Bellingcat has geolocated eight videos showing US Tomahawks cruise missiles in Iraq heading towards Iran. The missiles appear to be flying low across valleys and were most likely fired from the Mediterranean sea, an expert told us.

Each of these data companies touts its stable of pedigreed experts. Mercor says around 30,000 professionals work on its platform each week, while Scale Al claims to have more than 700,000 "M.A.'s, Ph.D's, and college graduates." Surge Al advertises its Supreme Court litigators, McKinsey principals, and platinum recording artists.
That project soon ended and then came another. It was nearly identical to the first, which she had enjoyed, but now, on top of writing rubrics, she had to stump the model and complete the more difficult task in the same amount of time. She was also getting paid $8 an hour less. This is common at Mercor. Nearly every worker I spoke with reported that demands increased, time requirements shrank, and pay decreased as projects continued. Those who couldn't meet the new demands got "off boarded" and replaced by new recruits.
This is what concerns her more than the AI itself: that it's bringing to knowledge work the sort of precarious platform labor that has transformed taxi driving and food delivery. Meanwhile, she watches in horror the desperate gratitude of her colleagues as they rejoice at the 7PM announcement of incoming work.
Thousands of workers poured into the new Slack only to discover it was the exact same job, now paying 24 percent less. All but two of the Slack channels had been deleted, including the watercooler, support, and help rooms. The ability to direct-message one another had also been cut off. There were no team leads to be found. With no one to ask for assistance, workers flooded the main rooms with pleas and indignation.
This is so incredibly bleak. A must read about the great expertise extraction from highly competent precarious professionals. A giant sucking sound as brains get extracted by malevolent billionaires (Gift link) www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

New footage reveals an apparent U.S. or Israeli strike near a boys' school in Abyek, west of Tehran, on Feb. 28. Satellite imagery suggests a comms tower was the intended target, but flying debris killed a child on the playground. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/w...
EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.
The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.
Oh the world is bleak? Yeah? Regional conflicts are spiraling? Well there’s a new Mitski album. So you know. I think you might just not have your priorities in order.
The widely used satellite imagery provider, Planet Labs, has announced there will now be a two week delay on imagery related to the current conflict in Iran to commercial customers.

Opinion | By killing schoolchildren en masse, we are giving Iranians the freedom and liberty that Americans have enjoyed in Littleton, Newtown, Parkland, and Uvalde.
The war with Iran is barely a week old, but more than 330,000 people have already been displaced as a result of intensifying hostilities, according to the UN.
Keep in mind that the affected regions already host 24.6 million forcibly displaced people.

But fear not! I just remembered that we have some ham in the fridge, which my mom gave us when emptying her fridge before a trip (we don’t really eat meat).
This video of the damages to the Chehel Sotoun palace in Isfahan is hard to watch. The finest example of Safavid architecture, the palace is a marvel of art & architecture that has survived more than 400 years. It is unbelievable that the “most moral army in the world” has cared so little about it.
Oh, I'm all in favor of limiting casual infliction of trauma on social media!
