It's now obvious that the regime was comically unprepared for the possibility that Iran would fight back. In fairness, they're used to dealing with the Democrats.

When she said she hesitated about giving so much personal information to a big corporation but then the next line was that she uploaded her client's medical and psychiatric records ... is it ethical for me to claim CLE credit for this if I turn the sound off so I don't have a stroke?
I am watching a recorded continuing education session on ethical use of generative AI in criminal defense, and the lawyer giving this talk truly believes that Claude and ChatGPT have well-considered opinions and a sense of ethics. Jesus christ.
one upside of all of this is the revelation that the swinging dick bankers and big rah rah capital execs and billionaires are actually meek little scared dogs and president AOC or whoever (god willing) should walk them on a leash and make them drink out of a bowl
Me joining a boycott by accident because I would never set foot in a Chili's.
Chili's acting up is crazy, because they are dead last when it comes to the chains. Like, you do not have the pull to be trying people like this, Chili's. You are not Cheesecake Factory.
Seems like a new boycott just dropped. Let's see who ends up being the CostCo to their Target.
Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.
We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.
It shouldn't fall to trans people to explain to cis people why creating laws that effectively amount to "If you have or ever had a penis, you must behave this way; If you have, or ever had a vagina, you must behave this other way" is horrifically dangerous for everyone's rights.
Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong: "Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge. The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."
Nekima on the Target boycott.
That is such a great approach.
The death rate from using cocaine, the trafficking of which via boat will get you murdered by this administration, is likely far lower than the death rate from consuming raw milk,
All these fuckers throwing money into money furnaces all around us while other people starve and sweat about rent and just struggle to survive.
I know it has always happened but it is so overt right now.
Painful.
“Why do you want to shit on entire swathes of human endeavor and wreck the planet while you’re doing it? Why are you so determined to be awful and amoral? Everything about your priorities is messed up, and you should all be heartily ashamed, abashed and embarrassed.”
Love my new TV-advertised medication for my moderate to severe condition. Celebrating by going to the most sparsely attended farmers’ market and outdoor concert imaginable. Pickup basketball game with all my middle-aged buddies? Hell yeah. I am so back
That was my response to the NY Times AI quiz from a few days ago. I did pick three AI passages out of the five pairs. It's not bad. But I don't want to engage with something that wasn't created with a sense of purpose and meaning and intention.
"Wait Julius Caesar was a real guy? But Achilles wasn't?" MOM.
(My kids are tired of me not knowing who Charlemagne was. GOD MOM READ A BOOK.)
Was going to take a world history class this summer because I somehow got a whole poli sci degree without ever taking one, but I just cannot take any more online "discussions" that are just the same ChatGPT post over and over. I'm just going to read a book or two.
I am watching this Katie Couric interview with Gavin Newsom and fuck that fucking guy. She did not let him off the hook, though.
The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls
Yeah, I had to google him. That plus knowing which states have passed laws targeting LGBTQ kids or banning abortion -- they may or may not know those things but their terminally online mom can say, nope, Kansas is a hard no, without having to look it up.
I also feel like this person has no idea what it is like to be a high school senior in the 2020s. I am a lawyer and a working parent with lots of hobbies and I am significantly less busy than my kids are. My oldest chose her college, but parents did a lot of the research based on shared criteria.
I cannot imagine anything sadder than going to write a post on LinkedIn and then clicking the “rewrite with AI” button. If you aren’t confident you can meet the baseline tone of LinkedIn? I dont know, man.
Youth minister went to prison for tax evasion and called all the teens into a tearful meeting at the youth center to assure us it was a satanic plot. 16 years of never questioning, gone like that.
The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Yeah, I need to reread it, too. Keeping hoping my kids will pick it up.
(I know Dumas was not a white guy.)
Also if the men of the internet are looking for suggestions for their next Big Fat Book By A White Man: From Here to Eternity, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, A Tale of Two Cities.
I mean I think you should read some women and POC but these are solid.
