@fredsoda Kyle MacLachlan is a great actor, but I think Timmy managed to outflank him twice here: first as playing an innocent youth, and then as the semi-possessed warrior (though I do really like Kyle in stentorian mode at the end)

i felt this way about chalamet in dune 1
dune 2 made me realize why they cast him in the first place
he grew on me as paul atreides and as an actor in general
roon@tszzl
the dune movies were doomed from the start to be good and not great due to the casting of chalamet as paul. he does not have the gravitas for a child-god and is much better suited for kind of silly coming of age movies

it’s pretty sick to be living in “interesting times” (read: mom I’m scarred and I want to go home)

@fredsoda This wasn't the first time Iran offered to give up their stockpile
English
as expected, the Omani foreign minister and mediator of the Iran deal was telling the truth
i don’t think it’s sunk in to Americans that Trump was offered the best deal possible by the Iranians, one that’s better materially better than Obama’s JCPOA
we went to war for no reason

BOMBSHELL: Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva. The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway. The US didn't want peace, they wanted war.

@Weapon_XReject that’s not the point
the point is Iran (whether in good faith or cunning) gave Trump a deal that any other sane US president would have taken
the fact that Trump chose to bomb them instead gives Iran the moral high ground in the eyes of the world (ex-US/West)

@fredsoda I don't think there was as little daylight between the positions as implied by reporting around the end of this last rd of talks.
Go back and read news in the lead-up, there wasn't going to be a deal no matter what Oman said/says.

If the last one was named “The Great” Depression, what’s this one going to be called?

At top schools you can usually see a pretty clear split: Asian kids whose parents worked in big-name companies, and Asian kids whose parents ran takeout spots or laundromats in small towns. They didn’t really mix socially, and tbh the second group was usually a lot less striver-ish
English
Chinese kids who grew up in the Midwest/South didn’t really face that much discrimination when applying to top schools — that was reserved for the Bay Area/NYC striver kids

The famous SFFA case treated Indians and East Asians as a single group. This masked significant heterogeneity: It's way harder to get in if you're Indian! In Columbia's internal admissions database (h/t @cremieuxrecueil), East Asian applicants had a 41% lower odds of admission than equally qualified White applicants, whereas South Asian applicants had 63% lower odds.

@fredsoda I stopped doom pilling last night and got myself into planning mode instead.

the only silver lining is that the actual Iran war itself comes to an end because the US runs out of ammunition

Rheinmetall CEO confirms my reporting. All stockpiles in Europe, the Mideast, and US are basically empty. Cannibalization of INDOPACOM Arsenal, which began a little bit last week, will begin in earnest. It will take years, if ever, to recover. Moscow and Beijing know this.
