Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
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
As I have said since Feb 2025, Trump is in office to solve Putin's problems. How else are you going to ensure that Putin's failed state becomes prosperous? it is already having to be propped up by China.
Pete Hegseth is one Iran update away from showing up smeared in fake blood, war paint and holding up plastic skulls.
I'm really sorry Crockett won't be an elected official in 2027, but I hope she stays in politics.
Facing a looming Russian invasion of Europe, and an out of control US, Israel, and Iran, France's President Macron announces that France will expand its nuclear arsenal, no longer disclose the size of its nuclear stockpile, and add 8 countries to France's nuclear umbrella.
I think you are confusing "Trump is easily outmaneuvered by stronger personalities plus he can make money in Gaza if the Israelis allow it" with AIPAC's actual influence outside of Trump's leanings toward kakistocracy.
Elon Musk contributed $291 million in 2024. There were multiple billionaires who contributed more than $50 million each to Republican causes and candidates that election cycle. I think you're vastly overestimating Israel's influence.
who made this
Clearly not as outrageous as wearing a tan suit.
I just had an existential crisis start after I read this.
According to WaPo, Saudi Crown Prince MBS, who has invested in excess of $3 bn in Trump family businesses, made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a US attack on Iran, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
If anyone out there needs something to uplift them tonight, I encourage you to watch the NAACP Image Awards, it's nothing but smiles and celebrating Black excellence.

Ridiculous. But Trump has definitely got this money's worth from her
Thank you to Greenland for providing emergency medical care to a US sailor on board the submarine, since we did not have adequate resources in the area to treat him. Iβm sorry that our president felt the need to cover up our shortcomings with a deranged ghost hospital ship post.
While weβre debating whether or not Trump called into C-SPAN using a pseudonym to rant about the Supreme Court, letβs not lose sight of how weβre all in agreement this is something he would do and this is the person with the nuclear codes.
Well, they would be, since it's not their nightmare. ;)
It's Sunday, the start of the calendar week, and we already have our presidential wtaf moment.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the visible corruption and wounded vanity of Thomas and Alito. Totally a coincidence.
Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Allow a persuasive shameless liar convicted of 11 times more felonies than Al Capone to run for president.
Expect the most powerful criminal enterprise in history.

Only once people admit that the entire Ukraine-Russia negotiations process being orchestrated by the USA/Trump is first and last a sham designed to help Putin as much as possible (and provide massive payoffs to the administration), will people be able to discuss it honestly.
A couple more notes on the minutes.
Last year at every meeting until December, the staff forecast called for inflation to return to 2% by 2027. In December, the forecast pushed this back to 2028.
But in the minutes for the January meeting, no date is specified for when inflation gets to 2%.
Musk on Twitter 2/17/2026: You can just take a picture of your medical data or upload the file to get a second opinion from Grok
Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the "before" scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent "area of concern" in my chest. Other than that, works great!
Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."
iβm using it for a column but i want to share here this line from lincoln on jefferson because it is applies to our situation as well. you can find it in his april 6, 1859 letter to henry l. pierce.
Even Grok acknowledges that the so-called βSave America Actβ (backed by Trump & Musk) may undermine the security of our elections by creating a Single Point of Attack for voter roll maintenance via the Save Program, which links to an SSA database mishandled by DOGE. #NoOnSave #ProtectOurVotes 1/
