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 β€œIranian state media”

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Surely nothing bad has ever happened when a critical mass of the population feel that their future has been ripped out from under them and that the only thing they have to look forward to is the steady erosion of their standard of living. Surely that always turns out fine.

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.

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Dropout cast member Vic Michaelis speaking with police officer from The Rookie on the Game Changer set.

Absolutely devastated to learn that @dropout.tv and @samreich.bsky.social has teamed up with ABC’s β€œThe Rookie.”

Supporting dropout felt an ethical and moral choice. I guess there really is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Remember Dropout, β€œPolice are basically an occupying army.”

deeply disappointed that @dropout.tv is doing this copaganda bullshit (a Game Changer crossover with The Rookie). the function of The Rookie is to manufacture consent for the LAPD. congrats, that's now the function of Game Changer too.

Only in the sense that the people who launched it without a plan or objective all get pretty defensive when criticized.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

It's amazing the way these people can speak with such brazen confidence while revealing that they are scrambling for a solution to a foreseeable problem they've obviously never thought about before. Guy who demanded to fly the plane trying to sound cocky on the PA while asking GPT "how do i land."
