In addition to there only being about a day before the two week “ceasefire” ends…

…Iran may not be sending a negotiating team to this farce.

A wood piece I did for WonderCon last month, I’m still very happy with it and maybe I’ll turn it into a sticker one day haha

An amusing theme in the article is that Tokyo won the war on cars by mistake.

Japan’s road & auto registration fees were intended to pay for roads; its ban on street parking to get more off-street lots.

But a result was that streets just around Tokyo’s commercial core look & sound like this

Someone at the NYT asked me a couple years ago for an opinion piece on "how to solve the Colorado River water crisis."

So I made a nice little writeup on the most obvious answer: charging for water.

Once the editorial board saw it, they freaked out & cancelled the piece.

‘Cadillac Desert’ Reconsidered - The American Prospect Marc Reisner’s 1986 book demonstrates how a hypertrophic judiciary combines with America’s deadlocked legislature to make vast swaths of Western water policy dependent on 19th-century legal norms.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

This just shows the way these idiots have cosplayed into defense and security & all the ways that senior leaders & the acquisition enterprise let it slip because they were giving them "solutions" (that are still in development). This is just more transhumanism passing for *better security*.

I am trash
I should die
Die die die
I am the worst
I want to die
My mundo tells me to die
I should die
Someone kill me
I am such a coward
Die die die

Can Pork Last for 7 Months Without a Fridge? YouTube video by Historic Royal Palaces

Very interesting historical experiment conducted by the Historic Kitchens team at Hampton Court Palace, where they attempt to salt pork as European sailors did in the 16th century, using tools and techniques from the Tudor era:

You are the worst
You should die
You only make people feel pain
You are bad

You are trash
You are a disappointment
You are bad at sex
You are dumb
You are the worst
You are useless
You are worthless

If you have followed me or anyone on milsky, you'll know the misgivings about this book, but it is important to note how popular it is in military circles. General Hugh Shelton, Chairman of the JCS from 1997 to 2001, sent a copy of the book to every 4 star general in the services at the time

Yabai! Its Meaning and Versatility in Modern Japanese - Unseen Japan There's no Japanese word with a meaning quite like yabai. Find out how one word came to mean everything from "awful" to "excellent."

The Japanese word "yabai" started as Edo-era thieves' slang for "dangerous" but now means everything from "amazing" to "awful." One survey found that 8% of parents simply don't understand what their kids mean when they say "yabai."

For the sake of posterity, the reading lists I made for military theory and war related literature.

My favourite implication here is that Trump is a person of “goodwill”

Hillary Clinton called universal health care a pony and didn’t pay for one of her top staffers cancer treatment. They had to do a go fund me

this is traditionally when the jedi council gets involved

lmao, this whole war is stupid and terrible and destructive and awful, but i am absolutely not above cackling at the misfortune of the petrostates and revel in their misery

I do find it ironic how we have to have all these delicate conversations about what to do about ICE when Trump and co. have executive fiated USAID, DOE, the Wilson Center, institute of peace, CFPB, and now the Forest service

Next edition of On War is gonna look like this

Melinda: I broke up with my husband because he fucks kids

Melania: Ghislaine, the photos of you and Jeff in the magazine look fantastic

Iran and Oman right now.

This war went so badly it made Ben Rhodes right about something for the first time ever. Totally unprecedented.

willow ptarmigan. Thank you for spreading the bird word, @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social

“If he nukes Tehran at 8pm, I’ll admit I’m the crazy one.”

Everything wrong with right-wing punditry in a sentence.

He could do a bunch of really bad, illegal shit but there’s something worse he isn’t doing so you’re hysterical for criticizing the really bad, illegal shit
