Hanania's degree is actually in International Relations — when he was an anonymous racist posting on message boards and far-right sites, he was also doing bog-standard academic work. So he knows of course that there is no such thing as a theory called…

I'm having unpleasant memories of trying to explain to nominal leftists in 2016 that what Trump was going to do to U.S. rules of engagement would kill a lot more civilians. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

"The U.S. races to destroy Iran’s missile and drone force before it runs out of interceptors to fend off Tehran’s retaliation.... The U.S. is also expending sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles, widely known as TLAMs, and aircraft-launched weapons against…

I was just rereading Guzzini's fantastic piece on "securitization" as a mechanism rather than a particularly good theory of how securitization happen, and this is a good illustration of why he's right. But Stefano is pretty much always right. [contains…

As always, good thread from @profsaunders.bsky.social. @cooleyoneurasia.bsky.social talk about how Trump admin hollowed out these processes, why it did so, and what some of the costs are in our recent @foreignaffairs.com article. Spoiler: a combo of…

@monacharen.bsky.social was kind enough to invite @cooleyoneurasia.bsky.social and me onto her podcast. She argued Trump likely wants 'his place in history' as the U.S. president who finally brought down the Iranian government. I think that, plus his…

Serious question: what does it mean to give grok access to classified systems? Does that mean localized instances on SIPRNET and JWICS with the ability to search each systems' databases? Does it mean a tunnel to external servers? In other words, how the…

The notion that we could “indoctrinate” military officers in 1.5 years of coursework is grimly hilarious. I really hope they don’t yank funding from students already in these programs, but I suspect that without pushback he definitely will.…

It seems to me that one could imitate the right-wing media outrage-addiction spiral on the left by focusing on elite malfeasance and other outrages. You wouldn’t even need to make it ideology-forward. Make “rich people crime” a feature. Which is why you…

Yes we're talking about "activists" but remind me again why we shouldn't worry about midterm-election fuckery from the same president who didn't do all the things only because his advisors sabotaged his efforts, and still managed to bring us January 6th.…

If I'm reading the "AI will nuke us all" paper correctly, the prompts contain no discussion of tradeoffs related to the escalation options, e.g., specifications of consequences of conventional war, nuclear strikes, &c. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.14740

🧵 This gets at a pet peeve of mine: the term “literature review” itself. The main reasons we discuss “the literature” are: 1) to establish a puzzle or controversy, 2) relatedly, lay out alternative explanations or interpretations, and 3) create…

"We looked at kids using cannabis before they had any evidence of these psychiatric conditions and then followed them to understand if they were more likely or less likely to develop them..." I mean, maybe? [contains quote post or other embedded content]
