F/A-XX in shambles, Connie canceled, LSM/LAW stuck in perpetual torment, SM-6 production in shambles, F-35C buys at lowest rates, F/A-18E/F line being terminated, DDG(X) sent to the indeterminate future. The US Navy's century of Burkiliation is here. Arleigh-Burkes now and forever.

On FFG, we’ve left the period where there’s no consequence from a policy perspective for failed major acquisitions programs. You are burning years you can’t get back against a red threat that is only getting closer to being ready. It was a bad program but the capabilities are needed from somewhere.

This should be a major scandal. The Blaze falsely reported that a former U.S. Capitol Police officer was the Jan. 6th pipe bomber. But it wasn’t just another miss by conservative media promoting conspiracies.

Someone in US intel - at ODNI - was promoting it:

Sometimes they aren't even Han!

Sometimes it's Calla Walsh saying she has Asian friends who like the PRC's overseas police stations that are intimidating dissidents in the US
You see this constantly with commentary on the PRC where English speaking Han Chinese influencers are seen as an authoritative source on the PRC at the expense of anyone being targeted by the party-state apparatus

ok deep breath, hot take:

the problem is that SPY and AEGIS are too good and it feels stupid to roll out anything that will by definition be a stepdown in capability and ship survivability.

Honestly funny that we finally have a DoN ready to kill a program after having kept LCS alive for like an extra decade after it was VERY CLEAR it was a dead end

This single line, the thing that winds up motivating new!Kirk's entire career, has more merit than anything in the ST lol

A couple things to clear up with this thread:

First - the Pashtun people were wonderful and I wish so deeply we could have given them the future we promised. I think often of the girls we sent to school and one of the hardest parts of the Afghan withdrawal for me was thinking of them.
But the Marines asked our interpreters, "So, everyone here is gay, right?" And the interpreters shocked response was, "NO! Why would you say that?"

"Well, they all have sex with men..." and the interpreter's response was, "I've had sex with tons of men. I'm not gay."

jesus christ, is this the style standard at the BBC now? That's fucking vile, and the entire organization should be ashamed down to its bones.
It looks like that BBC page has been updated in the last few minutes, so that's no longer the last sentence. I think part of it has been moved to this paragraph in the middle of the article, and the age is no longer mentioned:

Listening has become a shibboleth for outsourcing interrogative thought to an arbitrarily decided board of experts who may have as much qualification to speak on a given issue as an actual literal infant.

This is brutal and just shoves vulnerable broke people into homelessness.
The government’s decision to halve the time limit for refugees to leave Home Office accommodation is driving people into homelessness and exploitation, according to migrant rights campaigners and homelessness charities

By me, for @theleaduk.bsky.social national.thelead.uk/p/new-asylum...
New asylum policies making homeless refugees “targets for the far right”
Labour’s abrupt return to the 28-day move-on period is pushing vulnerable people into rough sleeping and exposing them to fraud and abuse.

The problem with being a left-liberal defense YIMBY is that it's a lonely place to be.
this is basically my ideology, which is why it would get -5% of the vote in the election
Double the size of the Armed Forces too, comprehensive planning reform, easier path to citizenship *and* new planned cities.

blocking people insane about Will remains one of the most consistent ways to make this website a more pleasant user experience; he draws the maddest fuckers.
i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia
