So that's c. $6m worth of missiles fired at approximately nothing.
Or we could have spent that money on something like 2,000 basic, dumb-as-bricks 155mm shells (~$3k a piece) which the Ukrainians would have used to kill Russian invaders and preserve their freedom.

"tell me we didn't just fire a dozen $500,000 missiles at a $200 camel"
"sir, no evidence of any camel present, sir!"

I remember why I uninstalled Fire Emblem Heroes now. Having to constantly go an manage my barracks any time I summon a new character is always a pain.
I can just look at Edelgard's new art online.

I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.
Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.
Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

We occupy a very specific niche when it comes to the public discussion of history, and that niche is serious answers to the question of how bamboozled Hitler would have been by big chungus memes.

Sandfall straight up lying about not using it until they were caught and pulls out the "but we only used it a little"
Little or not, you not only still used it, but actively lied about it.
Since they were so willing to lie, why should I believe they only used it "a little" anyways?

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Okay. Time for a thread about the Accelerationist propaganda mod for Hearts of Iron 4 and why it's bad that I don't see anyone in the field really talking about how video games and the networks around them are working to radicalize young men at an alarming rate. It urgently needs to be addressed /1

Though to be clear, I support the USA being in NATO and also Ukraine being in NATO.
Freedom is stronger when shared and so the free peoples of the world must stand together against the tyrants who would bind us, both those from within and those from without.
NATO is crucial for the latter.

I don't care whether something is "good" or "bad" or whatever people wanna call it. What matters, is that the work resonates with you on a personal level.

I've said before that I'm not in a position to make demands of whatever post-Trump blue coalition emerges and I'm not.
But if I were, 'robustly fund the humanities' would be really high on the list. Make it a cultural priority, making knowing actual non-racist history a cultural status marker.
