I’ll say this: I’m not trans, but every day that goes by with this Administration & its executive orders & its legislative actions & its court rulings & Hegseth’s speeches makes me “appreciate my sex” less & less. More like completely ashamed by the behavior of too many others who share my sex.
Don't worry, the President's worst impulses on war are being checked by his advisors who are afraid to tell him that the shoes he gave them are the wrong size
Need to repeat what I wrote because it has become even more relevant: bsky.app/profile/left...
The “common ground” being an addiction to war and fealty to Israel.
“CNN operates in Iran with the permission of the Iranian government, as required under local regulations, but maintains full editorial control over what it reports.” Can they say the same about Israel? No, they’re operate under full Israeli military censorship.
The US and Israel launched a war of aggression, the “supreme war crime” as described at Nuremberg. Has the EU sanctioned the US or Israel as a result? No, they’re sanctioning Iranian government officials. 😡
Between Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers, & the Warriors sucking, I’d stopped watching the NBA & limited my basketball watching to the UConn & Iowa women’s teams (watching UConn play defense is mind-blowing; best I’ve ever seen). But I still can’t believe a guy I’d never heard of just scored 83 points!
Today in 1918, when the “Spanish flu” broke out…in Kansas! A case of misnaming almost as bad as the “Havana Syndrome”, although at least the flu actually existed.
Ah, the good old days back in 2025 when the ICC arrested people for killing unarmed drug dealers without a trial.
Something a little sick about eating reindeer soup while you’re watching reindeer races. Imagine that happening at the dog track. 😳
Since this NYT analysis of the damage Iran has inflicted on US installations in the Middle East was based largely on satellite imagery, I can’t help wondering if they’ve done a similar analysis on damage to Israel but have chosen not to publish it.
Hard to imagine a take more insane than this. 🤦🏼♀️
Duh. I hope that wasn’t your first clue. 🤦🏼♀️
The bigger screen is addictive.
“The outbreak of fighting between the 2 countries.” Classic “both sides” misdirection. A war of aggression (the ultimate war crime) was launched by the US & Israel. There was not “an outbreak of fighting”. 😡 And Trump is only “welcoming” Iran to come so he can encourage defections & embarrass Iran.
The price of their dependence on…the US. If only EU countries had arrested Netanyahu and sent him to the Hague this wouldn’t be happening.
I can’t believe that not one but all three players on tonight’s @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social missed this Final Jeopardy. I was shocked.
Good night from Cupertino.
😡
Celebrity with influence over young people criticizes other celebrities with influence over young people for using their platforms, while describing some of the best evidenced claims anywhere as “unevidenced claims”. 🤦🏼♀️😡
While you’re waging an insanely expensive illegal war, make sure to deprive the government of money so they’ll have an excuse to cut spending on human needs (exactly what the Republicans want). 🤦🏼♀️
“As a westerner, your one and only duty is to oppose the depravity of the western empire. That's your only job.” 💯
US & Israel launched a vicious, illegal war on Iran &, AFAIK, not a single country has expelled an Ambassador, much less suspended relations. Cuba is being starved of vital oil & the world has done…nothing? Is that Russian ship still coming? Is Mexico still “thinking about it”? 😡😡😡
Carol knows what’s up!
And of course this:
Capitalism and especially one addicted to war will never stop climate change if it can’t even support mass transit.
In case you believed Trump when he said the war was about over…
I just have to figure out one that’s not included but sounds like it should be in order to get a nice question. I’m workshopping rhubarb.
I hate AI being used for war (& more) as much as anyone, but the term is also being overused. Feeding a computer lists of Iranian military sites & then having it spit them back out again as a list of targets has nothing to do with “AI”. Blame this on improperly human-checked input, not the output.
One of my favorite all-time comics (the strip itself and this panel).
