In an ideal world, the guy who controls the nukes and the village idiot would be two separate people.

Footage published by Iranian media today shows damage to Chehel Sotoon, a 17th century, Safavid-era landmark palace and garden located in the historic centre of Isfahan, after air strikes in its vicinity.

The Persian garden that surrounds the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

I do not know how you try to make an appeal to morality in a country that has done literally nothing to prevent the mass slaughter of its own children in its own schools.

A reminder that much of this started because Netanyahu and Trump did not want to go to jail for crimes they almost certainly committed.

In a different world you could imagine the conspiracy theory "attacked Venezuela in order to gain control of its oil supply as a hedge against an attack they knew they were planning on Iran," but no one can believe that these clowns thought that far ahead.

I saw on r/nursing this week that a nurse reported a colleague for wearing meta glasses to work. That has a billion HIPAA and other legal violations written ALL over it and that person should be fired

He also insists he must have access to the contestants changing rooms, and may come by as they are getting ready for the swimsuit part of the competition.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.

"Hey Kurds, it's the United States. Remember us, from all the betrayals? Anyhoo, would love it if you all could march into this thresher for us. Let us know."

I honestly hope none of those influencers whose jobs is posting about their supposedly idyllic lives in Dubai get hurt, but, by Golly, JG Ballard couldn’t have constructed a more satisfying comeuppance for a dystopia sold as a Utopia.

I am sorry, but what is happening here?

We count on other countries' consumer councils to explain things to us now. This is amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4Up...

“I am the son of the guy whose secret police force used to terrorize you, please install me or my friends, for democracy” is an amazing pitch from the shah’s son

🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤔🙄
It’s an illegal war. You could help in other ways without letting them use bases.

NEW: The Lib Dems are demanding MPs get a vote on allowing the US to use UK air bases.

Leader Ed Davey says:

“No matter how the Prime Minister tries to redefine offensive as defensive, this is a slippery slope. He must not let Trump drag Britain into another prolonged war in the Middle East.”

I’ve performed on the airbase in Bahrain that was targeted. To play devil’s advocate, I guess you could say he is defending British Forces’ well-being and repaying some of the gulf states’ hospitality.

But the idea of aiding & abetting Trump right now remains fucking appalling.

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.

You can see a near miss exo intercept attempt by an Arrow-3 around 1:00

Reminder that if you see something horrific, there is good evidence that playing Tetris as soon as possible helps.

Giving yourself PTSD from seeing photos or film clips doesn’t help anyone.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

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.

Senator Mullin that guy died in 1989

Trump has no strategy to help the Iranian people build a legitimate state—in fact, he’s dismantling tools that could have helped promote civic engagement and build a united opposition in Iran, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues. theatln.tc/k99IcIzV

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

U.S. Ability to Determine What Comes Next in Iran Might Be Limited

Understatement alert

No, it’ll be fine

Okay, we have the media game plan of the war-supporters.
1. Detail how terrible Iran is
2. Blame Iran for causing the war
3. Claim imminent threat
4. Posit great opportunity for regime change
5. Prepare to blame the Iranian people when the war fails.
