Elon's actively firing employees that correct his bullshit on twitter - definitely two today, including confirming the one I mentioned earlier:

It's really Trumpy bullshit where a rich gently caress says something that isn't true, like he's demanding that reality make it true or validate that he's right OR ELSE

I'm pretty sure that they are hoping to get fired. After what he has done so far why would you want to stay?

Keep an eye on the Russia thread and some verifiable news sources - Russia barfed out another bunch of missiles today and one apparently hit a border town in Poland.

While I don't doubt that Russia is capable of mistakenly hitting Poland, I would think this would be broadcasted more. All the articles I found talking about Russia sending all the missiles haven't mentioned Poland getting hit. I would imagine that "Putin Hits Poland With Missile Strike" would be a pretty trending headline, really quick.

How likely is this to be true?

Edit: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/polish-premier-calls-urgent-meeting-national-security-committee-2022-11-15/ from Ukraine Thread. This is the level of confirmation I was looking for.

Dunno, if Poland had their way they'd already have gotten involved, but Poland also knows they'd have no backing from NATO if them leaning in and taking a swing at the war directly went poorly. Can't invoke article 5 if you started poo poo.

Yeah, the Ukraine thread posted a reuters link, I added it to my OP.

Looks like I was a little too quick/impatient on this one. I am quickly growing more and more distrustful of anything coming out of Twitter.

Do we have odds on how "proportional" the Polish/NATO response will be?

I don't think anything more than a stern letter and demand for reparations for the two people killed. They're not going to invoke Article V over a stray missile that hit a farm.

This wave of "Iran sentences 15,000 prisoners to death" stuff I'm starting to see on reddit etc is bullshit, right? Some initial searches have indicated one death penalty passed down so far.

And, you know, is there any surer way to kick the unrest and protests up to no-poo poo revolution than a mass execution..

Yes, mostly bullshit.

The article that gets cited actually states that so far, only one person was sentenced to death. Will there be more executions/death sentences? Most likely, it is Iran after all.

But yes, that headline/claim is false/hyperbole.
