This is crucially important point.
1) "No quarter" is indeed specifically war-crime term
2) Under Geneva Conventions, after sinking an enemy ship, the attackers must "take all positive measures" to find and rescue any survivors. Text in next post
No evidence US sub did so after attack, AFAIK
The Look Back Machine did a video on this: youtu.be/6it8Tt8cewU?...
About time a prominent and respected YouTube content creator puts this wife beating degenerate in his place.
Once upon a time government officials in the US got just the tiniest amount of spine necessary to say "Hey, stop choking people" and the police have never fucking forgiven us for that.
American law enforcement is predicated on the idea that there simply must be someone legally authorized to beat the living shit out of people, and that legally authorized force must never ever be impeded by the law.
Say it out loud and it sounds insane, but it doesn't make it any less true.
Big Tech and Big Media donated some $63 million to a Trump-aligned nonprofit that was set up to help finance Trump's presidential library.
Now the nonprofit has disappeared and with it the money.
Three guesses on where it's gone.

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.
Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

Neopets has a partnership with a company called Geekify for all physical merch. Geekify ran a kickstarter a while ago for a Neopets TTRPG and raised around 425K to ship a unique noncombat focused TTRPG centering around the existing Neopets world and lore.
Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”
Took a brief break from the dystopia beat to write about something that's actually good
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.
Vaccines save lives.
That’s it. That’s the post.

Here is my cat Blue looking elegant.
The media of this era swallowing Trump's cock and balls whole without a thought is so insane that it's gonna be taught in schools. And I don't just mean media studies at the university level. It's gonna be in high school textbooks. A slush fund is a slush fund even if they give it a fancy name
do the MAR10
ONE PIECE season 2 is out today. For LA Times I profiled Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy, who plays Monkey D. Luffy. I encountered a young artist who knows how fleeting fame can be, and who is enjoying the life-changing ride. 🇲🇽🇯🇵

The ACC men's basketball tournament remains one of the great sporting events of our time.
OPINION: I asked a former Trump official to justify this war
So the case for Congress is, once we have gone to war, if they don’t like it, they can remove the money? Congress does not have a constitutional role in the declaration of war. Congress has a role in cutting off funds for wars, which it has threatened to do. And the president doesn’t have to get permission. But yes, you can debate, you can decide. That’s his choice in how he wants to do it. I mean, here I will quote the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power to declare war, grant letters of marque and reprisal, and make rules concerning captures on land and water.”
Behold the intellectual might of the conservative legal movement
Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.
One of the most destructive blind spots to the guys currently tanking our society is that they treat information like vitamins and believe it can be optimized.
1. They’re lying/wrong
2. It means the world is run by guys who think they have nothing to learn from a movie or song or play or stranger
A.I, overwhelmingly is for anime porn and Facebook boomer posts. We don’t have real data on how much it’s used but we do have real data on how cool it’s users *are* which is not very
I say this every year, but:
The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better.
With a new addition for 2026:
They deeply hate AI.
60 Minutes. A stopwatch. “Is NBC hiring? Lesley Stahl investigates.”
The Onion’s print ads are the best thing in the newspaper.
