Correction notice from the New York Times reads: “A correction was made on March 13, 2026: An earlier version of this article described incorrectly John F. Kennedy Jr.’s religious affiliation. Mr. Kennedy was a Roman Catholic, not a “WASP” (an epithet used to refer to white Anglo-Saxon Protestants).”
This is one of the funniest corrections I’ve ever read
Just now seeing they have indeed deployed US Marines.
Can't wait for the news to start trickling in about them getting blown up. All the "great sacrifice" talk, etc.
Imagine being deployed for a pedophile government to push for Israel's violent regional ambitions.
Diplomacy is not the be-all-end-all strategy. At some point, protest pressure and other actions are required in domestic politics.
Sticking to diplomacy while you're literally strapped to the chair waiting for the switch to be thrown is just posturing so you feel good, it doesn't get results.
Brendan Carr tweet: Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change! Trump "Truth": Yet again, an intentionally misleading headline by the Fake News Media about the five tanker planes that were supposedly struck down at an Airport in Saudi Arabia, and of no further use. In actuality, the Base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not “struck” or “destroyed.” Four of the five had virtually no damage, and are already back in service. One had slightly more damage, but will be in the air shortly. None were destroyed, or close to that, as the Fake News said in headlines. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (in particular), and other Lowlife “Papers” and Media actually want us to lose the War. Their terrible reporting is the exact opposite of the actual facts! They are truly sick and demented people that have no idea the damage they cause the United States of America. Fortunately, as proven by our Great and Conclusive Election Win in 2024, the People of our Country understand what is happening far better than the Fake News Media! President DONALD J. TRUMP
FCC to journalists: cover the Iran war the way the president prefers or lose your broadcast license.
"Your Honor, we request the removal of any full or partial videos of my client's deposition on the grounds that my client looks like a fucking idiot and everyone is making fun of him."
"Granted."
Fuck America.
It pleases me whenever I see establishment, centrist, moderate, etc minded people in America abandon civility. Not as a permanent state of being. This isn't about anarchy or whatever.
Civility has by demonstration not prevented (or made permissible) atrocities, ever. Sometimes you have to yell FUCK
I really want to emphasize here, "the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that."
This is very important. Civility is losing its importance, as it should, because no amount of civility counters or makes OK the abhorrent stuff the Trump regime has been doing.
Go figure with my name right?
I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.
A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.
It's gonna be reaaaaaaallllllllllly funny if this successfully baits him into reacting.
“Fuck! I’m dying!” during a press conference. “Fuck! I’m fucking dying! Oh God, it hurts! Ahhhhhhh!” Trump said in response to a question about the ongoing war in Iran
Once the imperial ambitions come to an end, everyone would have no choice but to focus on the material conditions at home. Which capitalism ruined and more people are finally going to realize instead of going "Socialism is Communism!" like idiots.
This was not Dennis Durkin, it was Blizzard CFO/COO Armin Zerza.
Zerza, perhaps the most controversial figure in Blizzard’s history, is extensively covered in Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment. As is the story of how Overwatch League impeded Overwatch 2’s development.
Holy shit the American Empire is about to end. He's gloating but the blowback from this, practically and economically, is going to be devastating.
Wow, Japan is making an internal move to help indie video game devs get going.

Just saw someone in passing refer to Godzilla as they/them and I'm like 😮
Can we televise it when it's Hegseth's turn?
"auto parts storage" was my third guess.
Please tell me that (rundown?) bus functioned as a club house.
Trump just declared that he’d ban trans women from the Olympics.
Only one openly transgender woman has ever competed in the Olympic Games in its history. In 2020. She did not win a medal.
This is fabricated controversy to fuel bigotry. Like banning trans women from owning nuclear weapons.
Frankly given the power SCOTUS granted the POTUS position, I would settle for someone running for POTUS who immediately directs a military action against Palantir upon being sworn in.
Establishment Dems: "We're going to push all the policies you hate."
Kat Abughazaleh: "I'm going to push all the policies you want, except this one foreign policy thing."
Dumb Leftists: "I'M VOTING FOR THE OTHER GUY FUCK KAT"
Actually kneecapping yourselves, holy shit.
Whoever invented tennis didn't know how to count.
Bodily autonomy is when you get told what to do and when to do it.
My huge yoshi plush wearing flight safety equipment with graham crackers and jack daniels
Flight attendants had to move my giant yoshi plush to an empty seat in the back because it was taking too much room in the ceiling compartment, look a what they did to him 😭😭
Screencapture images of CBC and NYT using a file photo of a body of water that vaguely resembles the left-to-right shape of the Strait of Hormuz, but which is visibly not nearly to scale. This is clearly a river or estuary system (complete with visible floodplains) and not the Strait. It is missing several cities that would be clearly visible at this scale. The photo was also taken from high altitude but clearly not from outer space, making the angle of capture impossible to fit Hormuz into the same frame.
So, I've seen this image come up twice now in news coverage of the Strait of Hormuz.
First it was The New York Times' "The Daily" podcast.
Next, CBC News' generally excellent "About That" webseries.
Folks, this is not the Strait of Hormuz.
I'm gonna be more mindful of not being around people who are permissive to bigots. If communities give me the stink of being majority occupied by those kind of people, I won't be there.
CBS News, state propaganda: "We spoke to a military official wearing the American flag saying they patriotically fired on an Iranian navy vessel but missed all shots just as patriotically."
Me: "Our military sucks, lol."
Republicans: "OH SO YOU'RE LISTENING TO IRAN LYING"
Just a reminder that the Democratic Party enables Republicans to do whatever damage they can when they’re in power and then cleans it up while telling everyone that they really wish things could change but it just isn’t time to do it yet. Because of the messes, of course.
They're not mining the Strait of Hormuz by the way because Iran is still permitting tankers through, depending on what nations they belong to. Mines are indiscriminate and would just target everything.
