@hidikkrole a small drone does nothing to a tank, BTW

You can get people who semi-regularly follow the Ukraine war with a better grasp of the modern battlefield than the IDF does. No ERA/nets for the tanks,no recon drones, no attempt to detect or jam enemy FPVs. Drone warfare is just not integrated into their doctrine.

Trump takes control of the Strait of Hormuz😭🤣

Resilience is great, having very highly educated parents helps too

“Highest level since operations began”.

Redditor claims Claude Code is nerfed for Pro/Max users vs Enterprise customers and the strategy is to use the paid plan users to generate hype on X and LinkedIn so companies would reach out to them.

“High quality software is infinitely available” I feel like I’ve only encountered like 8 pieces of high quality software in my entire life lol

Now this is one wild story. The amount of lawsuits coming down the pipeline with stories like this is going to be astronomical.

Prediction: Hegseth is gonna be the fall guy for the war 72% of Americans oppose a ground war, which is the only way Trump can ‘win’ this thing now. Everyone is upset about gas prices & market decline. Trump’s approval rating is 35% He’ll bomb for a few more weeks, hoping for a break. He won’t get it But his political instincts are good enough not to invade. The GOP would get hammered in November if a ground war went badly, and that would mean Congressional investigations next year When this whole mess ends in the next month or two, then come the firings

@BeingJWood How to break it to you... The ship has already sailed. The train has left the station. Elvis has left the building.

If the people of the United States continue to allow Donald Trump to wreck havoc upon the world, the world will come to hate us. And we will deserve to be hated.

@RasmusJarlov One problem with this rosy picture is the EU is looking at Israel's genocide on Palestinians and saying "this is fine". It is not fine and the rest of the world notices.

In the future, there will be three major powers in the world: China, USA, EU. Neutral countries will move as much as possible towards the EU as their preferred partner because both China and the USA treat other countries disrespectfully and try to extort them. Europe will be the only great power and market to turn to if you want to have an equal and fair relationship. Canada is already moving towards Europe for this exact reason. India and Japan will also form a closer relationship with Europe. This is what soft power means. MAGA replies in the comment section will prove the point.

@VeraMBergen Exactly what has been happening with Putin and his generals

Susie Wiles has expressed concerns that aides are giving Trump “a rose-colored view of how the war was being perceived domestically, telling Trump what he wanted to hear” and urged them to “be “more forthright with the boss” about the political and economic risks. @EricCortellessa time.com/article/2026/0… apple.news/AdQHUbJyiR_ymh… This material may be protected by copyright.

Trump surrounds himself with morons, and these people are morons because they sell their souls to the devil and don't realize that very predictably the devil will chew them and spit them out. Bongino, Bovino, Noem, now Bondi. More to come.

I understand that Viktor Orban clinging to power in Hungary is so important to Putin that he is doing everything possible to tamper in Hungary’s election, but why is it so important to Trump and Vance?

software doesn't need to be like this

@PushDemsLeft Spreading misinformation hurts the cause. Muted.

Ben Gvir is posting videos showing off the execution chamber where he will exterminate thousands of Palestinian hostages. Imagine if Hitler broadcast videos of his gas chambers to gloat like this.

ICYMI in 2025 (and previous years): Russian state TV said that in his second term, Trump would cut off aid to Ukraine, destroy relations with allies, disrupt internal workings of the U.S. government, lift Russian sanctions, and withdraw America from NATO. yahoo.com/news/putin-pal…

@lugaricano There are alternative PDF readers, for example PDF-XChange Editor

Adobe Reader has become the peak enshitified experience. Constantly pushing you to do things you don't want to do, give it permissions and download upgrades. It has become unusable. Anyone has a solution?

Maybe it is time to once again remind everybody that running a global reserve currency necessitates that you have a lot of wealthy ALLIES willing to hold your Treasury bonds and your currency. If you piss off your allies they will not in the long run hold on to these assets and you will have to pay a lot more to fund your enormous public debt.

I annotated it with appropriate paraphrases.
