Any analysis of the Iran War that doesn't start and end with the fact that an entire cottage industry of think tankers and lobbyists and their friends in Congress were frothing at the mouth for literal decades for this got exactly what they wanted and it failed immediately and totally is wrong.

The theory is it serves as a cathartic pressure valve - a way to vent frustration on actions that achieve little on their own. It pacifies people into feeling impactful while the actual levers of power remain entirely unobstructed. They already know they’re unpopular, and they don't care.

There is no thinking going on here. The reason an LLM can answer a factual question is because someone has posted text on that specific question. The reason they are such good coding buddies is because people have posted immense numbers of code snippets (and that code is so strictly grammatical.)

At some point having supported military aid to Israel is going to be a political liability - quite possibly in 2026 and definitely in 2028.

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

The pain is so real. If you’re more upset about mean jokes than the suffering fueling them, you are deeply out of touch
