Professor Vali Nast, Johns Hopkins: “The strike on Kharg Island could be a turning point in this war. Trump may see escalation as his off-ramp but so could Iran. The end will likely not be Iranian backing off but inflaming the Gulf.”
Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central headquarters spokesperson: “We urge Muslims in the UAE to evacuate ports, docks, and locations used by US forces in Emirati cities to avoid harm.”
To lose one strait controlling the global oil supply may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

Ms Rachel is raising awareness about Gael, a 5yo non-verbal autistic kid in an immigration detention centre (ie prison) in Dilley, Texas who hasn’t pooped in 9 days, isn’t eating much and has a distended tummy

The feeling I had when I learned that the number of men who ask their girlfriends to go hiking and then speed ahead leaving them lost is significantly higher than zero…
Also apparently many women hikers keep an eye out for lone women because they know this. 😭
Every pronatalist argument I’ve encountered seems like it could be solved by a robust immigration system that allowed more people to move here. The reluctance to entertain that solution tells you what the real concern is.
fuck me for being this person, i guess, but public universities are a civic good and shouldn’t be run like businesses. and if you’re going to insist on running them like so, at least do some market research. students like their professors; they don’t want MOOCs taught by ChatGPT.
Real try hard shit
The Settler's Maxim 😡
If you can murder why not steal?
💯, and then the rancid Islamophobia to seal the deal
Mamdani angers certain journalists and their bosses because he's a well-educated child of privilege like they are, but he's the way he is and they're the way they are and it shames them and they can't deal with it. It's not hard to figure out
I suppose it is nice to see the senate glass ceiling has been shattered for affairs by senators that wildly careen into ridiculously inappropriate professional conduct.
An FAA rule proposed during the Biden administration would have required companies like Elon Musk’s SpaceX to safely remove spacecraft from orbit within 25 years of launch.
The Trump administration recently killed the rule.
Tragic vs. sadlarious 😞
This family did not come to the US under Trump’s Afrikaner refugee policy. They arrived in 2006, so their kids were likely born in the US. Same with the other guy in this piece.
This is an article about immigrants to the 🇺🇸 no longer wanting to live there.
Excellent choice, especially if you grew up with TNG
When did your obsession with hot toxic women begin?
Phil Campbell (rip) playing Orgasmatron (which he cowrote) with Sepultura.
Especially in the Irish strongholds of the Northeast, it was VERY heavily felt - the US reactions to Bobby Sands's death are as good an illustration as any; there were memorials to him in Rhode Island being erected as late as 2023 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_S...
Yeah, as I said elsethread there is *far* more cultural/religious/political similarity between Ian Paisley and Jerry Falwell than between Paisley and any mainland British figure of the time (except maybe Mary Whitehouse)
There's some irony in Americans being less awareness of the Protestant side of the conflict during those years, as the DUP always seemed to me to be more similar to the then-emerging US Christian right than just about any other anglophone political movement in the world during the 1980s.
Exposing racism is a useful pass time.
I really do think the US has more cults than anywhere else and we dont even label some of ours!
SPEAKING Of our now lengthy threads about American perceptions of Irish politics (and Irish American politics) here's the new Bowery Boys Podcast episode on Creating the Streets of the West Village.
in hindsight, it feels like this was presaged by their dependence on articles that were paying someone peanuts to scrape some tweets. for every fantastic, substantive Buzzfeed article (and there were many!), you got a hundred “here’s 20 other people’s writing that we didn’t compensate them for”
That's definitely what tipped me off
World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament
Ireland: Okay, great!
World rugby: as long as England win their game.
Ireland:...
World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to-
Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.
