Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

When a US missile killed 160 children, president shits-a-lot claimed Iran stole the missile and fired at the school. When asked why he was the only one making this claim, he said "because I just don't know enough about it".
Go ahead. See if you can make this make sense.

We are facing an energy crisis. Britain is the worst exposed in Europe with only 2 days gas supply stored. If only we had our own gas to exploit. Or our own oil. Or our own coal.... Blame @Ed Miliband (Allison Pearson on X)

If only we had clean, renewable energy and were not beholden to a dirty, expensive, dangerous commodity that pollutes our environment and is the source of most of our geopolitical woes.

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE.

In their remarks, neither Pete Hegseth nor Dan Caine this morning addressed the girls school that was bombed.

They did not get A SINGLE QUESTION about it from people they called on in the room loaded with right-wing hacks.

This needs traction. @netflix.com #hulu #disneyplus #disney+

LFG!

Thanks for all the updates, Tashan! Easy catch up here on all things Commanders w/ your feed today. Love it. Much appreciated.

Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.

The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.

Jeff Bezos’ management of the Post is representative of how America has swung from For The People to For The Rich.

Bezos promised valiant stewardship of an important democratic institution, but lost interest. When he started meddling, he hurt the business. Now he’s firing people for *his* choices.

I haven't liked to talk about politics on this account. I wanted to have a fun spot for Vikings fans, like me.

Many have been scared of backlash, losing friends or followers... but I am saying clearly:

1 am NOT okay with reckless violence condoned by the Trump Aministration. I am NOT okay with people being murdered in own own communities.

1am NOT okay with people being taken from their homes and families being ripped apart. lam NOT okay with people being denied due process.

Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it

A feature I'd love to see on major streaming platforms: a video queue. Aside from YouTube, I'm not sure any (Netflix, Disney, Peakcock, etc) have it ... set up a queue on laptop & it works on your TV. #TiredPapa BSing here... but that would be an amazing feature. So many possibilities!!! Playlists?!

LOTR will always be relevant, I don't care what anyone says

@tashanreed.bsky.social @tomschad.bsky.social curious if he gets title & playcalling. Also curious how Brian Johnson figures into things. Thanks for the great reporting. Will be following these hiring stories!

From another perspective, a book we surely all read (1984, Orwell): “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Legend. Shreds. Love him

great read. thanks, Tashan

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their

Boycott CBS.

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Yessss!! Full view interview, stoked!!! There isn't a YouTube channel w/ all of these full interviews, is there? I think it's normally a clip, right?
