i need ARMS! - various forces

With some quick thinking, I was able to inhale the entire fart into my mouth, thereby winning the exchange

Hey nvm we priced it in

For a few days there the market was like yeah the strait of Hormuz is gonna close for a couple days every now and then. Them's the breaks

Stay sharp!

For a year it's been like well the market actually anticipated that the entire health insurance industry would lose a trillion dollars from ACA cuts. That was priced in

Cool that we finally found the one thing that the market had not priced in. Not cool that millions will die

being able to get a glass of whiskey at the barber shop has got to feel really good if you're stupid as fuck

You can fire every missile; you can kill millions of little girls; you can shred every rule and law and norm that would protect you if you were on the other end of the sword believing you never will be; but you cannot bomb someone into respecting you, only hating you

We are watching people who have tricked themselves into believing that the appearance of power is power; that the problem with the Wizard of Oz is he just didn't use his magic he obviously had to fix everything

There was a glide path to being a stable mid-table regional power with a relatively high standard of living for most citizens and important links in a global industrial, cultural, and financial system. That's gone. Everywhere you look, in every arena, the consequences of this war will reverberate.

The options on the table were managed imperial decline or launching insane aggressive wars of choice to try to maintain hegemony over a shrinking sphere of influence, the Trump administration clearly publicly picked the latter last year (in a DOD strategy document), and this is what that looks like.

Fucking Viking pirates installing puppet kings on the English coast were smarter than this.

Donald Trump loudly and publicly demanding to be allowed to pick the next leader of Iran is so so so insanely stupid and humiliating

Getting emailed directly by a powdered dandelion root company letting me know they're going to raise their prices

This Big Bird character is a menace

am I missing something or is reporting on this war utter shit? I'm not even talking about bias or whatever, just like basic facts about what the fuck is going on.

you people will never make me care about Maine, a fictional setting stephen king invented to sell airport paperbacks that has become an in-joke for east coasters who don't want to say where they really went on vacation. i'd rather debate who will best represent Narnia's interests in the senate

They're just lying!

Grok, please identify Iranian missile silos

Also, this administration is full of liars who lie constantly about everything, and there's no reason to believe that would change now.

The question is what happens first: they back down, they are able to liquidate Iran's ability to govern itself as Israel clearly wants, or they trigger a dozen regional civil wars.

Which they won't even say on the news; you have to infer this from what they're not saying.

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.

[The proletariat] is becoming increasingly aware of the criminal character of the war, and not only have the bourgeoisie been unable to shatter this popular conviction, but, on the contrary, awareness of the criminal character of the war is growing.

You cannot lead the people into a predatory war in accordance with secret treaties and expect them to be enthusiastic…

Myself & the other comedians who did the Riyadh Comedy Festival are donating our fees to help get influencers under attack in Dubai back home to their influencer houses. I am sponsoring Braevyn McTaigg from Orlando, FL. 🫡🇺🇸🏝️

I'm reading my daughter books like Ten Little Fingers and Whoever You Are and somebody should really send these to the White House
