We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we wonβt thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.

Itβs fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population β by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.
This scene from The Matrix has been on my mind lately.

AI is better than humans because AI doesnβt get cancer. So letβs build data centers that we know will cause humans to get cancer. Itβs a win all around.

Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.
βWeβre not starting a war, weβre ending oneβ was a Russian talking point on Ukraine β four years ago.
Don't worry everybody, there's a 22 yo in charge of counter terrorism and Kash Patel fired most of the experts in Iranian militant groups.
Patel fires FBI Iran experts just in time for war. Counter-terror generally has already been taken apart.

The good news is that if we lose in Iran and create horror across the region then Jesus comes back and fixes everything. Hegseth Doctrine.

There's a new Trump-Epstein statue on the National Mall.
It's an enormous statue, spray-painted gold, of Trump embracing Epstein in a reenactment of that famous scene from "Titanic."

Sometimes all I've got left is sarcasm. And when that runs out, I get serious.
"They promised us a very, very different future... That future hasn't arrived and I am frankly angry. I'm angry that these folks won't own up. I'm angry they won't tell the truth and I'm angry that this is a result of a series of absolutely insane policy blunders."
"oil prices up 50%... But I still want to emphasize one thing. Yeah, that hurts at the pump. Yeah, it sucks. But you know what's worse? War. And so we shouldn't trivialize the big issues here, which is, you know, we're at war with Iran. Big deal for young American troops. Big deal for the Iranians."
βWeβre in a Schrodingerβs tariff right now.β One proclamation says βa 10% tariff on the rest of the world,β the next post says βa 15% tariff literally effective immediately,β then the White House pretends he never said it.
The crack team who brought you the trade war are now in Iran.
This is real life.
Oh weβre weighing options *now*
Youβve got to be kidding me. President Bone Spurs and his incompetent White House are floating the idea of sending other peopleβs sons, daughters, moms and dads to fight and die in a ground war with Iran.
He swore he wouldnβt do this. He lied.
"No one could have foreseen that Iran might mine the Persian Gulf" except probably every fucking sentient being in the middle east.
my general theory in Trump/Iran is that Trump had the thought, 15 years ago or more, that going into Iran would be broadly popular, has never reevaluated that thought, and is currently shocked about how all this is going, while also possessing none of the skills necessary to stop it
Man if you all are not listening to @David_J_Bier then you are missing out. Dude has all the receipts
tbc itβs doubtful Harris will ultimately win, but it IS incredible that the runoff will now likely feature a Democrat *and* that the GOP is seeing this kind of competition in a district that went +30something for Trump less than 2 years ago
House district 14 special election showing Shawn Harris (D) with 43% of the vote to Clayton Fullerβs (R) 32.6%
Only half the votes are in and this is an extremely Republican district (home to MTG), but π
Whaaaaaat?

This press conference gave me chills. And not the good kind.
Itβs not the Save America Act, itβs the Stop Americans Voting Act.
QUESTION: What the hell does βno men in womenβs sportsβ have to do with voting?
ANSWER: Absolutely nothing. Republicans are trying to force Dems into bad optics.
Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels.
The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generationβs worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources.
Itβs time for accountability.
Fortunately for Donald, he's too stupid to realize that having other stupid people for fans is the *opposite* of flattering.
After revelations that companies like Ring have been selling home security footage to ICE, the most common defense of keeping a camera up seems to be, βBut what if Iβm stalked?β
And as a violence researcher, Iβm just here to state for the record that police do not care about your security footage.
