@3xcalibaneur "This is not really that insane"

It was insane that for a solid four years, there was an entire subsection of the White woman population who was genuinely erotically enthralled with the guy investigating Trump’s Russia connections. Mueller’s death closes a very embarrassing chapter of this country’s history.

@ripplebrain Ultimately longer term strategic aims take precedence over propagandistic victories in actual warfare, something the Israelis should've ultimately known well too

As for why the Iranians haven't shut it down completely yet, I think this is possible, but it'll require a lot of missiles and drones. The IRGC has a certain number of missiles they can launch per day, and Ben Gurion isn't the most important target right now: x.com/ripplebrain/st…

Already posted this in another thread but here's a very interesting Ynet article describing how Ben Gurion is still in a state of (severely disrupted) operation despite regular drone, rocket, and missile attacks on it from Iran and Hezbollah. Here are the changes they've made: - 80 aircraft were immediately evacuated from the airport at the start of hostilities - Ynet's tour began with an immediate descent into a shelter within the airport due to a real air alert, which happens multiple times a day - Specialized vehicles constantly clear the runways of debris - Check-in and screening for passengers has been moved to locations in close proximity to air raid shelters - Only one cafe and one duty shop is open, all other shops and restaurants in the airport are closed - Only one commercial concourse is open - Commercial aircraft only stay at Ben Gurion for the minimum window required to land, pick up passengers, and depart - Each time there's an air alert, any plane preparing for takeoff returns to the terminal so the passengers can run to a shelter. If there's not enough time, the passengers evacuate the plane through emergency exits and lie flat on the runway while covering their heads until the alert is over - Only 2,300 people (including staff) are allowed in the airport at any given time, so evacuating all of them to shelters is possible - Only 100 passengers are allowed on a plane - Only two flights are allowed per hour - ATC is fully integrated with the IAF to allow US and Israeli military planes to conduct operations, which take priority, - Planes regularly have to circle the airport or turn back entirely due to air alerts - No foreign airlines are operating out of the airport - New bomb shelters are being continuously added in the hopes of expanding capacity for passengers ynetnews.com/travel/article…

@JohnWakefieId I was a The Great Society Youth :(

The broad vibe of electing Ronald Reagan in 1980 was to "Repeal the Great Society, keep the New Deal" and then he pretty much just kept both after some trimming around the edges

@TheLastKebab Happy birthday!

@SomeSomething22 A beautiful birthday gift for me 🎂

Don't laugh, stock indices only do this when they're very distressed!

"Global supply chains are less resilient than one might think? I didn't know that. You're telling me of this right now; not like we had a global pandemic which resulted in more than expected large supply side inflation six years ago"

Anyone who works in supply chain logistics, is this good for the economy?

@SomeSomething22 International capital phantasmically being blocked from passing the strait of Hormuz

As we all know "International Capital" is this phantasmic substance which moves out of its own volition and by which states are merely mysteriously puppeteered by it through magic (dialectics). "Independence of state and non-state actors"? Come on now.

@ripplebrain @JucheRespecter Refinement Culture means states don't go through dozens of symbolic jumps and hoops before strategic responses anymore, they just respond to fire by fire. Much to think about.
