Wild that they traded in ambiguity and confusion for *this*

Iran Join Rick as he explores the most surprising and fascinating land he's ever visited: Iran. In a one-hour, ground-breaking travel special on public television, you'll discover the splendid monuments of...

Rick Steve’s’ Facebook post reads: “It’s just good style to get to know people before you bomb them.” That’s what I said 18 years ago when people asked me, “Why are you producing this TV show?” It was 2008, and President Bush was threatening to go to war with Iran. So, I did the best thing I could to bolster peace — I produced a public television special designed to humanize and better understand the people of Iran. Well, it’s 2026 now, and the USA under Trump has stepped into a void. What our country just did in Iran is like someone blowing up Mar-a-Lago to kill our leader…or blowing up the Kremlin to kill Russia’s. Or the equivalent in Ottawa, Havana, Taipei, or Sacramento. Regardless of how much you hated Khamenei, we’ve entered a new frontier in a world where long-established norms are crumbling. And who’s gone rogue? Pick up a flag and look in the mirror. Sure, there are people dancing in the streets in Iran — just as there would be if our president ended up dead under a pile of rubble, too. But Americans who are gleeful today don’t really understand Iran any more than those who were fixated on (or titillated by) Ted Koppel’s 444 days of the Iran hostage crisis 45 years ago. 1/2

The world’s a messy place. But that’s no excuse. As an American taxpayer, I believe that every US bomb that falls and every bullet that flies has my name on it. In the last year, our president (who won votes by promising to keep America out of wars and is now famously agitating for a Nobel Peace Prize) has dropped bombs on seven foreign countries — and each of those bombs has your name on it, too…including the one that just recklessly decapitated a nation of 90 million people in a war-torn corner of our world. I want freedom for the Iranian people as much as anyone. And I know that, with ICE-like forces, their government has killed thousands of protesters…thousands of Renée Goods and Alex Prettis. But I also know that, sometimes, patience and stability are preferable to saber-rattling, bombast, and chaos. If you don’t think you understand Iran (or even if you do), and you would like to gain some context for its current misery, this show is for you. Rather than debate the issues of the day, it was designed to help you simply appreciate the rich culture and endearing humanity of this long-suffering nation. I doubt you’ll be traveling to Iran anytime soon. So, let this be your opportunity to join me on a vicarious trip there and to get to know and better understand a people that, since that 2008 trip, have held a special place in my heart. 2/2

As usual, @ricksteves.bsky.social says it perfectly

I hate it so much

Also I can bike one handed now

Paved bike path along a winding river with green grass on either side and a cargo bike carrying kids riding on it. The sky is blue with a few wisps of clouds.

Another beautiful day in the south of France

Pretty sure there was an episode of The Daily about it, so that checks out

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

Ours was turned off last week and no one knew why, so we just turned it back on 🤷🏻‍♀️

Worked* in Venezuela?

*tbd

No, trump banned them from using anthropic! This is chatgpt’s war

Took all three kids to the doctor today. We don’t have our carte vitale yet, so it was 30€/kid. The doctor was so apologetic about how it was “so expensive,” and I was like oh hahaha mon amie, this is how much it costs in the US *plus* $600/month premiums.

Oh my god I thought this was real

If everything from an international treaty to a driver's license can be pissed on and flushed down the toilet, then what exactly are we doing here? Why am I paying taxes? Shouldn't I just stockpile food, water, and HRT and be some crazy swamp witch living off the grid?

Why are these straight white guys being nice to Trump and kash Patel and Fox News? Because they like them

Guys, the obvious answer they’re maga

Beetroot? What are you, British?

6yo “loves goat cheese and beetroot”

This is founding father’s erasure!!!

They’re literally meeting with Trump at the White House. No way I’d ever do that.

Took my kids to the dentist for the first time since moving to France 6 months ago, and my 8yo was able to translate everything for me 😊

I’m 36. When I was a kid, I thought we were moments away from our first woman president (physical embodiment of gender equality to a tween girl). Turns out we were—and continue to be—very, very far from anything like that. And that makes me so sad and mad for kid me, adult me, my own kids, all kids.
