In one heavily Bangladeshi precinct on Hillside Avenue, Mamdani ended up winning more raw votes than Harris on Tuesday—despite 14 percent fewer people showing up.

Damn, that is pretty wild. And pretty damning.

On the other hand, I'm sure the DNC consultants and old guard are scrambling to create a narrative to explain all this away, which I shall read as purely for the entertainment value, since it’s essentially just creative writing.

A lot of countries don’t have comically large defense budgets. Portugal is one of those countries. They’re not “poor” per se in terms of GDP, but they’re also not rolling in silly amounts of cash. Both the EF2000 and JAS39 would be great choices.

That’s great, but I’ll celebrate when they stop just straight up ignoring court orders.

Not to mention: a multiclass exhibition event (or series?) with FE + F1 might be pretty cool to see - especially as a way to make it clear to fans that ICE is actually the slower class nowadays.

Also, my inner child would LOVE it if they rebranded FE to FZero 🤩

Sorry for the link from The Other Site, but I thought this was too good to pass up. This is attitude is one of the main reasons I love this city so much. When the chips are down, we don’t fuck around. No tolerance or quarter for fascist bigots.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

PLAN's new amphibious landing support vessels (youtu.be)
 

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.
