Quite glad to see the full unclassified summary made available for judgement. It's always going to be very hard to talk about pit aging at unclassified, but transparency is important and I far prefer everyone in the discourse to have the same unclass sheet of music rather than relying on secondhand.

Romer is saying this because she knows that her real views about what ought to happen to the innocents of Ukraine are far too extreme and too ugly for a podcast.

Mamdani now wants to use thermal energy to cool and heat subway stations and city buildings. This would apparently involve capturing heat in “boreholes” 500-600 feet underground and installing a system of circulating pumps. Very nerdy. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-eye...

This is a very difficult one to discuss in public but I think people need to be careful about tea leaf reading too hard on the JASON summaries. The most obvious first: if the report *did* identify an imminent concern w/reliability of the deployed stockpile, that alone would be a TS statement.

QT rather than a reply not to dunk, but because multi comment replies get buried. This is a strategic goal shared by, among others, Barack Obama & his team. It is not on its face a bad goal. But if you pursue it you will be seized by the same problem Obama was. And it is a nuclear problem.

Yeah that's what I mean by a longer-term drawdown. I wouldn't expect us to be gone by the end of either term, but set the expectation that that's what we're doing, and not because we want to punish Europe.

Has there perhaps been some event taking place in the last 12 years which might be important for understanding why Europe is militarizing?

Katja Diehl@katjadiehl.bsky.social · last mo.

The study shows militarisation is a bad economic deal: higher military spending leaves Europe less prosperous, with fewer jobs and lower-quality development. Spending instead on environment, education, and health would boost output and employment more. www.greenpeace.org/static/plane...

The Pod Save bros had such a low opinion of humanity compared to their own big brain selves that they figured they could just hack the electorate with aesthetics and that was it and they’d dine out on consultant fees forever.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

None of this is true. There were very real national security concerns. The military didn't decide to ban TikTok from official government devices because they didn't like what kids were saying about Israel on there. This is a nonsense narrative that has somehow become BlueSky gospel.

Mike Masnick@masnick.com · last mo.

Reminded that Trump was the one who originally wanted to ban TikTok after kids on TikTok reserved a bunch of fake seats for a rally, leaving an empty stadium. And then the Democrats handed him the ban (because they were upset that kids were saying mean things about Israel) for Trump to "save."

The abolitionist signer of the Declaration of Independence Benjamin Rush said in 1787 that the war was over but the Revolution was not. That the war was only the first act of the great drama of perfecting a new government and preparing its citizens' "principles, morals and manners" for self-rule.
