President Trump has run into (but, I would bet, not learned) one of the most basic lessons of international politics. Compellence is much less effective, much less predictable and in general much more dangerous than deterrence.
Although I would wager he couldn’t define either of those terms.

Another way Trump is like Putin. The US has 16 of these aircraft (had). Getting into stupid wars is bad enough; being incompetent at it is worse.
OK after three weeks of 18/6 just completed my first 24h fast. Now: what to break it with? heh.
Rules for engaging me online: Do not ever, ever, ever use the words 'shocking' or 'amazed'. Ever. Not only will I ignore your content, I will curse your name and your progeny, yea unto the end of days, as worthless bottomfeeders.
DR. MANHATTAN AND OPPENHEIMER'S REVENGE!
Oh yeah, I wasn't even touching that. Space-hardening them is also not free; connectors and wafer radiation protection, much?
The only way these numbers are remotely true is if Starship achieves what are so far purely fantasy level launch rates and reliability.
Is it happening again?
Services will remain off “until ICE indicates how water and sewer to the facility will be served without exceeding the limited infrastructure capacity.”
The facility when full would effectively triple the population of the area and ICE refuses to provide the local government with impact reports.

2) The moment braking eases after landing on a long flight
3) Watching the band you waited to see walk out onto stage
"We realized we were making ourselves deeply vulnerable to a class action suit that absolutely would have wiped us out financially so we're going to find a way to do this without actual human names attached."
The Epstein money trail leads straight to 45*!
45* sent FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE (4725) wire transfers to Jeffrey Epstein.
They totaled over $1.1 billion. 😱

Yeah, the headline implies the TCs are levitating themselves. But...no.
kiiiiiinda misleading. They are 'levitating' because they're sitting on top of an acoustic levitation device, and you can hold them OR the device OR BOTH in your hand.
Loot that drops after defeating me:
- 3 random fountain pen cartridges
- 1 7rd 1911 magazine loaded with ball
- 1 random Dominican Tubo with a lighter
- 3 pocket/keychain flashlights
- 1 random cat toy
- 1 last-gen and thus useless Apple charging cable
Screenshot of an X post by the Governor Hochul Press Office (@NYGovPress) saying, “Won’t matter. His name is on the next page too.” The post quote-tweets unusual_whales (@unusual_whales), which quotes Donald Trump saying, “It is time to turn the page on the Epstein scandal.”
NY Gov. Kathy Hochul’s press office has entered the fray in the best way.
Just one more thing the miserable idiot took over, slapped his name on, and drove out of business in record time.
the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability
Get in. We're messing up Melania's Amazon search results. This weekend, Amazon is premiering it's $40 million Melania Trump documentary. It already seems to be a flop. But we're going to take it one step further by messing up Melania's Amazon search results. Specifically, we're going to amplify the paranormal erotic thriller, Melania: Devourer of Men so it ranks higher than her movie. The book is perfect: it's absurd, the cover is ridiculous, and it's free, so we're not giving Amazon any money. We need people to: 1. "buy" the book (it's free) 2. Share this post and get other people to buy the book. That's it. Then we can celebrate as an erotic novel about a bat monster Melania Trump becomes a higher and higher search result on Amazon.
Okay troublemakers, punks, antifa supervillains, and anyone who just enjoys being a petty little shitbird while they fuck up the algorithm of a massive media corp. Here's your assignment for the weekend. Get on it and spread the word.
Updates on 'The World' from both sides exhaust me. From the MAGA/right? The usual criminal insanity. From the Left? There seem to be only two modes: 1) GIVE US MONEY BECAUSE ONLY WE CAN SAVE YOU and 2) YOU MUST BE OUTRAGED WITH US. Nothing actually constructive like 'here's how to help others.'
I have suddenly become consumed by cozy fantasy and litRPG so I can absolutely relate
Cereal Killer gon' getcha
Good crowd for a suburban area on one day notice. And so many honks! Hardly anyone yelling negative stuff or giving us the finger
