It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

"Let it be known that while in America, I always stood with the immigrant farmworkers who picked our food. Most recently, I stood in line at Erewhon to buy a nineteen-dollar basket of strawberries that they surely picked. All so I could bring a snack for the plane ride to Lisbon."

My New Doctor Asks Me If I’ve Ever Used Tobacco Products I lie because I don’t want my insurance rates to go up, because he has my family history right in front of him where it says both my parents died of lung cancer. Even if he’s too polite to say it, …

August on Island of Evia: Forest Fires – Kathryn Aldridge-Morris – Splonk In the oranged air a widow rubs the furrowed band on her ash-black skin where once she wore her wedding ring. She’d pawned it last winter in the shop beside the fish taverna where Leon had proposed; that entire street now scorched, like the thousands of hectares of fig trees, parched pines and olive groves. And for him to go choke on a fish bone? She tucks his urn into her shawl, crosses herself and apologises for the hundredth time that day – she knows, she knows – it was his mother’s ring. The flames advance on her home like debt collectors.

Working my way through the @wigleaf.bsky.social top 50 for 2025 and read this flash by @kazbarwrites.bsky.social -- ooof! Take a minute to read it. The ending....
