  • It’s hilarious that the UN Security Council scrambles to hold a meeting when peace is threatened. They act like they’re a superhero best friends league meeting in the Den of Justice to address a threat, but…it’s Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. That’s like creating the League of Child Defenders, but it’s Jeffrey Epstein and the guy who kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.

  • The American strike on Iran included a second group of B-2 bombers that were sent in the opposite direction as the strike group to serve as a decoy. Forgive me here — I’m not a weapons expert — but...isn’t the B-2 supposed to be a stealth bomber? How can a stealth bomber be a decoy? You can’t be a stealth decoy — there are no stealth rodeo clowns. Was the feint pointless, or should we call the B-2 a “somewhat sneaky bomber” instead of a “stealth bomber”?

  • My generation’s awareness of the B-2 bomber was greatly boosted by the ease with which a B-2 can be drawn on graph paper. Behold:

Once I drew one, I had to draw the other two.
