finding 800,000 patriotic American cowboys to volunteer for this should not be hard
A map of the strait region that suggests sending 800,000 cowboys with ten-gallon hats walking from UAE to Oman to drop off gas from one 8 million gallon tanker to another
I think I’ve figured out how to get around this Strait of Hormuz problem
Here's a new one: ICE detained a man in Utah who had been arrested for a suspected drug sale ... that turned out to be dried pinto beans.
Utah case was dropped but the man, who arrived in US as a minor and has deferred action, was transfered to ICE.

even if you think we're ookie and secretly wish you didn't have to look at us, you gotta understand it was never gonna stop at us. these guys literally think it's sinful and wrong to, like,iunno, take birth control or get a hair transplant or some shit. banning bodily autonomy altogether is the goal
private profits
public risks
and the public who absorb the risks and losses will rejoice in the glory of the private profits
very fun how so much of this stuff reduces down to “i wanted to be able to say slurs”
Perfect opportunity to post this all-timer for the unmitigated legend that is Frank Welker.
"'some guy named frank,' oh my god tumblr, show some fucking respect"
The part of this that got me was this dude canceling a grant about non-white, non-male, non-cis, non-straight people serving a country that doesn’t serve them back because mentioning any categories that aren’t cis straight white male is disallowed by executive order.
What share of appointed members of the Trump administration have as sophisticated understanding of the social and economic ripples from their Iran gambit than I - a non-expert who can read - do?
or is that ‘ymca’?

"karens who control oil prices" is a great addition to "everything is gender." what have they done to our poor "karen"
maybe this attitude is why I am bad with money and don’t have any
but also, good lord
“money story”
just saw a flyer for a campus event that invites people to “uncover your money story through art” and felt my skin turn into scales

@oelayat Mufti Naomi Wolf has consulted the sacred texts (Google Al Overview) and issued her fatwa quote tweeting Dr. Naomi Wolf @naomirwolf I asked Al, "Can you wear a crop top for Iftar?" As Rama Duwaji is doing: Al Overview It is generally advised not to wear a crop top for Iftar. Ramadan is a time for modesty and respect, requiring covered shoulders and knees. Crop tops, which expose the midriff, are considered too revealing for traditional, public, or family Iftar gatherings. Opt for modest, loose, or flowing, comfortable clothing. It is super rude by the way, in observant Muslim norms, for the hostess to reveal her midriff at an Iftar celebration in the presence of men who are not her husband and in the presence of Mahmoud Khalil's wife, who is veiled as is far more religiously customary.
still losing it at “Mufti Naomi Wolf has consulted the sacred texts (Google Al Overview) and issued her fatwa”
was wondering when this was gonna come up
can’t believe the US is still hosting this
we could see presidential mob boss threats like this against several other countries by the time the games start
I don't think it's good that the president is threatening the Iranian men's national soccer team with violence, tbh.

This is a good thread. Read it. I find this and the following tweet very interesting because the absence of reaction is actually why I identify as cis. To me, my sex, and therefore my gender are simply brute facts of the world. I don't have a sense of attachment to it, it happened to me.
All of American history is “controversial.” It is the story of different groups contesting over their visions of how the world should be.
"a mix between Amelia Bedelia and the guy from Memento" is possibly the greatest description of AI agents we will ever get
There are lots of movies we can use as a reference point for our present moment that are not as awful as IDIOCRACY!

Excellent way to run the world’s most powerful hegemony. No notes. All those ubermasculine MAGA men being tough.
The UN says up to 3.2 million people have been internally displaced inside Iran since the war started.
