I think one reason that many of us are skeptical that the regime in Tehran will fall with airpower alone is that the US also tried this in Iraq in 1991, as Operation Desert Storm transitioned into the no-fly zones of Operations Provide Comfort I/II. 👇

The other version of this album made a huge impact on a 17 year old me. Saw them on this tour the night before the first day of the last year of high school. It was amazing. Looking forward to this.

Did you mess around on ISCA? That was my Iowa city internet introduction

i know this is the least important headline right now but come the fuck on

Incredible

I drove 7 hours on the interstate without a windshield and talked my way out of the inevitable traffic stop

It must be really hard working in a professional kitchen what with all the spies and secret agents in hot pursuit of bad guys constantly running through smashing up all your shit.

At root is Rubio’s desire to do the Bolívar Gran Colombia thing, but keep it together somehow this time. And the flag thing is how he sells it to his idiot boss.

This was about the previous war but it still applies

Underrated cat mood: when they’re like “where we goin?” And follow you from room to room

Good thread on what’s happening in education in Iowa

I love where you're going with this research! I think it could be really fruitful. Of all the types of redactions I run into in sanitized documents, the names of companies are both the most annoying and feel the least justified after so many decades. Important work, imho.

Those numbers are just staggering

Nice! I'll check that out. Thanks

immediate postwar moment seemed VERY important. North American woodpulp was the only game running. Hard to imagine in the post-digital world, but providing paper to print on was a point of significant pressure. Why wouldn't it be bent to serve the rising anti-communist fervor? 2/2

On the subject of paper, I recall reading state department docs about Colombia from like 1946 that went into a lot of detail about US exports of newsprint and who was on the receiving end. I don't believe I scanned those, so can't easily go check, but choosing who can communicate what in the 1/
