Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

If gender were the immutable biological reality they claim to believe it is, they wouldn't need to spend so much energy policing it like this.

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

like im sorry maybe im too pragmatic here but im not gonna get teary eyed about an industry automatizing away the borderline slave labour large sectors of it rely on. we can leave pastoral romanticism in the 1800s where it belongs

Lebanon: Israel Unlawfully Using White Phosphorus The Israeli military unlawfully used artillery-fired white phosphorus munitions over homes on March 3, 2026, in the southern Lebanese town of Yohmor.

Human Rights Watch says they've verified that Israel has used white phosphorus on civilian populations in Lebanon.

#hobbystreak Day 2027: started painting the trousers, used a too dark brown on one and feel like I went a bit overboard on two of them, didn't do a good job of leaving the undercoat showing

The Spanish-German diplomatic crisis deepens: SΓ‘nchez appears to ghost Merz.
Since last week, "Merz has attempted to call SΓ‘nchez twice but failed to reach him. The chancellor left the prime minister a voice message and is waiting for a call back."

Met an auld lad earlier who told me his family dog ran out on to the set of The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965) during filming in Smithfield, Dublin, and his family all went to see it to see their dog on the big screen.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

This is an attack Gillick Competence, and without a doubt the beginnings of an assault on the supply of birth control to young people.

I was 17 when I started taking HRT. If you’re over 16, then by English law you can legally consent to your own healthcare.

Hezbollah descends on the Litani region, and Israel will have to divert resources
from Iran
The fact that the IDF invests most of its intelligence and air resources in Iran is the main reason why the terrorist organization is increasingly successful in harming soldiers and communities in the north: The ID's entry into Lebanon has brought the soldiers closer to the range of anti-tank missiles, and the Radwan force deployed in the field detects their movements from the ground and air - and carries out attacks. Eradicating the firing squads near the Litani will require diverting intelligence efforts and withdrawing
aircraft from fighting in Iran.

A lot of people denied it for the sake of political expediency before January 20th 2025 but the evidence is pretty much insurmountable: the Israelis as they currently exist actually can not sustain the kind of pan-aggressive posture they have towards the entire region without guaranteed US support.

This is why it is neither accurate to entirely place the blame on Israel nor accurate to say this is solely America's war. It is a symbiotic relationship and one that the US consents to repeatedly, under both parties, for reasons increasingly untethered from the reality of US interests.

If you need another country to replenish your munitions stockpile for interceptors, you are constrained by another power's will. If you need another country's replacement parts for jets, you are constrained by another power's will. If you need guns, bullets, mortar rounds, JDAMs, etc....

In case you haven't noticed, the United States hasn't only recently gotten in the business of killing innocent people, whether through a lack of care or through indifference. Making this about AI is to profoundly misapprehend the problem, to change the subject.

Exclusive: AI Error Likely Led to Iran Girl's School Bombing Pentagon investigators believe a bombing of a girls' school in Iran on Saturday likely resulted from inaccurate information provided by AI.

This reporting is frustrating. It's vague on the specifics of how AI is actually used in these contexts and manages to frame human decisions as technological inevitabilities.

Remember that Biden ran on restorationβ€”an easier goal thenβ€”and basically shot his (and Harris’) project in the foot by (1) backing genocide in Gaza and (2) not putting Trump in jail. Then Trump won and proceeded to destroy US soft power while using military power for blatantly imperial purposes.
