I can see in every sentence a snag to trigger the though terminating cliches of a westerner brought up since the cradle on orientalism. I don’t think Pezeshkian wrote a very effective letter.

Nuremberg (2025) is an absolutely braindead film

it’s the lesser evil “I would personally slit the throat of a child if I knew with 100% certainty it would create 50,000 more Kamala votes in Michigan” types who are still living in the 2016 results, where margins were thin enough you could pretty much invent any kind of self-contradictory leftist you like, assume pretty confidently at least few thousand of them exist in each swing state, and blame the loss on them.

Far from the first time the KMT has done something like this. it’s not really a sign of anything changing.

Funniest outcome: McCasland was a deepstate psyop hysteria-maxxer trying to create Non-human-biologics phantoms to justify more defense spending for “le epic bacon UAP Gap” which made some disaffected paranoid loner so afraid they pulled a Bugonia and kidnapped him to gather HUMINT about the Andromedans. props to this guy for starting with Military brass instead of podcast grifters.

I’m as left as they come. I would have voted for Kamala a third time if I could.

Surely strategic ambiguity will work for Iran this time!

When I think of a die hard Harry Potter fan, what I think is a normie. a vapid tasteless normie who doesn’t know anything about the greater science fiction or fantasy genre who’s immature desire for wish fulfillment and simplistic characters keeps them from seeking out greater authors. If they ever attempted the works by Ursula K. Le Guin or Terry Pratchett they would have either put aside Rowling, or more likely, quickly loose interest and revert back to simple pleasures.

Of course, this is a completely unrealistic perspective. It is unnecessarily elitist and patronizing. Nonetheless, it’s still persistent. So I’d be really interested to hear the perspective of super fans of the series like that actually have a wide-ranging experience with different fantasy genres as a comparison point, what they think of those authors people often hold up as superior to Rowling, and why they find Harry Potter so special.

wouldn’t negotiations between Japan and Iran be bilateral negotiations? is there another meaning of that word i’m not familiar with?

Does the west still use contrast seeking missiles, or was this gps guided into the decoy?

50 years from now they’ll Photoshop a nasal guard.

Could dprk simply move some ballistic missiles around obviously enough they get noticed by satellite, forcing the US to keep that THAAD there?

I’ve always projected the doomsday war as being the early 2030s, since that’s when a while bunch of navy programs aimed at China will be finishing. The rollout of B21, F-15ex, and drone wingman will also need to wait until the latter half of Vance’s first term to be ready.
