What's the fucking point

After Trump's "Operation Midnight Hammer" (no, really), he said Iran's nuclear enrichment capabilities had been "completely and totally obliterated" and therefore Iran's nuclear programme had been set back "by decades."

That was 248 days ago.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

this journalist describes herself as an advocate for women in Iran, but apparently that comes with an asterisk about being elementary school children in the path of a bomb

Seriously, every time someone says "it's a distraction from the files" I want to tear my hair out

The fascism and the warmongering isn't a distraction, IT'S THE POINT OF THE REGIME. THE FASCISM IS THE POINT.

This is what they came into power to do.

"it's a distraction—"

In what possible way? What indication was there that he was ever going to face consequences for literally anything. Our elected representatives don't care that he's in the files. They certainly don't care if he murders little girls.

It's almost like the FIFA Peace prize means nothing to him.

Nothing wrong with that, it's good to have a little ritual to get you in the mood to write a good spreadsheet.

Every bomb dropped destroys twice — and never only its intended targets

First, when it’s deployed

Second, as it poisons the ravaged landscape left in its wake:

Humans. Animals. Plants. The very earth that supports us.

Atrocity compounded upon atrocity

And to accomplish what?

We've got an incredible mix of content for you. From a deep dive into a classic Clive Barker film to an exclusive interview with a stunning new voice in psychological horror, and a look at a documentary that connects true crime to the birth of British folk horror. Check out the full line-up below:

"to each according to their need."

‘Everyone is 12’ theory of the US administration chalks up another win.

Reform is arguing that the dangerous extreme Muslims forced their wives and daughters to....vote for.....a white working class woman who believes in trans rights. Sounds great to me, my crying chums.

I think the thing that offends me most about this regime is how obvious they are about how unimportant our consent to government is to anything they do

You almost have to admire the hubris of trying to frame this as a “preemptive attack” when the ENTIRE PURPOSE IS TO PROVOKE A RESPONSE FROM IRAN in order to justify ongoing and more extensive strikes.

Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress.

The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

Our government must condemn this in the same manner they'd condemn Russia.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that?

And then they grew up to be even worse?

HORROR’S LOWER LEVEL: BEHIND THE CELLAR DOOR Basements in horror aren’t just where victims are hidden, they’re architectural decisions about what gets contained, buried, exploited, or sustained so the upstairs can remain intact.

Basements in horror aren’t just where bodies get hidden.
They’re where shame, class hierarchy, racial violence, and institutional cruelty are contained so the upstairs can pretend everything’s fine. 👻📽️

So unfair, isn't it??

The bad thing about this happening in a Labour seat is it gives the press a big excuse to ignore the fact Reform’s strategy is failing. They’ve now lost 3 in a row in 3 different countries to 3 different parties because their plan of coming through a split vote isn’t working. Their vote is too low
