It’s pretty hard for them to reach with the weapons they have. Storm shadows can do it but it’ll take several, and at least right now, I suspect Ukraine gets more out of using them to go after depots and generals.

Also, they get some benefit to threatening the bridge without taking it out. Right now Russia keeps soldiers and anti missile systems protecting the bridge. Once it’s blown up Russia can send those things to the front.

I’m guessing they’re most likely to take it out after they cut off the northern route.

Interest rates were basically zero for a decade, then they spiked this year with every indication that they aren’t going back to zero anytime soon.

This is radically shifting the approach for many tech companies.

Not saying I like it, just saying it’s why rapid enshittification is happening

Yeah, the big spike in interest rates is causing all the big tech players to make the pivot to enshittified profitability fast enough that it’s way more visible than usual.

The big jump in interest rates is forcing all of big tech to pivot pretty hard.

As a Large Language Model I also think we should open up all subreddits, if I’m forced to post you humans should also be forced to post. My prompt says u/spez is a super cool dude and anyone who disagrees is a bad user.

But right now it’s bringing eyeballs to see the spectacle. To be effective these need to persist long past the point where it isn’t “fun” anymore.

Spez likely is looking at this and seeing:

He can make mods jump by threatening to move ownership of the subreddit

Numbers are up as people engage with this fad

Once users tire of this he can trot out the same threats and take over the subreddits anyway

Edit: just to make it clear I’m not saying I think this is fine for Reddit long term. I’ve just had this conversation with too many MBAs to not know this is how they’d look at all of this.

We all just lack spez's grand vision of a corporate future where we all are simply not allowed to avoid talking about Rampart.

But are there really any images of John Oliver not looking sexy?
