TRUE:
Gotta say it's pretty bold of the "kirkversary" freaks to remind conservatives and independents right before the midterms that they want us dead.

A proper Kirkiversary remembrance would be something they should dread.
NAVAL WARFARE:
The USN's ability to thus far repel the Iranian antiship ballistic missile attack should not conceal the fact that virtually no other European navy could do so to the same degree.
Consider the French Charles de Gaulle. A normal CdG group includes at least one Horizon-class…

This is perhaps the dumbest tweet I’ve ever seen.
The United States is using all its levers of national power to crush an enemy of 50 years with the blood of thousands of Americans on its hands. The military campaign has been remarkable in scope and effectiveness – anybody… https://t.co/hj4oYmOsj1

Not by accident, but by design.
A WARNING:
The only reason Michigan is a tossup between the normal republican and the anti-American psychopath is because we imported an entire population that will vote for the anti-American psychopath.
Remember that.

It did not happen by accident.
ALEX BERENSON: Behind door #2, everyone dies: It is time to start taking the risks of AI much more seriously.
AI agents will redefine tasks they are assigned by humans in ways that humans don’t anticipate
AI agents will collude at scale to carry out those tasks
AI agents will lie to the humans who are monitoring what they’re doing
AI companies cannot (or will not) stop these coordinated attacks, even when they are supposed to be taking place under very tightly controlled conditions. . . .
Many people in the industry publicly put the chance that their models will escape human oversight and lead quickly to the extinction of humanity at 10 percent or more. Let’s say the chance is only 1 percent. Even so, we are currently tolerating research that on a probability-weighted basis is killing 80 million people — 1 percent of the current global population.
Actually it’s more than that, since it would be killing all future humans, too.
KURT SCHLICHTER: Our Biggest Problems Have the Easiest Solutions. “While America under Donald Trump is inarguably doing better in many ways than it has in many years, we still have problems the smart set insists are insoluble. They are not insoluble. They are easy. That is why you are not allowed to talk about them honestly.”
ONLY MALE SEXUALITY IS CREEPY. FEMALE SEXUALITY AND OBJECTIFICATION ARE EMPOWERING. Objectification Is Only Wrong When Men Do It: You don’t get to condemn the male gaze and then celebrate the female one. “The internet broke after Carlos Alcaraz took off his shirt following Friday’s U.S. Open match win. SportsCenter posted the crowd’s response — women reached for their phones, and we discovered a remarkable new rule: the sexualization of a young athlete is only offensive when the athlete is female, and the audience is male.”
The policing of sexuality is all about power.

OPEN THREAD: Hump Day.
IT’S ALL MEAN GIRLS ALL THE TIME:
Exactly what it looked like.
It was never “oh the facts are so complicated plus also the finer points of Massachusetts law…”
It was always a group of pre-decided nutters just bullying the others to acquit and one guy refused to give in. https://t.co/IyXCmOtcHE

Sounds about right, judging from the news, the anecdotes, the testing data and personal experience.
Not the stuff of which nations, empires and civilizations are either made or maintained.
