I kind of wish Iran did have nukes

I love every dumb thing about it right down to the final seasons where the writers started pitching shit like haunted Brady Bunch

A non-graphic video about the power of images in a world dominated by overhyped tech being flagged as graphic by Bluesky is enough techno-dystopia for me today.

Hahahaha holy fucking shit if anyone ever doubts their stance on any issue just look to Van Jones as an anti-compass and do the exact opposite of whatever this corrupt asshole is doing.

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

This is practically an endorsement of Iranian proliferation www.axios.com/2026/02/28/t...

"the bombings will continue until world peace is achieved" glad we've finally got the Trump Doctrine sorted

Chuck Schumer: ‘The American People Deserve A President Who Can More Credibly Justify War With Iran’ WASHINGTON—In a pointed critique of President Trump’s foreign policy leadership, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated to members of the press Thursday that “the American people deserve a presid...

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Decapitation strike against a country that does not pose an immediate threat really can’t be the power move they think it is?

Watching dozens of planes execute 180 turns on flight radar. What a shit show.

Lot of planes about still between Israel and Iran.

White House officials believe ‘the politics are a lot better’ if Israel strikes Iran first As the administration mulls military action in Iran, officials argue it’d be best ifIsrael makes the first move.

For context, Politico reported Wednesday that the Trump regime thought it would be better optics if Israel bombed Iran first so that America could just appear to be helping an ally rather than starting a new war

Israel's Fighter Force Stands To Be Far More Effective With Full USAF Tanker Support In A War With Iran The Israeli Air Force could be the real beneficiary of American tankers now forward-deployed in the country.

I’m buying Doritos in a leveraged buyout. Doritos is going $20 billion into debt to afford me owning it for free. Sounds like a lot, but we’ll earn it all back with my idea for “Dr. Doritos” acetaminophen-dusted medical chips

My last piece for the late, lamented The Nib in 2023 was about media consolidation.

This is real bad.

Oh it’s SO kool-aid-y. Some minor skepticism or broader thinking but a lot of indulging in magic box hype.

If polymarket doesn’t exist to bet on a Trump heart attack during the state of the union why does it exist at all?

Unrelated but did Emily get ahold of you about the thing Wednesday? Janet’s coming too, figured we could all grab food in u district after we dunk on AI in the back of the lecture hall.

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting.

In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

And here we are again, days away from a war being launched without any justification and, seemingly, minimal pushback?

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

So even without a subscription doorbell footage is being fed back into the panopticon? That feels like a bigger headline than it’s getting here?

The Antirender.com website re-processes renderings for a cloudy November day: no happy pedestrians, zero kids with balloons, lots of dumb utility boxes, and leafless trees. In other words, reality.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.
