Inasmuch as the highest echelons of US leadership are still nursing grudges with Iran, those grudges have become increasingly unsustainable as everyone else in the Middle East is normalizing relations with Tehran.

Tons of said relocation is driven by retirees, and I can't imagine even the types of fixed-income folks that would relocate to Texas will swallow everything doubling in price to own the libs.

Everyone assumes that JD Vance and Erika Kirk having a affair, based on their highly-intimate public embrace, when the surest sign they're fucking is actually that Vance's boss would love nothing to more than to preside over an American Royal Wedding with a fully captive media apparatus

Truly incredible that extant NY Dem leadership are too chickenshit to engage with Mamdani directly, so they brought in the party emeritus to try strong-arming him, lmao.

Truly incredible how many F/A-18s evidently just started falling off carrier flight decks as soon as a pack of egomaniacs with zero tolerance for embarrassing combat losses started deploying them to nonpermissive operating environments

TWO separate crashes of aircraft off the NIMITZ within a period of 30 minutes. Woof.

Tweet from U.S. Pacific Fleet

South China Sea - On October 26, 2025 at approximately 2:45 p.m. local time, a U.S. Navy MH-6OR Sea Hawk helicopter, assigned to the "Battle Cats" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM)
73 went down in the waters of the South China Sea while conducting routine operations

from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68). Search and rescue assets assigned to Carrier Strike Group 11 safely recovered all three crew members.
Following the incident, separately, at 3:15 p.m., an F/ A-18F Super Hornet fighter assigned to the "Fighting Redcocks"

of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 22 also went down in the waters of the South China Sea while conducting routine operations from Nimitz. Both crew members successfully ejected and were also safely recovered by search and rescue assets assigned to Carrier Strike Group 11.

All personnel involved are safe and in stable condition.
The cause of both incidents is currently under investigation.

The Democrats were barely winning close elections when they had clear advantages in voter registration and fundraising, as well as positive net favorability--and now they have none of those.

Starting to worry that Dems' special election victories the past 10 months have been flukes.

Nitrogen narcosis is a FUCK.

I remember a diver friend of mine describing some found footage of a cave dive gone wrong, where the cameraman rapidly began exhibiting the lethargy and confusion of narcosis, and then going motionless until the camera battery gave out.

Pretty sure I'd hurl if I were to attempt any sprints right now, though.

Either way, it's a pretty brisk pace, but I overperform in that regard because I'm 6'1" with long legs.

Susan Collins winning re-election because her opponents are a dementia patient put forward by a historically-unpopular Senate Minority Leader and a Blackwater goon with Nazi tattoos is a perfect encapsulation of the Democratic Party's competence right now, actually

I realize I'm lagging the Hot Takes™ cycle, but--gotta love how everyone considered Trump's Nobel Peace Prize ambitions some huge joke, only for it to be awarded to a McKinsey consultant who wants Trump to invade her country and install her as an autocrat, who immediately dedicated the award to him
