Remember all those Russian wingnuts squealing about raining death upon Europe and so forth? Like that, except the IDF tends to make good on these threats.

Retired Israeli general Uzi Dayan on what to do about Lebanon: "We need to act fast and with full force. Occupy the territory, expel everyone who is located there, destroy everything there, and turn it into a death zone

Posting this here not because it’s at all new or unusual - this type of stuff has been standard for a long time in Israel, and really it’s only intensified in recent years - but because I feel a lot of people on this site maybe don’t encounter this kind of thing.

The Strait of Hormuz may be 21 miles wide, but the navigable channel is only three kilometers wide β€” making a perfect kill zone. About 1/3 of the world’s fertilizer passes through there. The spring planting season is here. The world’s most vulnerable will go hungry and Trump dismantled USAID.

V.A. Begins Drive to Put Some Homeless Veterans Into Guardianship

As the Trump administration wages a war of aggression abroad, it is also seeking expanded authority to place homeless veterans under court-ordered guardianships.

Part of a broaderβ€”and profoundly alarmingβ€”push to force homeless people into "long-term institutional settings."

It’s easy (more easy than accurate) to dismiss academic critics of generative AI as uninformed or emotive, which is often anyway code for β€œmoralizing.” But it’s remarkable how much gen AI boosterism requires feigning ignorance that theft and impersonation are widely seen as wrong, for good reasons.

Stolen from a NatGeo article:  dark eyes on the rump of a frog look remarkably like big black eyes on a snake.  The rest of the animal is mottled brown, almost wood-like in texture, and it's on a red sand bed with blades of grass visible.

Here's an image that requires a second look.

It looks like a creature with big dark eyes is peering at you: it's not. You're looking at a FROG'S BUTT (you pervert).

Let's meet the Cuyaba dwarf frog (Physalaemus nattereri). Maybe we should start with seeing the front of it?

One of the things I think people should grapple with is the easy description of β€œPeak Woke” as haughty moralism, only to then describe the β€œrace science” of the right as a secret thrill. Feels like the β€œwoke” people knew about the race science, but even in these mea culpas, it can’t be said.

I’m all in favor of welcoming people who made a mistake and want to change things, but maybe we should stop treating them like special darlings for flip-flopping on whether they believe in race science because they got a B- from an adjunct professor with a septum piercing

🚨 WAIT. Please don’t scroll. Odai is in severe pain every single day, and doctors say his surgery cannot wait. Every hour lost could steal his chance to walk again. Time is running out and we’re still far from the goal. Even $5 or one share can help save his future.

Pie chart showing that nearly 2 million people are incarcerated in the U.S.

Pie chart showing that nearly 2 million people are incarcerated in the U.S.

🚨NEW: Last year, the number of people incarcerated in the U.S. increased again. The driving factor? President Trump’s deportation agenda.

Our annual report, The Whole Pie, gives the big picture of mass incarceration. Here are some key takeaways 🧡

Compared to the stuff journalists knew Mandelson was up to that wasn't considered noteworthy at all, this looks like the usual double standards, and people are both onto it and incredibly tired of it.

Incredible that you all think you can do this a second time, tbh.
