Good grief. I’m not sure she’s thought this through. Unless, of course, she actively *wants* allies & enemies to believe that she would happily order the British military to commit war crimes.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

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 β€œIAEA” wrong.
They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel

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.

one way to look strong is to have a principle or value that you stand by and fight for even when it doesn't poll well. this is basically what Beshear has argued with trans issues.

but the current dem governing and electoral strategy is almost ontologically opposed to doing that

I really appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.

I learned a lot.

Any time you’re tempted to take legal academia seriously, just remember that John Yoo has never paid even the slightest price within the academy.

If you're thinking about the BAFTA situation and trying to navigate the intersection of Disability, Race, and systemic rather than merely individual anti-blackness, I highly recommend watching this video (part two as well), from @jumaane.bsky.social D. Williams.

A lot of people, including me, were wondering how an IRB could ever approve this study.

The answer is that no IRB did. The person who β€œsigned off” on approval from the only ethics board that reviewed it had resigned three years earlier. His signature was used without his knowledge.

You know who really has a good vantage on what universities can and should be? Faculty. Not always the organizational structure and operation, because that's not the job, But what it takes to educate? Yep. Yet the overwhelming media coverage is by and about ppl w very little to no experience.

When a young woman is raped by two friends, her small town turns against her A local footy star and his mate are convicted of raping their friend. In the tiny town of Balmoral, where the footy club reigns, the town makes it clear whose story they believe.

Why don’t women come forward when they’ve been sexually assaulted? I grew up around these types of people, I grew up around people who’d always support hating on a girl over a boy.
They are VERY common attitudes in close communities.

We just hit THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION WHISTLES since mid-December, more than half of that total was printed and shipped THIS MONTH. At this rate we will hit a million by the end of the month. Let us get whistles to you too: whistlegoblins.fun

[word bubble emoji] #Putin: Please accept my heartfelt greet...
[photo of Putin and several African leaders, wearing suits; some are waving. It's captioned:]
#AfricaDay "Accept my heartfelt greetings on the occasion of Africa Day that has become a symbol of the victory of your continent's nations over colonialism, as well as their striving for independence, peace, and prosperity." --Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

Toomas Hendrik Ilves, the account doing the quoting:
You never congratulate 15 countries on your border for their victory over colonialism.

one of the most savage tweets I ever saw was by the former president of estonia on pretty much this exact theme, just a bit early

And rare disagreement with Tim here.

The countless people here who stuck our necks out to warn about MAHA and disinformation, often to receive vitriol and slurs in response, have every right to say β€œI told you so.”

It’s true, after all.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.

She is going to be president somedayβ€”it’s just a matter of time.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
