Even hotter take: the fact that ebikes let teens in the suburbs suddenly have freedom to move around the public realm unsupervised is precisely why many older people are trying to ban them (using safety as a pretext)

For any course, you've got 16 weeks to work with. First day, exams, that kind of thing are eating two weeks. Each of the world wars is eating a whole week *at least*, you need to hit partition in India, decolonization in Africa, cover the Cold War in Europe and outside of Europe...

Needless to say, most non-history majors are not taking 300-level history courses. Now, if you are wondering, "but wait, this is an important event, how could it *not* be covered in detail in a broader course!?" let's talk about budgeting course content.

I recall us discussing in law school that I believe that for the very limited universe of people who should be executed, the governor, personally, should be required to perform the lethal act, and the condemned should have a wide selection of options to choose from.

In CSC we studied Steele’s unit’s performance in Iraq as an example of toxic leadership and ethical impropriety for promoting a culture which appears to have led to (among other things) the summary executions of prisoners.

Hegseth is a great example of a common type of officer who's ended up in charge of something, doesn't have a clue how to do the job, and just falls back on PT, grooming, slogans, and searching for scapegoats. If you put him in charge of a Cinnabon he would do the exact same things.

Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."

Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

Capital is literally incapable of recognizing existential threats to its own business models if the solutions require donating like 0.05% of its revenue to some kind of common good. It's not even cynical profit maximization, capital is genuinely just structurally insane

Schmitt: We had information Jack Smith was at a basketball game. There was only one NBA game that night which is why I asked him if he was in Atlanta.

Anyway, the Iran conflict is probably one of the less destructive ways Trump could detonate his political power. Albeit still hugely destructive. But at least we're getting a forced green energy transition and electrification (much stronger than any politically viable federal incentive).

Okay, seriously, what the fuck is this?

The top of the Google results when I went looking to see just what Mamdani's tweet that mentioned the Talmud actually said (a search for "mamdani talmud"). This top search reasult appears to link to Mamdani's Twitter account ("NYCMayor" on "X"), then has a truncated header ("Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on ...") and then it has a vile lying antisemitic screed that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM MAMDANI and I can only assume is some typical-for-Elon's-Nazi-website antisemitism someone wrote *about* Mamadani's post, but it's presented in the Google search results as if it's from Mamdani.

(text of the screed below, if you want to read it)
The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.

Mamdani's post, linked from that vile preview, in full (but a screenshot, so it doesn't include the video). Text below:

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.
