AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

Wounded Knee. Tulsa. My Lai. Abu Ghraib

And now, Minab

We need to talk about the horror when 180 little schoolgirls, boys and teachers were obliterated by U.S. Tomahawk missiles last week. And tell Congress: Not one more dime for these war crimes

As we all know, when you meet someone at a bar they are legally obliged to tell you the truth about their entire life.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

bezos bought a prestigious national investigative newspaper so he could gut it and run "consider setting a monthly budget" and "pay off your credit cards" tier financial advice columns like those blogs with adsense spots on all 4 corners of the screen

I find it baffling that, just from a purely cynical standpoint, they don’t just adopt the default position of β€œif Trump does it, it’s bad.” They’ll be right 98% of the time and attacking your opponent weakens them

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Human actors don't need a whole team behind them to have personalities, backstories, etc. Who is this even for?

Thomas L. Friedman, columnist at The New York Times
"D-Day" by Thomas L. Friedman, The New York Times, March 19, 2003:
But here we are, going to war, basically alone, in the face of opposition, not so much from
"the Arab Street,' but from "the World Street." Everyone wishes it were different, but it's too late -- which is why this column will henceforth focus on how to turn these lemons into lemonade. Our children's future hinges on doing this right, even if we got here wrong.
The president's view is that in the absence of a U.N. endorsement, this war will become
"self-legitimating" when the world sees most Iraqis greet U.S. troops as liberators. I think there is a good chance that will play out.

Thomas L. Friedman on The Charlie Rose Show,
May 29, 2003:
What they [Islamic extremists] needed to see was American boys and girls going house to house-from Basra to Baghdad-and basically saying:
Which part of this sentence don't you understand?: You don't think we care about our open society? You think this [terrorism] fantasy [you have]-we're just gonna let it grow? Well, suck. on. this. That, Charlie, was what this war was about. We coulda hit Saudi Arabia....We coulda hit Pakistan. We hit Iraq because we could.

Again, I wrote about this three years ago. Here's what Thomas Friedman had to say about Iraq in 2003. Now he's writing a piece for NYT saying this new war might be a good thing. www.readtpa.com/p/where-are-...

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse

Your building's shoddy wiring led to the total destruction of her apartment and almost all of her belongings, and left her bouncing from to friend with her dog, and you have the audacity to respond "we will not be able to move ahead with the apartment"?!

My neighbor, whose apartment was destroyed in our building fire a couple of weeks ago, applied to rent an apartment from the same management company up the street and was denied the apartment with the same sort of civility you'd see in a form job rejection email.

UEFA and FIFA may get a red card at the ICC for ignoring Israeli violations A landmark referral of UEFA and FIFA leaders to the International Criminal Court could set an important legal precedent.

The ICC filing vs. the FIFA and UEFA Presidents is an opportunity to prove that international law still existsβ€”and that collaborators in Israel’s grievous crimes will actually be held to account.

This complaint must just be the beginning.

We explain for @aljazeera.com.
