Even piloted air combat is changing. This decade's peer conflicts are forcing the rapid evolution of combat. Warfare in the 2030s will look a lot different than warfare of the 2010s.

According to Pakistani security officials who spoke to CNN, last night’s aerial “dogfight” between the Indian and Pakistani Air Force, which Pakistani officials claim resulted in the downing of at least five Indian fighter jets, was one of the “largest and longest in recent https://t.co/ekLW0W1PCk

why did we have to get the stupid timeline?

“We had a deficit of over $1T. And because of 145%, there's no trading. We are, therefore, making, in a certain way, $1.1T” - Trump

Enron’s CFO is now President of the United States.

the man is just an idiot. it's very simple.

Trump: "We were losing hundreds of billions of dollars with China. Now we're essentially not doing business with China. Therefore, we're saving hundreds of billions of dollars. It's very simple." https://t.co/bXgi2iAvod

this is a really clever design. will be able to compete across multiple categories

we'll start seeing the impact this weekend, but the real pain won't hit until may - june

likely more acute supply chain disruption than covid for a few months

humanity would greatly accelerate if china improved their rule of law in order to receive more diverse international investors and builders

Xiaomi has unveiled a factory that produces 1 phone per second, has no production employees (just maintenance), operates 24/7, with the lights off.

From parts to boxed product. https://t.co/irSxJhorHE

“They claim their labors are to build a heaven, yet their heaven is populated with horrors. Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. A clock without a craftsman. It's too late. Always has been. Always will be. Too late.”

It's that phase of historical cycles where all the adults act like children. aka "weak men" phase

if this were crypto, this is when you buy into the one that has meme-bottomed.

the ukraine war already woke up much of europe; american isolationism might be the spark that brings back a strong, productive, and innovative continent

Base

the “Base is for builders” tagline has always represented the true heart of those on Base.

yes, it doesn’t pay out as quickly as the zero sum casino chains, but that was the whole point. that was the appeal. the brand was about building crypto apps that bring real value to people’s lives. 

if that differentiator disappears, the builders are much more likely to go elsewhere.

I almost got blown up for the United States while in Afghanistan. 

I think about this a lot as I watch how the government treats our allies and our citizens these days. 

I know this piece of media has an agenda (like every other piece of media) and that Farcasters like to stay in their cozy bubble, but between the plain clothes abductions, the admin attacking Harvard’s tax exempt status, and the goofy ass supervillain gilding of the Oval Office I seriously urge you to consider the fact that we might be in for a bad time pretty soon.

the cruelty, constitutional crisis, isolation of allies, and fall of the dollar as the reserve currency has many of us who served our country going through the stages of grief rn

There are only two reasons a country would do this intentionally, even to a mortal enemy:
1. Trying to end a shooting war
2. Trying to start one.

Even if the tariffs end now, the US is going to feel supply chain pain worse than the start of Covid for at least a few months
