A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
Reporter: You just suggested that Iran somehow got its hands on a tomahawk and bombed its own elementary school on the first day of the war. But you're the only person in your government saying this. Why?
Trump: Because I just don't know enough about it.
An opinion that makes you a fringe radical in this country is that the life of a person who is not an American citizen is not an abstraction, and is worth just as much as that of an American citizen
Trump says US Navy sank Iran's warship off the coast of Sri Lanka because "it's more fun" to sink ships than capture them.
Oh, I love security controls that work "some of the time"!
Well, you vibe coded something, and it works. Would you be comfortable with releasing it as embedded software? If that piece somehow fails down the line you would not fix it? Or at least update it in the next version? Because we all know it will fail at some point
This is a good explanation of the illegality of the US war against Iran

The desalination plant is seen next to the coastline of Qeshm Is.
For context, Tthe US has bombed the desalination plant on Qeshm Island, Iran, disrupting water supply to 30 towns.

Social media screenshot of Dystopian Daily Just reminding everyone that if you don't like Iran's Islamic authoritarianism, it exists because the US overthrew a secular socialist Iran in 1953 because BP Was losing oil profits.
Remember, kids:
The US has been responsible for most coups around the world
"Also, if the code is working, there is no reason to touch it, is there?" LOL. Tell me that you have never worked with software, without telling me that you have never worked with software

i wind up tweeting this basically every time there's an article like this, but the fundamental thing to me: ask yourself whether you earnestly believe there's more social pressure to be trans, or more social pressure to be cis. it's actually a super easy one!
we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping
Is US media selection a process of simply eliminating anyone with a working brain and then picking the dumbest people left??
They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.
Medical experiments on prisoners?
Where have we seen this before?

Post a picture you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed
the war is unpopular but it's also illegal but it also doesn't serve any purpose but it also undermines diplomacy but it also is set to produce the opposite outcome as intended but it also already has hundreds dead and threatens more but it also will not make anything better for anyone but it also

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Beklager å si det, men det er ikke noe bedre i andre land. Konsertbilletter er tragisk dyrt overalt. Ingenting av det du beskriver er unikt norsk
