Contra Tenore

A Saudi official saying this on Al Jazeera, a Qatari media outlet, is far more telling than any nugget of information carefully leaked to an American media outlet.

This war will permanently alter the relationship of the Gulf states, the US, and Israel.

Indeed ask heterodox leftists how many national newspaper opeds they've been commissioned to write and the idea that oped sections are a marketplace of ideas falls apart pretty quickly.

"It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead." 6:40 PM .

Weird that some random country in the Middle East decided to come over here and pick a fight against us

I give it 40 years, max.

This is going to wend its way to affecting Avi Lewis's campaign for the NDP leadership unless it's deleted soon with an apology.

Did US/Israel also try to kill opposition members to install the Shah's kid?

It's okay I'm sure the US can just go in and fact check those 80 school girls back to life.

Maybe not popular but this particular liberal jab of "haha look at this terrible opsec!" for murderous wars of aggression don't land with me at all. Like I give a fuck.

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion." The next tweet says: Today is a great day. Our military is amazing. @PeteHegseth is an absolute killer. Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. He actually gets it. God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position. The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could. He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran. I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran! He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

A lot of people misunderstood the Davis speech. Carney was saying essentially that Canada's once nominally principled foreign policy will, going forward, be replaced by a cynical, amoral realpolitik to ensure no one interferes with our resource extraction program to enrich American investors.

Never forget who you’re fighting for.

Love it when our nation’s defense contractors all spend their Friday nights subtweeting each other about killing everyone in the world

Holy shit I was right and I don't like that I was right. This is really not good at all. They wanted to let fully autonomous drones use their AI here. Oh my god that's uhhh. Hm.

Shrike got him.

All based on inventory that hasn't even been built yet for AI data centres that also haven't been built yet.

The other day I amplified a search for an elder family friend of @angryasianman.bsky.social who’d gone missing and thankfully has been found at a hospital, where he’s being treated for injuries from a fall.

But every time someone in our communities can’t be found, I’m going to be filled with dread.

The fugitive slave act was the law and a lot of abolitionists had zero problem breaking it repeatedly, which definitely served to popularize their cause.

RIP but Mammo was proof positive that Toronto city council has an incumbency problem. Also proof that the Ontario NDP under Bob Rae was extremely ideologically weird.

Whenever I see these "imagine the outrage" posts I remember it's MEDIA outrage, not partisan outrage. The media loves Republicans and the right and wants them to win.

How the fuck are there 50 survivor seasons this shit started in 1976?

A whole $8M going to Cuba, the day after Canada upped its 4-year contribution to Ukraine to $25B.

The 1st time the nyt leadership engaged me on trans issues, in 2021, they asked my opinion of a Jesse Singal review of a book by the transphobic writer Helen Joyce. The piece had been assigned by Pamela Paul 🧵

So this makes me feel like the BBC thought they’d found One Weird Trick to freely air the n-word and went for it
