All of Jay-Z's problems were Luftballons.

Holy shit. This whole situation is even more of a debacle than I was expecting. (And I was expecting it to be a huge debacle.)

Vance was ‘skeptical’ voice in White House on Iran strikes White House officials revealed that the vice president made his opposition known in the leadup.

Vance briefing like a crazy man to make sure he doesn’t get dragged down by the coming political disaster.

Heggy Pete steps up to the podium every day like "I'M FIGHTING THIS WAR TO AVENGE THE HONOR OF EVERY SECOND LIEUTENANT WHO DIDN'T MAKE GENERAL BECAUSE HE HAD A 2.3 GPA AND BEAT HIS WIFE."

I wasted my life reading books and shit.

This motherfucker could be replaced with AI and no one would know the difference.

The U.S. Mint dropped the olive branch from the dime. What does that mean for the country? | Fortune The eagle turned to the olive branch to show the nation's preference for peace over war.

On the newly announced dime the olive branch is gone, but the eagle’s head is still facing left, stuck staring in confusion at the empty space where peace used to be.

I’ll give this administration one thing: they’re not subtle

Sarah Vaci is a "gender critical" artist who set out 4 years ago this month to create 100 portraits of "female detransitioners." To date, worldwide, she hasn't even found 100 to take part in her project, and at her current rate, it will take her 10 to 15 years to finish.

stories in roman history where an emperor secures a favorable peace treaty and then his asshole son is like "nah I think we can take them" and then gets his shit rocked for like a decade feel so real after watching the last decade of the Iran nuclear deal followed by this debacle

Found a candidate in Maine running to unseat Collins who doesn't have a certain other candidate's baggage, might be worth paying attention to!

I don't think it's good that the president is threatening the Iranian men's national soccer team with violence, tbh.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

We live in a world beyond parody. The United States has had four minesweeper vessels in the Persian Gulf for 35 years. Just yesterday these ships arrived in Philadelphia to be decommissioned, a day before Iran announces that they are mining the Strait of Hormuz.

“I’m seriously gonna kill you”

EVERY Navy vessel is a minesweeper.
