I do not think Herr Trump understands that he does not control this situation, Iran does. Iran does not have to win, they just have to not lose. Iran can close the passageway through that straight... Iran can destroy that resource, so Iran is the one who controls that resource.

Iran has the capability to simultaneously throw many uncrewed aerial and sea vehicles at ships within that narrow strait, and at US troops ashore. when there are so many "drones" that they can be used to hunt down individual soldiers as in Ukraine, then defenses will be overwhelmed and ships and troops will die.

Rich people do not care if "ordinary" people die on their whims. Herr Trump and his friends have no "skin in the game" and care not who fights and bleeds and dies because of their greed and hunger for power.

once upon a time long ago I was a "Regular Army" Sergeant, and I weep for these children they are about to send into harms's way... all because of the whim of a fool.

Trump Has Detained the Parents of More Than 11,000 U.S. Citizen Kids
---

A ProPublica analysis of new ICE data shows that Trump has detained parents of U.S. citizen children at about twice the rate that Biden did, and moms have been deported four times as often.

Would be good, I think, if there was a line in coverage of Trump's "postponement" of raining bombs on Iran for five days, to just state an obvious truth: the five days coincide with the work week, aka when the financial markets are open.

Videos of depositions that were taken down from YouTube because of the risk of harassment and "reputational harm" towards DOGE members Nate Cavanaugh and Justin Fox can be published online again. Judge Colleen McMahon, who had originally ordered that the videos be removed, wrote in this new ruling: "[T]he testimony in the videos concerns the conduct of public officials acting in their official capacities — a context in which the public interest in transparency and accountability is at its apex." Here's more from @404mediaco.

Just ban GenAI entirely in your projects.
Do not underestimate what the players pushing these tools are trying to do in literally every single sphere of the tech space.
I pushed for less harsh policies in the past. All I can say is please, do not. It was a mistake. You cannot trust anyone who helps make these tools, do not - even for a second - underestimate the will power they have and will use to ruin. Please don't make the mistakes I made.

Always "weh" about when folks call the color that especially, it feels in the vein of South Park dismissal of people's ability to like things they just plain like.

I like my plant/sage green. It's not 'millenial', it's a color that's calming and comforting to me. Don't box my expressing a genuine interest in a thing into a dismissive label category.
