I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.

Not that you need to do this for Trump but: You can just write negative stories based on nothing!
Greatly enjoyed Pollock making a rickets of it near the end

The French are playing very Frenchly.
"It used to be that, for many, many years, we would see clips of settlers attacking Palestinians while I.D.F. soldiers stood idly by, doing nothing to stop it... Since October 7th, there has not been even a pretense of a buffer between the violent settlers and the Army. It’s the same people."
This is the Broch for ye. Somalian lad wandered onto the pitch at the end of the warm up a couple of weeks back, collecting fitbas and cones of his own accord in soaking jeans in the pishing rain. Got a few looks of "fa's iss 😂" but now he's been given a tracksuit and an official role ♥️
This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
I love that he gives a big shoutout to Adam Smith in Capital for being ahead of the curve in calling landlords economic leeches.
Marx had something about these people being the vanguard of all fascist movements
Working down the fascism checklist already

Map of the ME showing the two straits
Yemen’s Houthis have announced they’ll be joining the war in support of Iran shortly. Analysts expect them to shut down another strait, Bab El-Mandeb, which will close the Suez Canal. The global economy hangs by a thread.
Trump to the UK, 6 March: "We don't need them any longer... We don't need people to join wars after we've already won!"
Trump six days later: Publicly begs for the UK to send warships.
"I ASSUMED the US Military had an active plan to open the Strait." How can people who are paid to understand geopolitics be so bafflingly naive?
His anti-Muslim and pro-mass-deportation videos have gone viral with millions of views. Advance UK, the far-right party led by Ben Habib, paid the anonymous group behind him to produce a range of propaganda pieces. But English-Nationalist “rapper” Danny Bones doesn't actually exist @tbij.bsky.social
