eke

lol and also lmao

Like if these reports are true we are pretty much locked in for a global energy crisis! And it’s not anonymous reporting, the president is tweeting “Iran! Remove your mines forthwith!” And it’s not even on the NYT front page

its donald trump forbidding iran from mining the strait of hormuz forthwith

I do not give the IRGC or any entities associated with Iran permission to mine the Strait of Hormuz. With this statement I give notice to the IRGC it is strictly forbidden to mine the Strait. The violation of ukase can be punished by law (UCC 1308 11 308103 and the Rome Statute).

also the right time to do nuclear breakout was, in retrospect, while they had protection of a totally valid and legitimate treaty, because America could not be trusted to uphold it. this is actually quite bad

right! this is a classic "fuck you, that's why"

im sitting in a speedboat pressing the off button on my big remote but it's not working

the reckoning's coming for these motherfuckers

it is especially funny for trump to go "if they did mine it." the uncertainty is the point!!!

lmfao

coming into a new dnd game: "yeah my character's hated by snails because he spread a rumor about one of their sultans"

when has automation and technology ever helped the working class

we eliminated mass population-level malnutrition in the united states and i currently have no worries about whether grain will be available to me, this puts me better off than 99.9999% of all humans to ever live and it happened in living memory through technology

haha i just like the idea of doing the serious internet debate thing: mines are bad? alright got a source for that claim big guy?? where's your cites

"we still think we can steal this and you're blowing it up"

okay, sure, i'll bite: if they're *SO* bad what's the worst that could happen if a giant tanker hits one

CBS News: US assesses that Iran is mining the Strait
POTUS: thinking about the rather violent and destructive Carp

we're using the true invisibility stealth tech that Trump is always talking about

propagandists literally do not understand that you can see to the other side of the strait of hormuz

TACO is basically a self-soothing ideology

the media class is so deeply committed to the TACO concept that you can just say "Trump's seemingly retreating" despite this having no connection to anything the US military is doing or even things Trump said later the same day, or this morning

"so the size of the orange/yellow 'stikes' cover, ya know, an area the size of, like South Carolina, each."
"Yes"
"But you are just hitting, ya know, convential targets there"
"Yes"
"So the size of the color, that's like 'intensity?' or some other metric?"
"Oh, no! Absolutely not!"

its founders are perverts about something called atproto. no one who uses bluesky knows what it is

oh the bar's disciplinary folks don't like it when you ignore them and instead send angry letters to federal judges?

getting cartoon wolf eyes thinking about special operators

joni can't be talking about military insertions

like imagine you have all the issues of winemaking — your fruit starts fermenting the second you pick it — but also you're at 1800 meters above sea level and there are no roads and your farm is so steep it might as well be vertical in parts

there's a thousand other reasons why this is bad and alarmist but i was thinking about how, in particular, central american coffee farming is defined by labor shortages because people don't live in great density in high mountains and it's hard and dangerous to pick trees growing on a 60 degree slope

i missed the initial NYT story from a couple days ago and i expected throwing things and emotional abuse not "whole staff gathers in a circle while the chef assaults you" what the fuck

although i do think a fascist teenager will cancel your grant if you use the same person-first language

also just noting Talarico saying "undocumented people" a lot lol

woke's not dead, it's not even past
