in the interests of education it's worth stating clearly that modern professional military education as we know it didn't really start to become a thing until the interwar years in the US and Commonwealth and so """war planning""" was basically something to keep officers occupied+pseudo-PME

Defense Scheme One and the corresponding War Plan Red in the US were both the product of staff officers sitting around having to come up with a plan to fight someone.

With a little contrast boosting and rotating I was able to pick out and match some features on the left two pictures in this set. They appear to show Kamo'oalewa from slightly different angles. Not sure yet how the other two fit into this...

On the left, two photos of asteroid Kamo'oalewa with contrast boosted for enhanced detail. On the right, the same two images with dark spots highlighted in different colors.

Tianwen-2 reached Kamo'oalewa nearly two months ago, but there have been no further updates since the encounter. Fortunately additional images released by CNSA from the spacecraft in early July have been uncovered. Hopefully, more news from the mission will be coming soon. #Tianwen-2 #Asteroid

It tells you everything you need to know that depraved Israeli settlers—absolutely working on behalf of the state despite claims to the contrary—are happy to viciously assault a Palestinian woman directly in front of (and through) a NBC news crew. Every Palestinian is understood as fair game.

Palestinian woman and NBC News team attacked by masked Israeli settlers in West Bank The woman and crew were treated for injuries. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he condemned the violence committed “by a handful of rioters.”

So, obviously, this site has a lot of thoughts about MC. I have some too. But it's worth recognizing, if you're a Talarico supporter, that this is genuinely helpful and much more than the bare minimum.

Mark Cuban: I believe in James Talarico. I believe very strongly that character is destiny. And that when people are tested — when it hits the fan, that's when real character emerges. James is truly ethical. You can believe in him, you can trust him.

In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record: The Resistance Libs Were Right.

I would make the case that opposing USAID's existence on (purportedly) left-wing ideological grounds is a position that necessitates viewing the lives of people in developing nations as more of a number on a spreadsheet than the creation of USAID does.

Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 20h ago

So sure, USAID was a tool of US soft power and political influence, and also, I sometimes get the sense that people saying this don’t quite comprehend the torrent of death, horror, and pain that is currently unfolding from the genuinely evil decision to suddenly destroy it.
