My assessment of who’s to blame for the Iran debacle: foremost the President, but also the Secretaries of State and Defense and the National Security Advisor, all of whom failed at their central obligations. www.aei.org/foreign-and-...
@kschake.bsky.social on who is to blame for the terrible US-Iran deal..."impossible to hide that the outcome of this war is an American defeat of historic proportions."

Delighted to see that the Fort Collins police department has discontinued its use of Flock cameras.
The Cheese and the Worms had nothing to do with what I was studying in the 1990s and yet it was a powerful and influential book for me...as was the whole idea of microhistory and its power.

Serious "Best in Show" dog announcer vibes from the Fox color commentators
www.aei.org
brown dwarves and "hot Jupiters"
Sci-fi and the “tyranny of the M Class Planet”...
Want some summer reading? How about a "book about books about computing"??
