All my windows were blown out after an impact across the street, but other than that no serious injuries at this site. 9 dead elsewhere in the city.

It does stand out how aggressively this push has been tied in with the Saudis.
For all the complaints about “the groups,” the ADL is one of the worst examples of the phenomenon.

For decades one of the big conservative debates was to either expand a beachhead in traditional academia (Mercator Center) or build their own (Hillsdale). They went with neither and to just burn everything down instead.
William B. Fuckley@opinionhaver.bsky.social · last yr.conservatives sort of gave up on making their own institutions/intellectuals that could actually compete on the merits is a large part of what happened I think. it's a self reinforcing cycle too. your ideas and policies get dumber, you select away from smart people wanting to be part of your project
TikTok zoomers were complaining about not having the millennial college experience so we are giving them the Great Recession.
It would be nice if the collapse of the U.S. economy could somehow not effect anyone else.
My neighborhood was hit last night. The woman living in the top floor apartment was killed by the Russia drone. The building is currently being cleared out and the school immediately on the other side of the sidewalk is being used as a humanitarian point.
The Institute for Peace being that spot where the shooting war starts would at least be poetic.
Marisa Kabas@marisakabas.bsky.social · last yr.Wow. Judge Howell is worried that if she orders DOGE to leave the USIP building it could turn into an “armed standoff” over unwillingness to vacate, and points out law enforcement has shown willingness to help DOGE. Asks if we’ll need foreign mediators to come in.
I am immensely proud of this Birria. I was missing a cast iron Dutch oven from my life.
Sexpats hopped up on test and unironically using the word alpha have pretty inevitable politics.
Just me sitting here convinced that something extremely bad will happen tonight and probably not sleeping.
The campists are really getting weird with it now that the U.S. and Russia are setting up tents next to each other.
With the first crash I knew that the admin didn’t have enough time to the kind of changes necessary to suddenly have planes fall out of their air. I’m less of a skeptic now.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
Elon posting as Trump quoting Yarvin quoting Breivik using a fake Napoleon quote. Postmodernism.
The air defense troops are heroes on a normal day, and right now they are working through a snow storm with no visibility.
I think it’s me of my biggest analytic mistakes is that even as I abandoned Realism for different constructivisms, I was still skeptical with psychological explanations that described political events as the result of disordered thinking, neurosis, and insecurities. Oops. Was super wrong.
