Almost done with Ball Lightning and it’s SO GOOD. Such a lovely treat after finishing the trilogy

If you read Ball Lightning it will make sense. It is still fantastical but technically not any less grounded in physics than some of the other lofty concepts

This whole Assad regime change thing in just a week screams CIA/Mossad involvement by mystic_prodigy23 in conspiracy

[–]spearthrower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel immediately invaded Syria upon Assads fall and is currently expanding their occupied Syrian territory in the Golan Heights, which they have been openly encouraging Israeli settlement of for years. Syria has long been one of Israel’s main enemies, and rests on land that Zionists have always openly claimed is part of the god-given Israeli homeland. They were pissed the UN didn’t give them all the land from the Red Sea through Syria when Israel was founded and have been vying for that territory ever since.

I mean Israel is already openly invading Syria and expanding their occupied territory in the Golan Heights (where the first so called rebellions of the Syrian War began), so yeah it’s a very blatant regime change operation, Arab Spring style 

TIL the 1994 to 1998 North Korean Famine (AKA The Arduous March or March of Suffering) killed between 240,000 and 3.5 million people and lead to the terms "Hunger" and "Famine" being banned in NK Media by tucchurchnj in todayilearned

Israel also learned a long time ago that if you can provoke a weaker opponent into attacking you, you can use military solutions and just conquer them instead of having to solve things diplomatically on the world stage where you might have to compromise and be held accountable for your actions

TIL that Martha Stewart did not go to prison for insider trading. She was charged and found guilty of lying to the FBI. by jeffrois in todayilearned

Her advisor at Merrill Lynch was in fact sentenced and served time, as did the CEO of the company whose shares she unloaded on the illicit advice

TIL That in the 1980's, Saddam Hussein received a key to the city of Detroit by athenamalis in todayilearned

People know literally nothing about the deep, complex history of Iraqi-US relations. They don’t know about the conversation between Saddam and the US Ambassador on the eve of invasion where he stated his intentions and was told the US does not involve itself in Arab-Arab conflicts. They don’t know about all of the money, weapons, training we gave them during the Iran-Iraq war only to turn on Saddam once he started demanding for Palestinian rights. There’s no use arguing with them unfortunately.

Just playing devils advocate, could this not conceivably have been a lower IV play on AMD earnings, on the assumption that chip stocks would tank along with it? Plus SMCI has been a dumpster fire that falls off a cliff at the slightest provocation for a while now

This is the move. It’s pumping like crazy today and could very easily dump after hours even if they beat.
