how did you turn those anime boys into New York City grandpas, that was amazing

Being a majority artist owned co-op is in the fedi spirit. I know Rebecca Watson is crushing it on Mastodon, are there any other nebula/fedi crossover creators you’d recommend?

I read somewhere that nebula was paying a good bit more per view, and paid per minute watched

You’re correct. The further depths of this are sinister enough that this enormous explainer video will keep you glued to its twists and turns.

I broadly agree with you, but I’d welcome a discussion of a blind spot in almost everything I’ve seen. I haven’t read much specialty defense analysis recently, so if anyone has some I’d be fascinated to read it.

The wider press seems to ignore the strategic significance of Iran gathering all that detection, location, and performance data of all the AA, ABM, air superiority, and radar assets that popped off a billion dollars’ worth of interception. Can someone explain to me how this does not place Israel’s nuts in a vise?

Yes, a lot of that intel is fleeting as systems are moved and whatnot, but if they’re on the ball there is a whole lot of data selling and prankery that can be done all the same. Israel has tiny strategic depth and is limited in how elusive they can be around their tightly packed valuable targets, and Hezbollah has shown they know how to take advantage of probing Israeli defenses.

If the Likudniks escalate and draw a more committed Iranian and proxy barrage, that could get pants-shittingly serious. What am I, or what are we, not seeing?

Mentally pronouncing this to rhyme with “jacquard” makes me miss Homestar Runner.

With reasons well grounded in Chilean history, as I’m sure you may know. I’ve had a very eye opening time with this book, The Palestine Laboratory, free right now from the publisher. The first chapter is a pretty intense recounting of the ways that the Israeli government and military industry were materially supportive to Pinochet’s regime.

Thank you for this wider view. It was shitty to see these dynamics play out as the bombs started falling:

Israel-Palestine war: They were told to leave their homes. They did. They were still bombed

I’m more grateful for paywalled Web 1.0 platforms from two decades ago than I have been in a long time. Metafilter’s FanFare section is low-volume but particularly satisfying for thoughtful movie chatter. It’s fun when bursts of comments in an old thread are years apart between a title’s theatrical release and arrival on streaming.
