down two Growlers! See, people need to be held accountable for this nonsense and either go to jail or lose their jobs/ranks.

@cornerspaeti I’m not 100% convinced that Gunther isn’t an unusually avant-garde GRU psyop
English
Supposedly our episode on Gunther almost ended his relationship with his then fiancee. Our only regret as a podcast is that "almost"

@biglimes @CantEverDie Name one way in which anything they've done in the last 15 years has enriched your life? Are you better off? Safer? Happier?
I can name one: Google Maps.

Nothing in this video is replicable. The white boy, the malls, whimsy, absurdist music videos, the 90s, all gone forever. This America no longer exists.

@dwallacewells can you say more about why you’re positive about Waymo on balance
English
I’m positive about Waymo on balance and don’t disagree that tech journalists has grown more critical over the last decade. But let’s not straw man everything.

@gayest_tone @Grey_Athena hey, worked at Missionary Ridge (not in Virginia but still)
English
@Grey_Athena Virginia Civil War battlefields are awesome because you just get to see Union generals make comically stupid mistakes, including my favorite - sending troops to charge up hills at entrenched enemies
English
@WideAsleepNima NPR used pretty much the same phrasing today too
English
The New York Times is now describing Iran's very normal acts of self-defense - shooting down American jets that are BOMBING THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY - as an "escalation from Iran's leadership."
Completely unhinged to publish stuff like this.

@WilliamHogeland No one ever saw it but “We Don’t Live Here Anymore” based on the novella of the same name by Andre Dubus

For years it's been Name one good movie adapted from a good book.
English
It's a banal fact that many, many good movies have been adapted from weak novels and few good movies have been adapted from good novels.
Jane Altoids@staticbluebat
Trying to think of books where the film adaptation is considered vastly superior in quality. An odd one would probably be The Bridges of Madison County which consistently is picked as one of Clint's best directed films but the novel is usually considered mediocre at best

@baseballcrank Dan how did you ever have a legal career with this insane degree of poor self-discipline
English
My dad's not here to defend himself, but this was not his view. He grew up during WW2 & had very old-school ideas about loyalty, & his view of Ian Smith was heavily animated by Smith having flown with the RAF against the Nazis in Britain's hour of need.
Note that Reagan in 1978 wasn't arguing for restoring white-run Rhodesia but for keeping Mugabe from overturning the new multiracial government along racial lines, which he did with tragic consequences.
Jeet Heer@HeerJeet
My favorite bit of Baseball Crank lore is that his father Baseball Crank Sr. was a big fan of White Nationalist Rhodesia, something that BC Jr. once touted with pride.

@PoliTectonic @leonidragozin “highly controversial Russian leader” is a bit redundant
English
@leonidragozin It’s already clear that Vladimir #Putin will go down in history as a highly controversial Russian leader.
Over a quarter century, his naivety and deep-seated insecurities led to war
Harsh at home, yet weak on the international stage
His weakness could well have led to nuclear war
English
The US-led West has tested Putin’s sanity multiple times by crossing his red lines whereby another Russian leader would have been reaching out for nukes. He didn’t.
The logic behind the idea that Russia is keen on attacking NATO countries for the reason of inherent aggressiveness is messed up. But attempts to blockade Russian ports in the Baltics or further escalation with the shadow fleet will one day lead to a direct open conflict for sure which is when the global impact of Iran war will seem like a joke.
What Grynkewych is doing here is marketing the conflict with Russia on behalf of its beneficiaries.
Tymofiy Mylovanov@Mylovanov
Grynkewich: In Ukraine today, Russia has well over 500,000 troops. Should the war in Ukraine end, we will have to monitor Russian behavior. When 500,000 battle-hardened Russian troops are repositioned to other areas, it will be a potential military threat to the alliance. 3/
