    1/ Here is how the abomination that is the AT-ST came about. Spoiler alert, it comes down to compromises & mission creep. "Initial Requirement: We need a small dropship deliverable armored sentry tower (ST) for forward operating bases with space for 4 sentries" An early sketch:

    Now that Andor has given us a glimpse inside the Empire’s bureaucracy and military industrial complex, I want a “Pentagon Wars” style movie about the development of the AT-ST and the corners that were cut which resulted in it becoming easy prey for a bunch of Ewoks! #StarWars

    RT @JamieMetzl: I am a proud and loyal Democrat. I served in President Clinton’s National Security Council and worked for Madeleine Albright at the State Department. I ran for Congress as a Democrat, have voted Democratic all my life, and expect to continue doing so. But I would never vote for Abdul El-Sayed. In my judgment, he does not represent the values of our party or our nation. I urge my fellow patriotic Democrats in Michigan to leave the Senate line blank or vote for Republican Mike Rogers. This is an exceptional case, and I do not make this recommendation lightly. We can support Democratic majorities nationally while refusing to support a candidate who violates our core values. Loyalty to our party should strengthen our principles, never require us to abandon them.

He called it "putting country before party."

    Biological intelligence. Consciousness. Humanity. Now called analog intelligence or "wet" intelligence by the less couth clankers. It was the ocean we swam in and we knew no different. Then in 2028 we created the first artificial super intelligence. Enough 0s and 1s and voila, new life. It only took 4 months from that point to create the first quantum intelligence and first artificial consciousness. We now had 3 distinct species of thought and self. We though a complete universe of intelligence. One we could barely understand but we could see a future where we did understand it and where we all worked together. But we were wrong. It wasn't a complete universe. We had inadvertently created a 4th species of intelligence. One we couldn't even begin to understand. We called it White Space intelligence and its naked hostility caught us by surprise. The 21st century was wild.

    And it all gets spent back in the US.
    Ritchie Torres @RitchieTorres
    FACT: The annual funding Israel receives from the US amounts to less than one-tenth of 1% of the federal budget. Less than 1/10th of 1%. FACT: That annual funding would cover only a few hours of federal health care spending. A few hours. Yet politicians who specialize in scapegoating would have you believe that Israel is responsible for America’s affordability crisis. Like every form of scapegoating before it, it is a dangerous lie.

    RT @HaleyforMI: This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days. Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!! How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President.

"The DSA, the energy and the desire and demand for bold change, not incremental change, is very much going to be dominant. I mean, that's going to be a mainstream Democratic movement. Absolutely. No question about that." That's California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a likely 2028 presidential candidate, speaking to an undercover journalist while campaigning in New Hampshire. Asked by a "younger voter" who said "we don't want Kamala Harris, we want more democratic socialist policies": "No one is arguing to manage the status quo and fail more efficiently." "You can't play in the margins anymore. The system's broken. It's completely unbalanced, and we can't manage the decline. We have to completely reimagine."

    RT @EricLDaugh: 🚨 HOLY CRAP! An outreach captain for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El Sayed (D) was caught on camera DEFENDING the Muslim Brotherhood and trashing voters as "idiots" This is BRUTAL for Mohamed! "He's a Muslim, he's from that part of the world. Why wouldn't he stand with his brothers?" "He's a Muslim and he fights and he's anti-colonialist, I'm assuming. Why wouldn't you support revolutionary movements for your people? I'm not offended by this because Americans are idiots!" YIKES. "The Muslim Brotherhood and these other organizations, all they want is to preserve their people." This is the guy El Sayed's campaign put in charge of winning over conservatives and independents in Michigan And he's openly defending an Islamist terror-linked movement while calling American voters "idiots" Every voter must see this. Abdul is a national security threat Total mask-off moment days before the election. Mike Rogers vindicated!

    Adam Milstein @AdamMilstein
    This is one of the most comical ads this election cycle. Yes, Americans are chatting at the grocery store about how they can’t buy groceries because their tax dollars “go to Israel” 🙄 😂 nevermind the fact that Israel has invested 100% of military aid in the U.S. economy since Oct 7, and has also purchased over $1 billion *additional* in arms, according to DoD. Federal military aid is also prohibited from being spent on anything other than U.S. arms, so the line about healthcare is even more comical. El Sayed and his Islamist fans like Cenk Uygur want and expect American voters to be so stupid they never check. Not only is this ad insane, conspiratorial, and antisemitic — it is also flat out false. El Sayed isn’t for the people of Michigan, he isn’t even for America. He is for the Muslim Brotherhood.

    RT @moghaoui: Islamophobes are accusing Abdul El-Sayed of being pro–Muslim Brotherhood JUST BECAUSE: • His mother worked for an organization later designated by the U.S. Treasury for supporting terrorist groups. • His sister-in-law appeared on a federal terrorism watchlist during the Obama administration. • His father-in-law held leadership roles in organizations accused of Brotherhood connections. • Those organizations were named unindicted co-conspirators in the Holy Land Foundation case. • His half-sister celebrated October 7 online. • The same half-sister wrote that their family had “long been MB” and described their mother’s Brotherhood activism. • His campaign buddy Hasan Piker said America deserved 9/11. • He wanted to avoid commenting on Khamenei’s death because some potential voters were grieving. • He signed a statement urging Morsi’s government to purge Egypt’s media and police. • He compared Oklahoma’s Sharia-ban measure to historical atrocities, including the Trail of Tears. • He praised the work of Tariq Ramadan, grandson of the Muslim Brotherhood’s founder. • He defended his friend Mohamed Soltan, whose father was a senior Brotherhood figure. • His campaign received donations from CAIR-associated individuals, and his father-in-law contributed $300,000 to a supporting PAC. • He argued that a Brotherhood-led Egypt would not necessarily resemble Iran. You’re confusing what happened with what you’re allowed to notice

    RT @AriFleischer: Abdul is not the only Muslim to run for the Senate. Mehmet Oz ran in 2024. No one ran against Oz because he’s a Muslim. That’s because Oz didn’t call Israel Bloodthirsty. Oz didn’t write an oped urging support for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Oz didn’t have donors who belonged to the MB. Oz didn’t blame terrorism on the policies of the US. And Oz didn’t justify a terrorist on a synagogue. This race isn’t about Abdul’s faith. It’s about his extremist ideas.

    RT @micahjay1: So good- I wish I wrote this. It’s no longer just founders optimizing for the next round. It’s VCs saying “will a Tier 1 want this at the A,” which is front-running a perceived mark, not partnering for business building. When building something instrinsically valuable becomes a secondary goal, that's not a good thing. I fell for the same thing in 1999 and ended up empty handed.
