Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the worldโ€™s most vital shipping lane.

It says a hell of a lot that first the Vice President and now top military brass are planting stories in the press in an effort to absolve themselves of responsibility for the calamity that is the Iran War two weeks into the damn mission. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose โ€˜targetsโ€™

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Will this induce any reflection at all from the "๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ" in display name crowd about how Israel's war of CHOICE has yet again screwed over Ukraine and handed Russia yet another lifeline? Any at all?

Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad youโ€™ll never want to do it again

I remember taking a college class where the professor said before the world wars if you asked Americans what made their country unique they would usually talk about freedom, liberty, or the constitution, whereas Germans were likely to say โ€œwe have a really good military.โ€

Florida Passes Bill That Lets DeSantis Remove Local Elected Officials From Office For "Promoting" Pride The bill could heavily impact LGBTQ+ activities throughout the state, and is the latest exercise in the erosion of democracy there.

1. Attacks on LGBTQ+ people have always been tied with the erosion of democracy.

Now, a bill has just been passed in Florida that lets DeSantis remove elected officials for promoting pride/LGBTQ+ people in their official capacity.

No court hearing necessary.

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

worth remembering, David Lynch directed โ€œfix your hearts or dieโ€ specifically at transphobes. it wasnโ€™t a generic โ€œno mean people allowedโ€ statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

The Titans adding a bunch of guys that got their HC and OC fired at their previous stops might be my favorite theme of the day so far.

AI fakes spread disinformation. Is the distrust they create even worse? Manipulated images undermine our shared realityโ€”and the democracy built upon it.

The primary aims of AI images targeting Trump's political opponents are, of course, to harass, demean, and discredit them.

But they have a secondary effect: to overwhelm the internet with unusable, false, unstable information, and then to mock the idea of finding out whatโ€™s true at all.
