The strategy of triangulation, made famous by the Girondins in 1792, perfected by the Democratic party after 9/11, both end up with the triangulators on the guillotine.

Does he have to give back the FIFA Peace Prize now

hell yeah, get your war on is super relevant again!!

fuck, oh shit, get your war on is super relevant again!?

It’s just insane that almost the entire world put so much effort, time, and careful diplomatic work into brokering the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2015, and one asshole president just…tossed it in the trash to do this instead. That should not be possible.

Understanding our current predicament requires acknowledging that every single conservative from the establishment “intellectuals” like Ross to the lowest jug hooting simpleton has driven themselves insane via a media diet that hasn’t communicated a single true fact to any of them in 6 years

powerful academics getting to retire after being linked to a child sex trafficer is not "accountability" or "facing consequences" or "a reckoning" or "justice" it's just them retiring. These institutions continue to beclown themselves. Divest.

This is what progress looks like slow, hard, but real.🏳️‍⚧️💪

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Once again.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

PREVENTING WHAT

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

america will never stop creating its own enemies

the way "preemptive" strike is more meaningless than it's ever been, an obvious fig leaf daring anyone to say the emperor has no clothes, feels so dangerous

love to bomb iran just for the hell of it and claim it was “preventative” and then rip the air raid sirens in anticipation of a response which we will act as if it came out of nowhere and is the most egregious act of spontaneous violence to ever happen

Hey it’s 02.26.2026. Let’s have a party.

I know it’s not symmetrical. Neither is this party we’re gonna have. That shit’s gonna be lopsided.

Raising billions with my pitch about how I will cause mass unemployment among white collar workers: haha yes! yes!

Realizing who votes in local elections and shows up to land use meetings: well this fucking sucks. what the fuck.

I read the phrase "trauma dumping" as "trauma dumpling" and I was so ready to be a part of that strangers life.

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

I loved baby Yoda. They should do an adult Yoda so we can see what he looks like. I bet he got real tall.

That skeet was a humdinger! That was a did-you-see-that-skeet level skeet. I’m — you know what? I’m gonna screenshot that one. I am. I am! I’m screenshotting it. That one’s going right in the file. The little Good Skeets file on my desktop. It’s going right in there! Saving that one for later!

Look the fuckin’ baby just didn’t like the fuckin’ shoes okay.

there's a new trend among young people called "microliving" they close their eyes for a few seconds and experience a rich and fulfilling life from start to finish in their minds. birth. friendship. love. heartbreak. joy. loss. grief. death. but how does this affect their productivity at work
