Morning.
Is it just me or is the SEE ticket website completely shit
Is there a way to guage the point at which they reach "Oops--couldn't defend Taiwan of we wanted to"? (assuming that they were not already below that point)
Well, after all, this is in Lucas's original inspiration. The empire is the US the rebels are the Viet Cong
How much of total rubber production did it come to consume
Neocons famously thought the Empire were the good guys - a meritocracy fighting against religiously fueled zealots seeking world government.
Death as moneyshot
I knew some people who worked on Star Wars (Pentagon version, not Skywalker Ranch version) in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They utterly identified with the Empire. Ironically, sure, but also, you know, not...?
Wow. New low.
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
As I never tire of pointing out, Americans VOTED for this. After the storming of the Capitol building & Trump's lies about the election being 'stolen,' they gave him the White House
Europeans need to consider how they want to live their lives & how to do so in their Orwellian, dystopian nightmare
Yes -- see OP
I don't think there's any doubt that defending yourself against illegal attack is authorised under the charter, and that that applies both to Kuwait in 1990 (with allied action in aid specifically called for by the security council) and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022

A friend was complaining to me about the sanctimonious use of "illegal war" yesterday, which made me ask what post-1945 interstate wars that have been legal in the context of UN charter. I'm getting Korea, the Falklands, 1991 Gulf war and the 2011 intervention in Libya. Other opinions?
Genuinely fascinating divergence.
Oil and energy market types: really beginning to freak out.
Global macro types: mostly relatively calm and expecting this to all blow over.
On the one hand, a clearly deranged lunatic in the White House starting a dangerous illegal war on Iran with already-serious repercussions for the region and world...
Or having a pop at Keir Starmer.
You just knew which side the Right would come down on.
cf the idea that museums are basically places to take children
Today's #photograph is another moody one from yesterday's dawn #cycle ride. This is a view from the #Conwy bridge, looking towards #Llandudno #Wales #photography
DM'd you
Another interesting thing about the illo in that article -- it seems to show a 9 engine version of New Glenn as the launcher of future missions alongside a pair of SLS
Further confusion: the graphic in this article shows Orion docked to the top of Blue Moon, not to the side of the crew quarters in its base, as the illo Jatan uses does www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...
The divergence between Lucy Mangan's 5⭐ review of Vladimir in the Guardian and its evisceration on the PilotTV podcast is quite the thing...
I am an historian of the Cold War.
One of my major (if obvious) takeaways from having studied that period is that fomenting a civil war in another country is evil. Full stop.
IMO better to be a good person who gets duped once in a while than constantly on your guard
