Unsourced Twitter content so who knows, but it appears to be US sof in Yemen doing "we own this city" style patrols. Our sof has been there for the entirety of the conflict (and before) doing kill team stuff, but this seems new, and an increased footprint. If true.

Emirati SOF has a lot of the same toys and aesthetics that US SOF does and it would make a lot more sense for them to be doing overt presence patrols in that city than it would for the US.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure JSOC would want to be concentrating on AQAP in the ungoverned areas, rather than jump into the Houthi/Saudi coalition war.

This woman microdosed halfway through "The Watchmen" without realizing this article was due by midnight.

My dumb guy understanding into the Senator's thought process is:
1. John McCain = good
2. John McCain votes against own party
3. I vote against own party
4. I = good
5. Brunch

Nah. She had a $32k/yr job 9 years ago. Now she gets $100k over the weekend. It’s easy to see where she is. She was bought off.

She really did try to follow the thought process though, gotta give her credit for trying to understand the unintelligible.

Alexandra Petri is basically WaPo's in-house humor/satire writer and she's a national treasure. I highly recommend her stuff, just making sure y'all know she's not like a normal WaPo writer - she made a hyperlink to call her side of WaPo the Compost.

Her stuff just sounds like someone microdosing because that's our shared reality now.

I read the article and was like "holy poo poo a good WaPo article" so yeah I figured she wasn't like a usual writer.

So if what I've read here, a J&J booster shot is basically the same as the booster shots from the other vaccines, it's just that J&J pushed theirs as a one-dose rather than a two-dose and now it's a two-dose.

Not quite on the first part. Current data is showing that someone that got a single dose of J&J produce more antibodies if they get a dose of mRNA instead of a second J&J. But the mix/match idea is still getting looked at, as it's just lab data at this point.

J&J is definitely going to be a two-dose going forward, with two months between doses. It just remains an open question about what the initial J&J single-dose folks should do in the near term, but at worst they should get a second J&J.

They should just go ahead and get an mRNA dose.

I mean, I doubt I'll see 60, so 84 is a pretty good number no matter what kills you.
