On Thursday, March 26, Iran continued its flagrant aggression by launching 39 unmanned aerial vehicles against the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Fortunately, the kingdom’s air defenses intercepted all of them.

@ChuckDeVore @steve_hanke You stole this right out of my brain. Thx cheers 🍻

Well, no. When a sovereign nation, Lebanon, cannot control its own territory and allows a terrorist militia, Hezbollah, to set up shop and launch missiles into a neighboring state, Israel, then that neighboring state has the right of self-defense. But then, I'm supposing you know that.

In an attempt to ANNEX southern Lebanon, Israel is now setting up fortifications & creating a so-called “buffer zone” between Israel & Lebanon. Israel is already ILLEGALLY occupying about 8% of Lebanon’s territory.

@ClimateAudit @jsolomonReports Exactly. Because the docs would probably show it was just unverified 'chatter'...

@jsolomonReports where are the documents?

U.S. intercepted Ukraine government messages discussing plot to route money to Biden re-election justthenews.com/government/sec…

@MarkBearor @TyphoonAir @BohuslavskaKate Ukraine got f’d by Europe/UK. And against all odds they’ve held on. Heroic.

@TyphoonAir @BohuslavskaKate Had the UK and other NATO nations placed troops inside Ukraine, this war would not have happened.

Ukraine was invaded, while Iran is your war of choice. Stop pretending nobody knows the difference.

🇬🇧🇫🇷 London and Paris will hold talks this week with military representatives from 30 countries to form a coalition to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a representative of the British Ministry of Defence told AFP. Earlier, it was reported that Tehran has started charging ships a fee for safe passage through this strategically important strait. See the latest updates with us: @visionergeo

@JonSutz @traestephens @WIRED @HuffPost @anduriltech @PalmerLuckey @wired has been dead to me for 20 years+. Along w New Yorker (def miss the cartoons) and Atlantic (taken over by fart sniffing idiots)… Yet my coffee still tastes fabulous 🤷

@traestephens @WIRED has turned into the tech-focused version of the @HuffPost sewer. It's been headed that way for a while, but it appears to have now lost any connection to actual journalism. Thank you to @anduriltech @PalmerLuckey 🇺🇸

The world is splitting between people who engage with reality to build the future and professional outrage artists spinning fantasy in the name of “accountability.” Wired has cast its lot with the latter. Wired talked to 37 people (including trying to talk to one employee's mother!) and discovered some Pultizer-winning stuff: defense manufacturing is hard, Grimm didn't like his lunch, and that we hold our people to the highest standards. Truly groundbreaking. After I suggested someone should buy them last month, this reads less like journalism and more like a petty grudge. An increasingly irrelevant tech publication put us in their burn book. Newsflash @Wired: this changes nothing about what the Pentagon needs or what our adversaries fear. What this half-reported screed can't capture (because it wouldn't know how and didn't take us up on our offers to help) is where we actually are: scaling faster than anyone in this industry, fixing problems as we find them, and building things this country hasn't built in generations. Don't like it? Don't Work at Anduril.

@CynicalPublius You lightly tapped on a peripheral entity and it was full shields up and dog-pile on you. Wow. They are weak and frightened. So dangerous a bit.

America was nearly lost to a cabal of NGOs, think tanks, foundations, specialty media organizations, compromised mainstream media organizations, quasi-governmental organizations and all other manner of other well-funded (often with taxpayer dollars) players dedicated to preserving extra-governmental controls over the average American, all outside the scope of what Americans vote for. The men and women behind these organizations claim to want to benevolently advance public policy, when in reality their singular purpose is to maintain and grow the nefarious personal power they have achieved. Above all else they must defend their fiefdoms, the good of the nation be damned. When reformers try to undo any part of this cabal, those reformers are inevitably smeared, libeled, slandered and threatened. The goal is to prevent them from engaging in that necessary reform by intimidating them into silence. Food for thought.

@MCCCANM @planefag Gonna need a few patch kits me thinks, haha

@planefag That’s a miss!

best angle we've seen yet of the fuzing. spoilers: not good enough lmao

@BecketAdams @hughhewitt Love this genre of Iran war takes. 😂

Forty-eight hours into the 96-hour Battle of Midway, and we'd have people proclaiming a decisive Japanese victory.

Honestly, I hadn't considered how poorly a war would go over with the quick-cut/TikTok generation. Total victory in 30 minutes, or your pizza's free.

@sunshinenroses7 @jayplemons @joshduhamel

Josh Duhamel to actors: Just because you have a platform doesn't mean that you get to preach to everybody. @joshduhamel "Why would you make half of your audience despise you by your political beliefs? I look at it as a business decision. I'm here just to make cool movies, cool TV, cool stuff. I'm the court jester. If I want to preach to you about what I believe politically, I'll go run for office, which I'm not going to do, by the way."

@JulieBorowski Ensign: “Engagement Farming speed, Captain?” Julie:

Trump: "We are done with endless wars." Also Trump: picks Pete Hegseth- a guy who doesn't want war to end. ????

@NitwitMN @walterkirn Me: “dear lord, please never let me get this cynical…”🙄

@walterkirn Or don’t. Turns out voting is the adult equivalent to writing a letter to Santa

I hope voters from now until this fall consider first, before all else, their own real interests & the true conditions of their families & communities. Ignore the "influencers." Ignore the social media & old media colosseum shows. Vote on what's in front of you & inside you.

@RonColeman @CynicalPublius That’s a keeper 😂

@zeroDEIUSA @CynicalPublius When Kurt hits it, he hits it.

Kurt Schlichter’s opinion today proves the Democrat party is lower than whale sh*t in more ways than one and does it with his usual dose of humor! If you want a good synopsis of today’s political theatre presented by the analogy- master look no further. You may feel terrible about being a member of the Republican Party because it’s the stupidest party in American politics until you remember that the Democrat Party exists – and no, the Libertarian Party is not actually a party; it’s the motley crew of pot-addled sophomores holding forth in the dorm suite common area at 2 a.m. of American politics. For all the failures, foibles, and follies of the inept GOP, the current Democrat Party is much, much worse off. I mean, just look at them. They’re treading water in a swamp of narcissistic mediocrity, abandoned by former allies like the working class, controlled by over-credentialed echo-chamber neurotics, and in thrall to a coalition of sexually confused neo-Marxist weirdos, losers, and mutations. You really gotta hand it to them – we couldn’t imagine a party more inept than the Republicans, but the Democrats have managed to prove us wrong. They’re coming off a disastrous last few years where they installed a human eggplant as their party leader, a president whose growing senility was built on a solid foundation of a half-century of being an idiot. This guy wrecked the economy, threw open the borders, and managed to get a bunch of Americans killed by some of the few remaining Third World savages that he hadn’t already invited into our country. Then, after four years of nonstop babbling about “Our Democracy,” the donkey politburo pulled his card following a disastrous debate where the best thing you could say about his performance was that he didn’t soil himself, at least as far as we know. They replaced him with Kamala Harris, a woman of towering unaccomplishment who was so dumb that they wouldn’t even let her talk to the fawning media until they basically had to, at which point she demonstrated why they wouldn’t let her speak to the media in the first place. She blew her most important decision, selecting her running mate, by channeling Harvey Korman and not picking Josh Shapiro. Instead, she invited Tim Walz to prance out onto the national stage, purportedly because he could attract men, proving once again that context is everything. 🧵1/5

@DrunkRepub That’s the ‘tell’ to me that it’s most likely inorganic…

It would be one thing if Republicans were all arguing with each other during a primary or something. But the fact we are doing it while controlling all 3 branches of the federal government is next level self destruction.

@DrunkRepub Performative, societal suicide

And Jacinda moved away 😂

@CyberSamuraiDev @ShivenChabria @grok is the iOS database file “KnowledgeC.db” clearable from the settings area?

You don’t remember how many times you unlocked your phone today. Your phone does. Every lock and unlock is logged with a timestamp, building a pattern of your behavior over time. This lives in a database called KnowledgeC.db No spyware. No hacking. Just your normal device. Now imagine what else it’s keeping track of.

Correction: Second humanoid robot in the White House. Biden auto-pen was first 😉

@CJHandmer Funny, Rob put this out today in WSJ. Paywall free link here

A lot of engagement here seems to underestimate hunger (for wealth, status, competition) as a motivating factor. Staying hungry and sharp is very unintuitive. I think it will help if it is clear that there are thousands of worthy problems to tackle.

What I worry about is a generation of talented experienced engineers being too rich to work.
