En nordmann i pappaperm er drept. Familen sørger. Espen Teigen mener dette er en viktig anledning til å spre hat og rasisme. Avskyelig.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

No.

Even conceding that Obamas roast of Trump set in motion Trumps presidency, that is not on Obama.

The catalyst for all this pain and suffering is Trump.

Trump is the chronologically adult narcissist with a toddlers incapacity for grownups talking about him negatively .

That is 💯 on Trump.

It remains astonishing to me that Trump and pretty much every american takes for granted that the wars they start on foreign soil never will come to the US.

That is absolutely not a given.

This US has very few friends.

Regulating AI hastens the Antichrist, says Palantir’s Peter Thiel Tech billionaire claims in a lecture about religion that the devil promises peace and safety by strangling technological progress with regulation

One of Hegseths troublingly far right Christian nationalist winking tattoos is Deus Vult -- God wills it.

Increasingly radicalized US evangelicals have long proclaimed Trump God's divinely ordained leader for our times.

And taught that opposing Trump's will thus is a sin.

Devil worshippers are using AI, exorcists are warned Priests, imams and rabbis will attend an exorcism course in Rome amid fears that paedophiles are using AI to create images of children involved in satanic rites

Exorcists schooled in Rome on devil worshippers' use of AI.

Possession. Deliverance. AI-assisted pedophilia. Asking ChatGPT if it is Satan. AI moguls saying it's akin to God.

We need a new word for this mishmash of old superstition, moral panic and new insanity.

BREAKING: Babe, wake up. New war just dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

CNN: More than 1,000 civilians killed in Iran since war began, rights group reports By Helen Regan More than 1,000 people, including children, have been killed in Iran since the war began on Saturday, according to US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA). The rights group said as of Tuesday afternoon ET, at least 1,097 civilians had been killed, including 181 children. More than 5,400 civilians, including 100 children, have been injured, HRANA reported. The group said its report is preliminary and is veritying hundreds more reported deaths.

At least 1,097 civilians had been killed in Iran so far, including 181 children.

Det er vondt å våkne opp og lese om alt det forferdelige som har skjedd i løpet av natta, som at seks personer er drept i Libanon og influenceren Anny Isabelle (27) begynte å gråte fordi det smalt mens hun spiste middag på «rooftopen» på Lana hotel i Dubai

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House. Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022. The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

A Supreme Court Shield for Big Oil Would Come at Your Expense When we talk about someone wanting to both eat their cake and still have it, we’re using a logical impossibility to highlight the cake-haver’s delusional mental state. When it comes to the fossil-fuel...

We're heading for a world where the Supreme Court decrees fossil fuels can't be regulated, but they can't be sued either. That would leave you paying every cent of the tab for climate damages

"This administration, which promised common sense and America First, vowed not to embark on namby-pamby woke crusades or get caught up in forever wars and nation-building. Instead, it is proving itself to have the most revisionist foreign policy in American history."

Who's Feeling Lucky? Notes on the jackpotopalypse

simply brilliant: When you bet on an event, there’s a necessary removal of self from the proceedings, and a moral flattening of the outcomes: your job is to watch and, good or bad, if what you thought would happen happens, you win

Maryland, New Mexico Become Latest Blue States to Ban Local Contracts with ICE Governors Lujan Grisham and Moore signed laws barring local sheriffs and police from partnering with ICE’s 287(g) program, joining eight other states with similar prohibitions.

A recent bill in New Mexico that bans local and state agencies from partnering with ICE also effectively shuts down three counties’ detention programs and prevents any future ones.

The Real Story Behind the Midnight Immigration Raid on a Chicago Apartment Building The Trump administration has claimed the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua had taken over the building. But new documents make no mention of the gang and reveal federal agents had information about “ille...

Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

Analysis: The rationale for striking Iran was already a mess. Trump just made it worse. | CNN Politics The Trump administration’s stated justifications for going to war with Iran were already a jumbled and self-contradictory mess before the president’s latest comments Tuesday.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.

In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.

And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

we appear to have four competing fascist movements jockeying for control: blood & soil nazism under miller and hegseth, darwinian ecofascism from rfk, technofascism under vance and musk, and one Big Wet Hitler who understands the true animating core of the american volk is a deep love for shopping

With Us or Against Us, Again Congress didn’t authorize this war, and the only response to questions is a loyalty test we’ve fallen for before.

Afghanistan started at 92 percent approval. Iraq started at 71. Iran started at 27. The "whose side are you on" rhetoric is identical. The country underneath it isn't. I wrote about how the framework works, and who's deploying it. www.readtpa.com/p/with-us-or...

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Somehow, in despite 10 years of increasingly deranged behavior from Trump and co, they find creative new ways to surprise me with their depravity.

Insiders Fear Steep Civilian Toll In Iran After Trump Slashed Pentagon Personnel The U.S. has "no stupid rules of engagement," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Monday.

Warcrimes'r'us.

Hegseth threw out the rules of engagement, and rid himself of the vast majority of folks in the armed forces tasked w avoiding civilian casualties.

The US acknowledges no process other than military justice to prosecute soldiers criminally.

Trump's negotiating strategy goes something like this:

-"Give us what we want"
-"Oh, this is taking too long"
-"Okay, I'm having you killed"
