It's the same reasoning that turned "innocent people killed because of our actions, even if they weren't our targets" into "collateral damage". It's passive voice jargonization. (In this case, "kinetic strike" sounds a lot less violent and ruthless than "blew up the little boat into bloody bits".)

This dude appears to combine the social skills of Musk, the human empathy of Zuckerberg, and the charisma of Nate Silver. Truly, the GOP is sending the best of the best.

Current right wing representations can only be heroic if you build out a fantasy narrative that there are Master Evils that only true right wing hardasses will be able to stop. Islamic terrorists in your Walmart! Litter box groomers at your school! Socialists coming to tax your 401k!

2/ So much of the housing pricing crisis is not a lack of housing but the conversion of a necessity for existence into an investment vehicle and subscription-based passive income generator. Get rid of the perverse monetization of the housing market and the pricing will ease and maybe even deflate

And yet Weiss will still expand this format for more propaganda hours, because this is expressly why the Ellisons bought CBS for. Just as Elon is willing to lose any amount of $$$ on X turning it into a Nazi-fest, this is their buy-in for Oracle to receive multi-billion dollar government contracts

Would never expect anything except propaganda from a guy bought by Peter Thiel. He’s nowr the JD Vance of political punditry, which is…not a great look or smell, but I bet it pays his bills

Unless money and the cap are an issue, it’s not even a choice. They may have 2 backups on the roster that they know internally can’t hack it yet. Vs someone they know has done it before and can likely do it now, they just hope their spine doesn’t explode on a sack they can’t avoid

3) NFL teams will not use a valuable roster spot for a guy with marginal arm strength, etc. who may be better at the learning curve because there’s no way to test for that
4) so a team will 100% take a QB that’s succeeded on the learning curve but whose physical skills are declining from age

1) the modern NFL QB learning curve is very high, but is the most important part of becoming a winning QB
2) the NFL is chock full of QBs with the physical skills they can test easily for but can’t make it on the learning curve

Part of the problem is it’s no longer *just* Russia. Putin has North Korea, Iran, China and to a lesser extent India now backing him in his war with Ukraine. There’s a lot of backers tipping the scales now in favor of Putin.

Not so ironic as it is exclusionary when you realize US Capitalism has really been “socialism for the wealthy and corporations, unforgiving invisible hand of the free market for everyone else” this entire time.
