Likelihood of any president in the future apologizing for us obliterating an entire school of children?

I was skeptical but Mamdani has really done a number on Trump
characteristically good work from Serwer. again saying: we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him
fresh @leftanchor.bsky.social episode, we are zooming out to try and get a better look at the Jeffrey Epstein story, given all the emails we've seen. how did *this guy* end up as a linchpin of the global elite? www.leftanchor.com/e/the-epstei...
as a human who sometimes has to pee i would like more public toilets
The solution to public urination is housing and public toilets and this is obvious if you understand the people you are talking about are human beings.
you have to read to write. a lot. Like you have to read way more than you write for your writing to be worth anything. there are zero exceptions to this
Look, the states are willing to help calculate whatβs owed!
People keep hanging with the President, not understanding that everyone who comes in contact with the narcissist will eventually be smeared.
"Fascism is a word that Disney asked Gilroy to refrain from saying during the earlier promotional phases of Andorβs spring 2025 release. "

This new Lancet study would indicate that the death toll in Gaza is actually around 120,000 at minimum, if the undercount rate is similar since January 2025.
Follow up: @msifry.bsky.social has a good piece on this new thing. theconnector.substack.com/p/this-machi...
