It's probably smart to heckle the country that funded and helped execute the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil in history

leaders like trump are why sun tzu had to write a bunch of advice like "don't write your enemy a letter detailing what tactics you really don't want them to do"

Fritos contain three ingredients: corn, corn oil, salt. People regularly disbelieve this because they think something unhealthy must have scary chemicals.

What I find interesting is Trump is claiming 'victory' even though there were no clear objectives or reasons to go into Iran in the first place.

His victory was blowing up a school and raining flaming oil on the streets of Tehran. And there's a good chance those were the actual objectives

This is probably happening at wherever you work in one form or another, too. This is just kind of how budgets work in large organizations. You have to spend the money so you can justify getting the money again next year. Even if you didn't need all of it this year, you might next year!

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

the last few times iran has accepted a ceasefire, the US and israel have taken the opportunity to restock their weapons and then surprise attack iran again. "there's zero point in engaging in diplomacy with us any more" is what that strategy teaches

The first ever winner of the β€œFIFA Peace Prize” is also likely be the first head of state to host a World Cup while bombing one of the participating countries.

Really is wild how two decades of getting their overpriced coffee from a sexually-ambiguous barista and then not getting to go to Dave and Buster's for, like, three weeks did to Americans what it took centuries of elaborate racism and a world war's worth of CTE from artillery to do to the Germans.

Nearly 6 hours since a GOP congressman said β€œMuslims don’t belong in American society,” not a single member of Republican leadership in the House will weigh in.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

We're bringing back every part of the Y2K zeitgeist, including the grumpy old man "I don't want a mocha-choco-latte, just GIMME A CUP OF COFFEE" energy

unreal how many people still believe the lie that Harris ran strongly on trans rights, when she talked about us LITERALLY ONCE during the entire campaign, and it was to say β€œI will follow the law. Actually that was a Trump 1 law so, he’s actually the weird one who loves trans people so much, not me”

Maybe they relied on AI to pick targets. But they bombed the school twice, hitting it again 40 minutes after the initial strike, in order to kill survivors and first responders. The mere *existence* of AI means no one has to be held responsible for this crime against humanity

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as β€œpointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

One thing I think about all the time is that Cinderella is treated as a rags to riches story (I mean, this is what β€œCinderella story” means), but the story makes clear that Cinderella is basically temporarily impoverished because of her father dying and stepmother taking over
