Pentagon Should Focus on Defense Priorities, not Lavish Dinners, After Historic $93.4B β€œUse-It-or-Lose-It” September Defense officials typically enter the end of each fiscal year with at least one goal in mind: spend the rest of the military’s budget by any means necessary.

Things that I won’t use, even to mock or joke about it:

* Generative AI
* Incel slang
* MAGA or nazi imagery

Silicon Valley billionaires are learning the same lesson the rich always learn when they bankroll fascism:

Your wealth means nothing. Your power means nothing. You do not own the authoritarian regime. The authoritarian regime owns you.

Bet the rule of law is looking pretty fucking good now, huh?

Iran’s 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.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
