Platner sat for lengthy interview with antisemitic conspiracy theorist, said he was β€˜longtime fan’ of his show Podcaster Nate Cornacchia has said that Israel was behind John F. Kennedy’s assassination and the global war on terror

[Ryan Grim voice] this is another unforced error, obviously. But it certainly doesn't reflect any deeply-held antisemitic beliefs jewishinsider.com/2026/02/grah...

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.

I was in a bar on election night 2008, and the crowd was unsurprisingly amped about Obama's win. They also kvelled over McCain's concession speech, what an honorable gentleman he was, etc.

I said he dropped bombs on civilians and can get fucked forever. I was thrown out of the bar

Lemme get this straight. By your logic, Graham Platner is an innocent snowflake who did a whoopsie by platforming an actual Nazi and Kat Abughazaleh is history’s greatest monster for thinking Putin shouldn’t be allowed to shove Ukraine into a woodchipper. Do I have that right?

The least human thing you can do I read a story just now about a man in Chicago who saved a baby after its carriage had been blown into the harbor by heavy gusts of wind. Lio Cundiff – who is a trans man not that it should matter her...

Expecting us – with good reason based on history – to all thank them for their service. Fuck your service and fuck you.

Saving a life is brave. Being instructed to kill and saying no I will not do that is brave. But killing like this? It is the least human thing you can do.

This is one of the videos the NYT has verified and links to in their reporting.

NYT: "Video verified by [NYT] showed ... rescuers digging through the rubble with building cranes and shovels, and piles of bloodied, dusty backpacks."

OpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon after Trump orders government to stop using Anthropic On X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he had moved to label Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" and cancel Defense business with the company.

One way to read the AI/Pentagon news from last night (I covered it but didn't skeet) is that the Department of Defense wants AI to automate weapons and/or spy on Americans and that Anthropic would have the bestΒ AI to do that, but OpenAI is at least the second-best so they'll just use that instead.

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

I volunteered for Not In Our Name in 2002-03 and Theaters Against War in 2003. When the mainstream wasn't ignoring us, we were called traitors and terrorist sympathizers.

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.
