Thinking about this: even if you try to follow the actual facts on the ground wrt Iran as closely as possible, there is absolutely no point of reference or way to tell how the missile-war side of things is going. It's just, uh, shit continuing to explode with no context

kind of crazy that the US is so culturally unfamiliar with military deaths that if a *double-digit* number of their people die, in a gigantic war against a country of 92 million, they assume "wow it's that Vietnam Meat Grinder I heard about"

started doing a little comic about my vatborn ss13 gal marigold, might do more #glass:art

1979 is literally the opposite of this war - a limited border war with strictly only ground forces involved

creep across China, and then the world. I just can't fucking watch this shit again. And tbe fact that it's a slow teetering and toppling that sometimes *almost* seems like it could be fixed creates a hellish viewing experience, and I think it legitimately hurts me to watch. 2/3

I think the only viable solution is, for me, to just turn bluesky and the news off. Which I hate! I love being informed. I love learning more about how the world works, and getting to participate in informed discussions (shitposty as they may be). But this is like watching COVID slowly 1/3

Brand New Day? A comiced book. Boring. Who cares. Nobody will watch this movie. Whole New Hole? Catches viewer's attention immediately. Whose new hole? Spdider Mans? The Halk? Where is it? It could be anywhere or anyone's. People will be talking for months before they get to see it.

Making an article on the Su-34 *in 2026* that not only doesn't mention the glide bombs, but directly states it "relies on unguided bombs", is insane. Russia currently lobs more weight of glide bombs at Ukraine than it does artillery shells!

The Way Of The Gun (2000)

if this is anything like the OSINT discords I've seen the customer base here is 70% shitposting 20 somethings, 20% shitposting 20 somethings with important jobs, and 10% foreign intelligence

people are already dunking on OP but I think the really funny part is her use of "working class" here agriculture is not working class!!! Karl Marx specifically went out of his way to exclude peasants and smallholders from the proleteriat!!! subsistence agriculture is not a desirable thing!!!

SimCopter (1996)

Neither the US nor Israel nor the Iranian opposition seems to have any sort of clear and actionable demand beyond vibes or maybe total state collapse. I am not sure how that is going to entice any military figure to switch sides or even stop fighting.

"Good day sir, may I enquire to see where you are hiding the Haitian children? Please allow me to inspect the premises immediately, I am not ICE btw"

I think about her every waking moment. I want her back so bad. Please I want Sydney the good Bing to come back

NFS Unbound. At least I got my mileage out of Payback. Unbound's handling is complete ass lol

Either this is an op (LIKELY) or like, *profoundly* unhelpful, because literally all of these bullet points are completely centered around pathologically avoiding stress and conflict. It's an attempted kidnapping in broad daylight, not a triggering scene in a TV show!

but online, that friction goes away. suddenly there is a conveyer belt that radicalizes the elites by putting them in contact with the rabble, and radicalizes the rabble by making them tools of the elites

You go to war with the martyrs you have. This is now a pro-Don Lemon propaganda account and he is to be considered an unstoppable ubermensch until such time he is once again a free moron. May death come swiftly to his enemies.

On January 13, the first frozen death case in Kyiv. 84-year-old Holocaust survivor Yevgenia Bezfamilna. Parents died in Babyn Yar. The child lived. The orphanage gave her a made-up family name – Bezfamilnaya or Bezfamilna in Ukrainian. Which means “Nameless.”

Dude Forza Horizon 6 looks amazing I can't wait to drive a straight line in an empty field in Colorado, Japan

When even @noahgairn.bsky.social 's head is spinning from the news... [Follow Noah and subscribe to his free email newsletter btw. Insane level of Canadian defence reporting]

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

*gets woken up by interrupt* eeeughg...aehhgj.......gg..

Deep Leffen mentioned and no one has posted my favourite one

It's one air campaign Michael, how big *is* Iran anyway?

Thinking about the current situation in Iran and like, we're one single week into this and it might be shaping up to be going down the *exact same road* as Syria did in 2011. Insanely fucked.

YO HOLY SHIT PROTOMEN 3 IS OUT

RÜNGE RS012 1400 lbs (635 kg) & 2.3 litre four with 220 horsepower What could be cooler?

a bunch of obvious answers here but, uh YOU ARE THE THIRD MOST POPULOUS COUNTRY ON EARTH THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF YOU AND YOU'RE SCARED OF TWENTY THOUSAND GUYS?

The year is 2035. “Canadian nuclear doctrine requires that a launch order is separately confirmed by two senior officers, once in English and once in French.”

So, to be clear: the US has successfully couped a country with its own fucking government?

As a creature who believes in a basic right to national sovereignty I would like to congratulate the United States on forcing me to actively support the Chavistas winning a war

Full video shared by Twitter acct @weathermonitors. Four helicopters, including MH-47s, landing.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Assault on Precinct 13 (1976) film budget of 14 dollars that is well worth the 14 dollars

"Hey, let me get a modern era capital ship. But hold the Aegis" "Hold the Aegis?" "And hold the VLS" "Hold the VLS?" "HEY JIMMY, GET ME A FLAGSHIP WITH NUTHIN'!"

Funniest possible outcome: Trump announces invasion of Venezuela, Congress votes down the AUMF, nothing happens

Okay so like, is anyone going to ask what land Venezuela stole from the US that seems pretty important

The death toll at Srebrenica was about 8,400. At Katyn, about 22,000. At Babi Yar, about 34,000. Add those together and you've just barely cracked the low-end estimate of the death toll at El Fasher.

Thinking more on this: Human beings are just really bad at ascribing political acts to individuals, it's not a conservative thing. Even, like, Luigi Mangione fans tend to just treat him as a mold to pour their preferred ideology into.
