What is so striking about this is that Iran was reeling from a banking and currency crisis to which the Islamic Republic had no answer, resulting in the protests and brutal crackdown. And yet, the US appears to have managed to reinforce resignation about the regime’s survival.

I hate IRI with every fiber of my being. The IRGC & its Basij arm made my teenage years a nightmare that Margaret Atwood could only imagine.
… but let me tell you that this is a blatant lie. There is no way possible that there are rocket launchers in Iranian hospitals & schools. This is a just lie.
Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
I don't believe for one second this is unintentional. He's doing this to humiliate his aides and cabinet members and honestly it's one of his best bits. It's fucking hilarious to see these clowns clomping around in shitty, ill-fitting shoes.
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
Apropos of nothing, the Bear Stearns funds blew up while I was off on a 10-day vipassana meditation retreat. I came out of it and it was, ok, we're in a credit crunch now. Anyone coming out of a meditation retreat today will be in for an even bigger shock.
Bear Sterns funds were blowing up in summer of 2007 well before almost anyone acknowledged that catastrophic conditions and circumstances were here
Once again, another example for the “fascists unable to imagine what it is like to be Another Person”
One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.
Firstly, this was an invasion. Secondly, they killed 41 people for the sake of some forty year old remains?
Can someone explain to me how any of this is justified ? How this not some of the most evil psychotic shit you’ve heard ? From the “only democracy in the Middle East?”

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!
The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman
God almighty. They killed the kids as bait.

The Iraq war was woke now
It will be the funniest thing to happen, ever, and then we'll just forget about them.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
There’s been a murder…
Lewandowski avoids doggie style because he doesn’t want to get shot.
A massive scandal in any normal information environment. As it stands, if anyone even bothers asking Trump about it he'll just say he has didn't know anything about the guy and that'll be good enough.
Just a reminder that the military wants you to blame AI when a school gets blown up or whatever because it helps shield the people who are actually responsible
Signed up for the updates that Marco Rubio was promoting for Americans stuck in the Middle East, to see what steps were being taken to get them out. And it’s no joke that there’s no plan. For example, this is what you get if you’re in Bahrain:
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
Thus far it's still somehow a less chaotic leadership rollout than Your Party.

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard
Guys, the Italian unemployment rate has just fallen below the UK's.
