This bleak (but unfortunately compelling) thread makes me think that the individual human mind/psyche is just ill-suited to being plugged into machines that allow everyone everywhere to be simultaneously talking about everything that has ever happened or could have happened at any time in any place.
This is not a "students today" post--it's more "this is a new form of dysfunction" that doesn't look exactly like it's been in previous decades. It's more than just "first-year chaos." It's an across-the-board inability to process instructions, engage with longer texts, and *connect* with others.

this seems important to me: at least some later strikes changed away from kill-em-all as policy.
I wonder if this rescue op was a response to someone in the military refusing another “murder the survivors” order.

Hey #UglyDogs! We have an engagement to celebrate!
Santa asked @rileyharden.bsky.social what he wanted for Christmas and he turned to me and said “all I want for Christmas is you!”
We got engaged on Saturday! Santa pulled the ring out of his sleeve.
Excited to see where life takes us, together! 💜 Love you, Riley!

Hegseth is vulnerable here, and so is the regime more broadly and they know it.
The response, specifically to Kelly last week, makes a lot of sense in the context of “this info is coming out, the military is comprised folks that admire Kelly more than they respect Hegseth.”

We can’t know the outcome here yet, but as @haydonmp.bsky.social noted, the sands under the administration’s feet are shifting rapidly and it’s possible they wind up neck deep before they even realize they might need to turn around.

NEW: The F.D.A. announced in an internal memo that 10 children died "because of" the Covid shot. Other experts want to see proof.
“This is a profound revelation,” Dr. Prasad's memo said. “For the first time, the U.S. F.D.A. will acknowledge that Covid-19 vaccines have killed American children.”

Ed Whelan was Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for OLC from 2001-2004, so when he suggests that laws of war have been violated by the executive branch, that’s… something
Does Pete Hegseth have a "golden shield" against prosecution in the form of a DOJ OLC opinion? Ed Whelan thinks not.

Just out of curiosity, how many warriors in SOUTHCOM have faced actual enemy fire in these "operations"?
Please don't misunderstand, I understand that military training and operations always involve risk, but I can't quite handle the war criminal acting like these "missions" are actually dangerous.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."
