two blues pretending not to know each other

A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.

What the evidence shows:

Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.

Built to fail:

The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.

Accountability buried:

Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.

My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.

One thing that I'll always defend about soviet union, it took animation as a medium of art and not just a Genre for childrens intertaininment.

Soviet animation had very small budgets but experimented with very unique styles.

I will forever grieve it's loss.

all that for cards named stuff like "A Most Mirthful Tea-Time", "Hi! Ho! Hark! Hither!", and "Bonko, the Roundest Dwarf"

It is beyond parody that the MCU is trying to make us think we have love and nostalgia for a Channing Tatum Gambit that never happened. This is really what “Glup Shitto” means

@BENZOTOOIE You people really have no idea how casinos function on a fundamental level. The casinos recognize and allow players who count cards, this has been industry standard for probably 40 years at this point

[Alex Huber @king_hubes]

@Slendr_Playr918 @CEO_87 They don’t kick you out for winning a little too much. You have a fundamental misunderstanding of casinos as an industry

[Alex Huber @king_hubes]

@bronzewillie1 @RealTankTheta @CEO_87 This isn’t happened anywhere at all. Nobody is trying to cheat you at a casino. The only people who make that kind of accusing that no idea how casinos operate

[Alex Huber @king_hubes]

@RealTankTheta @CEO_87 This has never happened and is not happened in any casino. You have a terrible understanding of how casinos function

[Alex Huber @king_hubes]

@CEO_87 This is incorrect. The game is never meant to be kept track of, fundamentally you need to have a random card from the deck coming out of the shoe to produce the hands. That’s it. Keeping track forces the casino to use automatic shufflers which keep all cards in the drawing pool.

@NekroMoth @RuiAVELINO2 @JefferyDoomer @BENZOTOOIE What you’re saying is nonsense. You can’t count cards in poker. You’re referring to blackjack

[Seamus Kelahan @seemoose27]

At one time, MTG was grounded in the idea that the cards represented two wizards dueling with spells. The UB sets are completely divorced from that foundation, leaving the flavor of the game adrift in a capitalist hellscape. I genuinely dont think its a fixable problem.

[Alex Huber @king_hubes]

@LemorasCards Hard agree

[swinky @swinkying]

1) yes, without sarcasm.
2) golf courses at least don't poison water
3) picking the 2023 number for data centers is deranged
