Iran's government is more hardline, its people are poorer and more isolated, the region's on fire, and the global economy feels like its about to go into shock

If you want to know why people wanted to avoid war with Iran for so long, you're finding out in real time

This part is WILD

This is what ecocide looks like.

Today is a great day to own an EV

This is no different from Putin saying MH17 was shot down by Ukraine or Assad saying rebels gassed themselves.

saving for later

Ruben Ray Martinez: Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stop The Department of Homeland Security did not disclose Martinez was shot by one of its agents until almost a year later.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.

"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

It's an interesting question. he was instrumental in today's win & kerkhez has a long way to go.

well, calmer now. the Wolves really seem disinterested at this point

given the loss to the wolves in the dying embers of the last game...i am nothing but nervous

It's 2-0 Liverpool and the Wolves are...content to bounce out of the tournament by the look of it

I do not like Szob as a right back. For the record.

Liverpool scores. Then, after the VAR, gets a 2nd goal. Cooking

He's obviously got a ton to learn. This game is instructive. But he's ready for the type of learning that games at this level provide.

The narrative is that Barca started Yamal because of his ability. That's probably only half true. They ruined themselves financially & buy anyone, so Lamal started his pro career earlier than is generally advisable. With Rio, Liverpool didn't have that issue...but I'd say he's ready

Rio is something special for sure. Can’t see why Gapko would ever start for this team again.

I would like to know what Gapko has on Arnie Slot

It’s truly amazing how quickly they move the goalposts

Bro this isn’t an episode of Homeland

Don’t blame me, I voted for the lady who would have continued our streak of positive job growth.

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying Trump impulsively acted in Venezuela and Iran, causing global instability, and suggesting spikes in instability coincide with revelations about the Epstein files. Below is a video still of Ocasio-Cortez speaking outside a government building.

Continuation of the same post showing Ocasio-Cortez arguing that if the Epstein files influence Trump’s decisions enough to risk global conflict to protect himself politically, it means he cannot make objective decisions for the American people. The image shows Ocasio-Cortez speaking on a walkway outside a building.

She's right, you know.

The key question for markets is whether that means the Straits of Hormuz and energy infrastructure in the Gulf will continue to be under threat through September. Because that is NOT priced in right now.

The follow up question infers disbelief which is pretty awful since this is all verified

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I’m reminded of that tweet that says that men were able to successfully cast themselves as the less emotional gender by redefining anger as not an emotion

Ok, NOW the US is doing war crimes.

Did anyone tell that to Iran?

Uzi strategy: say everything quickly and see if you hit anything. Desperation basically

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.
