Honestly one of the most thrilling Knicks of my lifetime when he’s rolling

Yeah. One thing about The Secret Man coming back to me now is Woodward reviewing/critiquing all the guesses that were published over the years. I was too young but sounded frequent. It feels very similar. I guess the main difference is that there probably isn't a big reveal at the end of this one.

I just feel like unless I have the identity really locked the hell down, why do it? I wonder, is this what it was like for Deepthroat guessing over the years before he was revealed?

i am shocked and appalled that anyone lives without dnd. any phone, even if it's not mine, that makes any noise must be killed immediately

as god intended

Just had this from Planet Labs, the US government have asked satellite imagery providers for "voluntarily" restrictions on access to satellite imagery. Given a lot of them provide satellite imagery to the USG we can probably guess the outcome of not acquiescing to that request.

he doesn't even blink when the metal clipper comes out, that's how you know it's real

I'm so mad

Bart is dead serious about going to itchy and scratchy land, but bart has been replaced by jonathan the tortoise

Ai detectors are notoriously shitty! I still think I can pick out some ai writing. To be clear, I’m not saying all, especially when the ai isn’t used to do most of the lifting. But if I can tell, that probably means it sucks.

Well for starters some people will tell you. It’s also pretty clear to me that there are certain cliches, structures, styles it leans on. Maybe you don’t think it’s ever possible to tell? I would say certainly not always but sometimes it’s dead obvious

White House: Reopening Strait of Hormuz Not Vital to Ending Iran War Karoline Leavitt said reopening the Strait of Hormuz was not a "core objective" of winning the Iran War for President Trump.

New: The White House is signaling that reopening the Strait of Hormuz is not a must-have to end the Iran War, potentially setting the stage for Iran to continue to flex its strategic position over one of the world's busiest oil shipping channels for the foreseeable future

Texting to it so a throwback in that sense

Trump threats, U.S. troop build-up raise specter of battle for Hormuz Israelis said securing the strait for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.

The “main goal” of the Iran War may have changed, reports Washington Post: “Israeli officials said securing the [Strait of Hormuz] for energy shipments could become the war’s main goal now that regime change and ending Iran’s ability to obtain a nuclear weapon seem out of reach.”

Joe Kent ~ @joekent16jan19 X.com After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Director of National Intelligence National Counterterrorism Center President Trump, After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, 2024, which you enacted in your first term. Until June of 2025, you understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern President how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasam Solamani and by defeating ISIS. Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again. As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved vife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation of to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for.…

Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigns over Iran war.
