Perhaps Magyar's most important promise, and the one that certainly resonates with voters: "never again a country without consequences!"
The crowd chants: "To prison! To prison!" [with the corrupt officials of the outgoing government]
Happy Shoulda Finished The Job Day
Line art of the maps of the EU (top left, blue), China (top right, red), and the USA (bottom, gray). Superimposed on each of them is a drawn face. The USA is stabbing itself with two daggers, bleeding all over the place, its face screaming in berserker rage. Europe and China look on, concerned.
I may never know who the original artist is. but one day a cheeky historian or museum curator will be absolutely correct to use this image to capture our particular political moment.
"I thought we won the war"
These oil execs are not the brightest bulbs, are they? Sniffing too many fumes maybes.
With this settlement the US is worse off in every way than it was before the war; Iran is strengthened by the huge new tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, paid by the whole world. (1/14)
The tea in this thread is incredible. 10/10.
Oh my God. The Strategy Cheese personally wrecking relations with the Church is too funny.
Sadly, I think if anything officers are going to feel they have cover for these actions because of how explicit the civilian leadership has been about targets. They can say they were just executing missions according to the policy set by the admin.
Going to pick up Starfield now that it's out on PS5.
NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.
Can confirm I will be crying because I'll be that invested in the characters, story and emotional stakes! The woke games are the best for those!
The currently existing communist* regime in China is also very excited about LLMs with similarly unrealistic fantasies of what it will be able to accomplish.
If you're not cramming paragraphs of single space micro font jargon dense writing between the messiest info-graphics, is it even a powerpoint presentation?
I like your optimism!
This is, unfortunately, a widespread talking point in the right wing ufo media complex. And it's a growing media ecosystem.
People, let's get more creative here! Of the 8 leaders of the USSR, who wins the Soviet Hunger Games*?
Putting my bourgeois money on Brezhnev. Nasty piece of work but he could outlast the rest.
*officially titled the Soviet Tournament of Plentiful Food and Comradery.
Found ep 1 fun but similarly clunky on first warch, but the show only gets better from there, so enjoy!
Also found when I went back to rewatch episode 1 when I was near the end of the season I appreciated it a lot more - sets up plenty of pay off for later.
Already hyped for season 2 now.
Bellara and Merill would want to learn from him and try to befriend him, but it wouldn't be mutual from Solas.
Answer is E - none of them
Yeeaah, definitely not getting out of the escalation spiral anytime soon...
Please pass the bleach.
Trump does not think strategically, historically, geographically, or even rationally. He does not connect actions he takes on one day to events that occur weeks later. Allied leaders know that if they help him in the Gulf, he won't be grateful, or even remember

LET'S GOOOOOOOO
I don't think Beijing is going to go anywhere near this mess. Eat the shorter term pain from the war and double down on their leading alternative power industries. Watch the US expend power and $ for nothing. Maybe apply pressure through rare earths again if Trump threatens to cut off oil flow.
We should do what Chigurh says then.
Brutus was right
I did this for my first Inquisitor - she became Templar. The tension between her taking that path while Cullen struggles to quit lyrium was great. And just a great romance to boot.
Can't wait to watch the finale. Academy has been such an unexpected delight.
The Confederate bible*
Just renamed it to Gulf of America 2. No longer Persian, problem solved.
Can it be a failure of statecraft if they don't even know what statecraft is, let alone trying to practice it? Turns out yes it can.
