Maybe I'm a big dumb dumb, but everything else aside, if you shoot and kill the person driving a car towards you, isn't the car going to keep going towards you with no possibility of breaking or swerving? Like, that's exactly what happened after Ross shot Good.

I wrote book reviews for a while for the WSJ well over a decade ago, and Bari Weis was my editor. One of her special tricks was to try to insert a sharp rightward slant into my essays *after* it had been copy edited, as a way of slipping her viewpoint in at the last minute.

I'd argue it's not a war crime because it's not a war, it's just murder or extrajudicial killing, but in war this kind of act would indeed be "perfidy". And we should not accept the #ArmedConflict claim, there is none. #WarCrimes #IHL
Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

I have always been fascinated by this aspect of American public life. It's such a deeply violent place, cruel to so many, uncaring at best, and yet to say "fuck" publicly causes outrage. Who cares what he says? A woman is dead and she should be alive.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.
