the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

A bunny under a bridge throws a rope to pull in another bunny, who may have fallen off the bridge. A small crowd of onlookers has gathered, including a rat who is better at swimming

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

These accounts bet millions on an attack occurring within a window of only hours. They are profiteering off of their own war crimes.

The White House said in June, and I quote, "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News"

Carney continues to squander all the good will that swept him into office. Carney’s “centre-right” approach to governance risks alienating voters and opening the door for Poilievre & the Conservatives to come marching in.

Given that Mark Carney just stood up & gave a world-famous speech lamenting how 🇺🇸 is destroying the liberal international order, it is actually incredibly shocking that he doesn't even mention the UN Charter, 🇮🇷's territorial sovereignty, the JCPOA, the UNSC, or any other aspects of that order.

Just in the last year... Trump attacked Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, and Iraq. And then murdered people in the Caribbean and the Pacific in boat strikes.

Add on top of that, destroying USAID, pulling out of WHO, etc... and this administration has/is killing millions of people.

The idea of bombing children as a form of “self-defense” is nonsensical and grotesque, but nonetheless it’s the argument the U.S. and Israel have been relying on for years and years. It shouldn’t be hard to take a stance against slaughtering children

Iran has warned that no vessels will be allowed through the Strait of Hormuz, Reuters reports.

That’s the route for about 25% of the world’s crude oil.

Eisenhower was right when he warned about the ascendancy of the Military-Industrial Complex. After LBJ escalated the Vietnam War to financially benefit his benefactors at Brown & Root (Haliburton), it was a done deal: the Military-Industrial Complex was in control.

We need a ticker showing the cost to the American taxpayer every time a bomb is dropped, a jet takes flight, a warship moves etc

Seems to be plenty of cash for that, not for, you know, actual living.
