Nine months ago, the United States "completely and totally obliterated" Iran's nuclear program.

Tonight, we're attacking Iran to disrupt their nuclear program.

A sizable percentage of this country thinks that's normal.

NBC: “Are you committing your missiles won’t have the capability to reach 🇺🇸?”

Iranian FM: “Yes.”

NBC: “Then why are you bombing our bases?”

Iranian FM: “Because they’re attacking us.”

“There was no imminent threat from Iran to 🇺🇸 that would warrant sending our sons and daughters into another war in the Middle East.”

Explosions rock Dubai, Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait as war spreads across Middle East War launched by US and Israel on Iran has quickly escalated prompting anxiety and concern in whole region

🤦🏼‍♀️

debate among friends wrt the strike targets is whether or not the targeting of a school was on purpose.

it doesn't matter, bc they're not trying to pretend to distinguish military and civilian lives.

it would be woke and soy to care about dead children to these people.

wow no shit, maybe should have thought of that first

I served in the military for 20 years. Afterwards, I devoted another 25 years directly supporting the military, as contractor and civilian.

For those serving now, you are either participating in or supporting an illegal war. The orders to commit were illegal. You have an obligation to resist.

Hard to argue

Hey Congress!!

United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8)Congress holds the exclusive power to formally declare war, authorize the use of military force, and raise/support the armed forces.

How does it feel to be nuetered?
What are you doing?
SERIOUSLY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING????

Sadly tonight we will wrap up watching @titusw24.bsky.social in Bosch and Bosch Legacy. I’ve loved both shows since day one, and now my wife is a new fan. We both had tears when we saw Lance Reddick’s final on screen appearance. But we also laughed at his final “Fuckin Bosch” line❤️

This this this! Though I'd argue the Maduro regime is still the Maduro regime, too.

Cafe Bara board game on a table at Barnes and Noble

Went to my local Barnes and Noble where my friend demos the Board Game of the Month, which is Cafe Baras. A game where you are a capybara running a cafe. Had fun.

“Of course,” Astrid says with great professionalism. “There are many wonderful women-loving-women stories to choose from. Do you have any other parameters for me to narrow the search for you? Do you like stories set on the high sea? In the Old West? Or maybe with a speculative element, you know, like—” “Like in Barbarella?” Gus Anderson’s eyes light up. Astrid has only the vaguest impression of a young Jane Fonda in a skimpy outfit on the Barbarella movie poster, an image that serves the male gaze as its raison d’être. “Comparable titles in the sense that these stories are also set in the future, or in space, or sometimes both,” she says firmly. “Would you like some recommendations?” “Absolutely.” The old man sounds giddy. “Bring them on.” Astrid writes down This Is How You End the Time War and Gideon the Ninth for him, and then personally takes him to the stacks to retrieve The Stars Are Legion, by Kameron Hurley. “There isn’t a single man in this book. Everybody on this planet is a woman.” “Oh, my!” Gus Anderson, his head probably brimming with images of thousands of chicks making out with one another for his delectation, checks out the book and leaves happily.

A fan messaged me about this passage from Sherry Thomas's book, "The Librarians," in which a librarian has an annoying older male patron ask her for some woman-on-woman sf😂

They say 'the machines of the future' will be as smart as people... OK, but WHICH people? Because it kinda matters quite a bit.

I googled this and it’s true. How can we have bragged about ourselves for my whole life? We are basically gaslit all through school. The pledge of allegiance. God bless America. The national anthem. I feel like I’ve been bamboozled.

ICE recruits should be the first ones shipped off for “war.”

Seems to be the pattern…

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

This tweet gonna go into the Twitter Hall-of-Fame in terms of how terrible it aged.

She's probably got her iPhone listening into the meeting as well, to keep notes for her.

Such colossal idiots, all of them.

Susie Wiles is wearing an Apple Watch during a highly classified meeting on Iran.

Unreal.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.

I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.
