It's really wild to me that we don't know where important ancient capital cities like Akkad, Thinis and Waššukanni were

It's going to depend a lot on how long of a leash Israel perceives it has. I'd argue there's not much difference between the current state of the West Bank and one under some degree of formal occupation, but occupation can mean a lot of different things

I mean there really is a spectrum here, and I don't think there will be a future where Hamas officials aren't prominent, but that doesn't say too much about what the government looks like on its own

We've seen little about how the organization will function in a post-war environment or what role leadership in Doha will play (to some extent October 7th was a revolt by Sinwar against that leadership). I expect it to emerge as something almost unrecognizable. Time will tell

Lots of unanswered questions remain about what Hamas is post-war. Significant amounts of leadership within Gaza have been killed and replaced, less ideologically aligned people have filled the ranks of the brigades and the brigades themselves have taken folded in once competing groups

I think the brain drain angle is probably overstated, but we do have to factor in boycotts and other economic pressure from western countries going forward. I suspect the will to impose those measures will only grow with time

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

At this point Democrats in Congress shouldn't concede an inch unless Johnson and Thune meet all their demands.

Republican rank and file members know it - majority of public are siding with Dems over healthcare and tired of giving Trump blank checks. www.axios.com/2025/10/08/m...

This thread may prove premature, but I think the analysis is basically correct

crack idea for a film: retro-style mummy movie set in the '30s that expects you to care a lot about egyptian politics in the '30s. like the mummy is fought over by wafdists and loyalists of king farouq

It is true you can't trust Israel or the US but you should probably be aware the ceasefire doesn't begin until Saturday or Sunday and Israel has a long history of intensifying bombardment until the official starting point of a ceasefire.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela.

Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless
warmongering.

It failed 48-51.

Murkowski and Paul voted yes.

Fetterman voted no.
