@malmesburyman No. It has never happened.
It eventually will though if these pilots get overconfident & fly low & let Iran keep taking shots like this

Has Iran downed a single US plane? I’m talking plane crashed, pilot forced to eject from enemy fire. Not accidents or damage. Iraq shot down several dozen of ours in the first gulf war.

An Iranian MANPADS struck the tail of an U.S. F/A-18 fighter jet over southeastern Iran earlier today, just barely missing the body of the aircraft.

@cremieuxrecueil A lot of these studies are just
1. I believe X
2. I want Y to happen
3. I'm throw some arcane "science" at it so the popsci media will pick it up & promote it
4. I'll get money, attention, AND promote my personal crusade for Y 😎

One thing that really struck me about this paper was that the authors made calls to limit social media use.
They're offering parenting advice on the basis of r(X,Y).
Correlating two random things or really doing *any* statistical analysis does not qualify you to advise parents!
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
A recent study claimed to show that social media use was hurting kids' cognitive development. But I had access to their data, so I was able to show that they were completely wrong. Are social scientists too lazy to check if their results are even true? Link below.

@RonnieAdkins He didn't see the missile
If he saw it he would have flared
He was focusing on his strafing run

"He got lucky"
Meanwhile, I learned today that it's doctrine to break into the missile. The pilot's skill saved his aircraft and probably his life over a faraway place.
Experts doing expert things.

WATCH: Iranian MANPADS hit came very close to taking out a U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet jet over Iran yesterday.

@ArtemisConsort I won the lottery & my IQ instantly went up like 100 points. Can't explain that. 🤷🏻
English
The socioeconomic theory of racial IQ differences doesn’t hold up at all. The correlation between IQ and household income is about 0.2. The average difference between Black and White household incomes is about 0.5d. Even if we assume the causality is entirely income->IQ and not the reverse, that would predict a 1.5 IQ point gap. The observed gap is 10x this. And of course, the causality is mostly in the other direction (IQ->income).
It’s a dead explanation. Even smart environmentalists/culturalists have retreated to more ephemeral explanations because they know this. Yet it’s probably the most commonly believed explanation for the gap among the public.

@thedimitri The chick complaining here is extremely mentally ill with BPD & is angry because she is 25 now & thus is too old, bitter, & damaged to get Chad attention anymore like she used to. Women like this become age gap haters for life.

@cremieuxrecueil I remember the news media constantly telling me growing up that European alcohol culture, like drinking wine, 🍷 made you healthier and live longer.
These people are just an endless confirmation bias machine.

Reminder:
When you see journalists reporting something with a title like 'How X influences Y', there will generally not be any indication that X even influences Y beyond that X is correlated with Y, and even that is rare.

I am not optimistic that @nytimes will stop confusing correlation with causation. Am I going to die soon @adamcifu? nytimes.com/2026/03/26/wel…

@Howlingmutant0 This person openly claims BPD.
Also the chicks big mad at guys dating girls 18-21 are always these 25+ Christmas cakes who aged out of getting all the attention & now they're super bitter that guys pass them over for younger girls.
This is who drives age gap discourse.

@RealDianeYap You have no evidence the person pictured is white.
The skin tone looks asian.
The "foreigners" who get the most complaints in Japan by far are CHINESE.
You know, YOUR ethnicity.

The Japanese talk about white people the way that the American right talks about black/brown people.
Hilarious. I love them so much.

@harper_pau55997 @cremieuxrecueil You're clueless & wrong, but it doesn't change anything even if you were right.
Cope, commie.
If I had my way, 100% of commies would be banished to live together so they could show us how it's done. 🤣

@Mankosmash @cremieuxrecueil Yeah capitalists outsourced the bulk of their chip manufacturing to Taiwan. Brilliant.
And they include childcare in GDP even better.

Navy F/A-18’s Close Call With An Iranian SAM Highlights Remaining Risks To Epic Fury Aviators
Even in lower-threat coastal areas, MANPADS are a real risk to lower-flying aircraft, and true air supremacy across Iran still isn't a reality.

@ArtemisConsort Face fillers are also 🏳️⚧️ coded because it looks like 🏳️⚧️ who have gotten a lot of facial surgery.
But that's when it's noticeable. Good plastic surgery isn't noticed.
English
The youthfulness paradox: treatments aimed at making you look younger are mostly used by older people, so they come to feel old-coded.
The male equivalent would be sports cars. They’re almost all driven by old guys, so they make me think of grey hair, not youthful vigor.
Blaine Anderson@datingbyblaine
PSA for the single ladies: overdoing the facial fillers gives you this age-unknown look that makes men assume you’re 40. Great if you’re over 40, not so great if you’re in your 20s 😬

@planefag It's a bad idea to go low like this even if you think it's safe. Eventually the enemy will get lucky & it's not worth it.

@sentdefender They would have done it already if they were going to.
The Houthis know they're next if they do.
This is just empty posturing.
English
According to Reuters, citing an unnamed Houthi leader, the Houthis are prepared to resume strikes against commercial and naval shipping in and around the Bab el Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea, potentially opening a second front against a second key thoroughfare of trade in the region.

@cremieuxrecueil We don't have perfect information so there could be other confounders out there we don't know about.

This is a really good lesson in how you can't just easily 'control away' confounders.
People given the exact same flu vaccine at home had a 37% lower risk of getting infected compared to people who got it in a clinic, even after a lot of different controls.

@escapefrommelos She looks life sigourney weaver
Her torso is actually very manly & not attractive
The only things attractive about her are the fake títś & huge BBL
Without those I would honestly think she's trans

can you imagine a world where filming inside a gym meant jail time

@escapefrommelos She's very ugly, but she has fake tits out & a BBL, which is enough for dudes to line up to smash.
But she's crazy & a butterface, so no dude is going to wife her.

@mercoglianos @MarineTraffic I've read that the transponders are off which is why they're not showing up in those charts

Okay, I am confused. What tankers?
@MarineTraffic does not show a fleet of tankers passing through the Strait since March 25.
JMIC also does not have those numbers in their daily report.

@Howlingmutant0 We need to genetically test everyone who acts this way, create risk profiles of people with a higher likelihood to be antisocial like this, then either abort them, or banish them from a young age.
