Good riddance, but is the guy who beat him any better?

At least Dvorah/Deborah/Debbie is a somewhat common name, when was the last time you met someone named Vashti?

Carbon transport, by squid

This is a Teuthowenia pellucida, according to Rachel Chen, from the #OBVI #LivingBioreactors team. After glass squids make the daily trip to surface waters to feed, they return to depths, transferring carbon from the surface ocean to the deep sea.

I wholly support this

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee joked about procreating while sheltering in a memo he sent to U.S. diplomats, embassy staff and family members, The Washington Post reported. In the memo, which one U.S. official reportedly described as "awkward" and "odd," Huckabee says if spending time with one's spouse "results in the birth of your next child in about nine months," he expects that "you will want to name the little bugger after me."

These fucking people are so unserious and gross. Millions are under fire from ballistic missiles, huddling in shelters and fearing for their safety, and this deranged asshole is out there making crude jokes about their plight after refusing to help them evacuate.

On the positive side, it's good that Rubio is now walking back his ZOG shit from yesterday, on the downside he's just blatantly denying what he said (ie lying), and it's still worrisome that he still doesn't have a good answer as to why he started this stupid deadly war.

Um, thanks for the sentiment I guess, but next time please consider updating your clip-art collection for something a bit less obscenely inappropriate.

<why not both. meme>

It's extremely distressing to see how much support this person is getting for her disgusting hate speech.

Tens of thousands of likes and followers for this crap, with almost no pushback. And when called out, she just double-downed and didn't lose a single follower.

There's a difference between "my kids wanted to go to McDonald's so I took them to McDonald's" and "my kids made me take them to McDonald's."

Update: it has come to my attention that the source of the screenshot I quoted was just some other guy's substack post, and as far as I can tell hasn't otherwise been reported by any reputable source.

So the point stands, but the specific details may be erroneous.

It's bad enough that Rubio made the accusation while flailing around for an excuse, but worse that otherwise smart people here who should know better suddenly take these lying liers at their word when it comes to blaming Israel, while recognizing everything else that they say as bullshit.

one rocket intercepted, the others fell in open areas, no injuries or damage reported

not that it would have mattered since the airport was already closed, but why issue this warning two days after the war started?

N12 is reporting 15 rockets and 2 drones

We have a SecDef with a giant Crusader cross tattooed on his chest ranting about Armageddon and God's judgement on the infidels, but sure, go ahead and somehow pin this on the Jews.

I hate to read too much into Rubio's squirrely word salad of a statement, but judging by some of the hideous responses to Joel's post my concerns are being borne out that the SecState is seemingly spouting Protocols-inspired ZOG conspiracy theory as the reason for the US starting the war.

I don't recall the exact amount, but each barrel of oil burned causes hundreds of dollars of damage to the atmosphere and environment. Pollution and climate change are expensive!

Since I've seen this popping up a bunch in the past few days, here's a thread where I tried to go into the history of the word.

I really admit I miss the days when there's be maybe a 5 hour gap between "this guy has a Nazi tattoo" and "this campaign has become very hard on my family and I believe I need time to reflect"

I suppose this means that the Houthis will be next to join the fray?

N12 headline: IDF strikes Dahiya in Beirut

3 diced carrots: one purple, one orange, one white

Multi-coloured carrots make me feel fancy af

For instance, something like the Dec 2001 incident when the US failed to capture Bin Laden in Tora Bora, which allowed him to escape to Pakistan. If there were financial incentives to allow such failures to occur, it would be bad.

and sometimes operations are undertaken when specific intelligence is received, such as knowing that a target has been located, and that delaying would jeopardize the mission

what's funny? there's a reason why raids are often conducted at night and not in broad daylight

For instance, deciding to delay an attack from 3am to 8am to make an extra $7 million could potentially put a lot more people in harm's way, and would be done counter to strategic and tactical goals for the sole purpose of personal financial gain.

That's what worries me. Forever reacting in the moment with little regard for the long-term ramifications, thus guaranteeing that there will be more and more stuff to react to, generally worse off with fewer good options.

She's been saying vile shit like this for 20 years, why are people suddenly acting surprised?

Is it just because they can no longer hide behind the "she's anti-Zionist not antisemitic" façade, and are now forced to acknowledge what's been the case all along?

Think about what it means that universities have to warn students and faculty not to allow federal agents into their buildings. This would seem dystopian if it weren’t real.
