How many of our service people will be dead by July?

I saw all these dudes heads on spikes in Game of Thrones season 3

Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends.

It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

Make Guillotines Great Again

Video appears to show U.S. cruise missile striking Iranian school compound The seven-second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike.

The Iranian girls’ school was hit by a US tomahawk cruise missile. NPR has confirmed the footage.

In a time of so much hate, this is beautiful

For Mahmoud Khalll, this past year has been marked by profound hardship-and by profound courage. A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

In a dining room, five people eat, chat and smile around a table of food.

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

IMPORTANT & BREAKING: Iran's IRGC says any Arab or European country that expels the ambassadors of Israel and the United States from its territory will, starting tomorrow, have full authority and freedom to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Yes I earn more... it doesn't matter. Also he's a registered contractor at A Big Home Repair Store so we save 10%+ on bulk orders.

Great thread. Even *now* with both of us working, I do side gigs/consulting and my husband does all our home repairs/ upgrades himself (except electrical plumbing because duh). He has saved us, easily, hundreds of thousands in the last 5+ years (basement, new shed, retaining wall, attic). It's equal

Has anyone tried turning the US off?

Holy shirtballs

LOL the US and Israel are only in charge of death and destruction

Has anyone asked Iran what it wants? Because they'll be getting it.
