Unfortunately for the residents of Moscow, all Russian AA weapons are currently in Ukraine.

It seems that we have progressed to the "find out" stage. I wonder if this will have any measurable effect on Putin's support, though. Russians seem like heavy sleepers.

This is NOT a purity spiral

Right, because that's exactly what people who are not in a purity spiral say.

The YouTube channel Throttle House did a road trip with the cybertruck and they found that a lot of people actually were curious about it.

For all it's flaws, you can't deny it looks different from all the other cars around, and most people aren't online enough to have an opinion about Musk and his bullshit, so to them it's just an interesting looking car.

Except that they love policies that only benefit rich people who don't care about them.

It's not hypocrisy when you understand that "waste" is conservative for "helps the poor and/or minorities"

As the article says, there are typically a few cases a year in the US. It's actually endemic in the wild. No need to panic just from a case or two popping up.

No it isn't. The Democrats haven't had their convention yet.

What the fuck? Why would you do that!?

Both have the same ultimate cause, as well: politicians safe at home demanding immediate results no matter what it costs.

This is an important part of it. The other part is the fact that success in politics is very hard without money, and most rich people aren't progressives.

I wonder what the actual condition of the Russian navy is at this point. I heard their ships were generally in poor condition even before the war (those reports of the Moskva's air defense being crippled before it left port, for example), and now they're losing so many trained crew. Last I heard their shipyards were roughly keeping pace with losses in terms of tonnage but you can't just herd conscripts on a ship and expect it to function at all.
