  • Better name for sure

  • Yeah the guy who makes these has a “slop” banner on YouTube. A sorta “worlds burning, might as well use the fuel to make fun of it” vibe?

  • It’s an AI version of a JD Vance meme turned into a member of Queen. That… visage is a very popular intenet version of JD Vance, a. Sort of lollipop guild Andre the Giant crazy look.

  • Yeah I love that he puts in that version of JD in both videos. I kinda think that given how widespread this version of him is on the internet, more people have seen him like this, so in a sense this is what he looks like in most people’s heads. Would be nice.

  • Yeah was wondering if that was it.

  • music @hexbear.net

    Iran (so far away)

  • So is it Air Force regulation that all pilots who can grow them must maintain mustaches?

  • God it really is feeling like a plan and mission springing out of the minds of people who last made new memories 20 years ago… I keep asking myself, how can they not see the basic things that I, a silly internet reader seem to see about an attack on Iran, but this is one explanation—they really live in an alternated reality.

  • I don’t really know at this point whether he was a good, or bad, or neutral guy in the s heme of things. But I found his post presidential twitter behavior very amusing, and as a result sorta liked him for no good reason. Also because after the bush years, I was finally able to properly pronouce his name.

    I suppose they’ll say they’re cleaning up potential regime backfillers…. But really reads more like revenge/vindictiness and lack of more consequential targets.

  • Ah ok that makes sense. Figured this had to be Mecca.

  • This is what happens a when you give the drunk tv grifter the keys to the army twitter acct.

  • Jesus that is horrible. Also what is that Ben-hur looking collegium thing in the foreground?

  • Thanks for posting that, so there has been some reporting. Some very strange items they were playing with off label… if I recall correctly from the original event, they found IDF guns in the LV house, which doesn’t mean anything per se, but is intriguing.

  • That is crazy how close the person filming the strike was… looked like they were only a couple stories below max. Guess they probably weren’t expecting their building to get hit.

  • Yup I had that feeling too—they were super weird and there’s been no follow up, very strange enterprise you’d think it be more investigated.

  • Yeah they’re all acting like this was some brilliant ruse—literally everyone knew they were full of shit, they e literally done this precise move multiple times before…

  • So weird, like did they turn the whole hall into a SKIF? Because random ass blue curtains with gaps above won’t stop audible communication, let alone anything else… mind you I’m basing my understanding of presidential comms protocol off the Netflix diplomat show.

  • The cost-kill ratio on that drone must be pretty insane: I saw elsewhere in here that dome is 1.1 billion.

    Edit: looks like I was thinking of the pyramid radar dome thing, not the spherical, in terms of the 1.1billion price tag.

  • Man they are really excited to fire that laser aren’t they—first a balloon and now a cpb drone. I guess the thing works!

  • Don’t have a good source to pass along, but I did query my Chinese AI friend earlier because I was also confused. and it sounds like this is a boil over the border conflicts the two countries have had for a while. Basically there’s a group of militants attacking Pakistan, apparently there were some attacks recently, and the Pakistani government maintains that they retreat back into Afghanistan to hide, and have demanded the Taliban do something about it. Apparently the Taliban have generally rejected this claim, and there is confusion about whether they’re turning a blind eye, or if it’s real, etc. in any case: existing argument, has been. Inflamed by recent terror attacks inside Pakistan, and Pakistan has chosen to attack Afghanistan in response.

    I also learned that both countries were majority Sunni, which surprised me because I had read something a couple days ago about the Taliban saying they would lend support to Iran if certain scales of attack occurred. Again, haven’t done the required fact checking here, so happy to be corrected on any of this.

    Edit: they are covering it while I was writing this on American Prestige. Sounds like Pakistan was attacking “militants” across the border. Apparently they did this last year as well.
