State Department Bypasses Congress to Send Israel More Than 20,000 Bombs

Unconscionable.

Congress needs to aggressively reassert its authority. Stop this illegal war from becoming even more deadly. Now we know it was likely a U.S. bomb that caused mass casualties at the girls' school in Iran.

No more of our taxpayer dollars funding this savagery.

to me it rocks that this company that has never come within light-years of making money and has a bad product with zero practical use cases is the pivot point of the global economy because a bunch of embarrassing Burning Man dorks just decided it should be

Caught up with the GQ article about American Football and my only thought is, imagine having to drink like No-Show Jones in order to perform twinklecore ๐Ÿ’€

Big fan of the idea that popular will can force specific enterprises to open shop in a particular location. Uhmm that's called socialism, sweatie

Oh wow! Amazing. I was at Black Sabbath at Target Center about 15 years later (around the time of my PP shows). Only other time I saw Prince was Mill City (with Larry Graham wandering the crowd playing slap bass)

It seems fairly clear that we are being subjected to a massive media blackout/disinformation campaign about what is actually happening in and around Iran right now, given that Iran is apparently still quite capable of launching drones and missiles.

Is there a compound noun in German denoting the desire for the world to just end already so we can move on with our lives?

I've probably gone to 500 jazz shows in Chicago and I've never heard of the Reader's reader poll winner for best jazz musician. I guess that's my bad (?)
