this post deserves to be presented to you by having an index card moved down word by word with photos taken of your face after every new reveal

The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

Here’s an actual news article on the topic. It supports the idea that the issue was outdated data, but not that the target was selected by gen AI. www.npr.org/2026/03/04/n...

He Was a Critic of the N.B.A. Players’ Union. Now He’s Leading It.

As NBPA pres Fred VanVleet worries about what sports gambling is doing to players, particularly since money from gaming companies is only about 1% of BRI. "It’s not substantial enough to make it worth any of this. For us or for the league." My story on his new role: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/b...

Say what you want about seances, at least they involved artistry and a sense of awe

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

what if the real barbarism was the calling other people barbaric all along

Headline of a Q&A in New Yorker formatting Headline: A panicked middle-aged man refuses to tell me directions to the bathroom. Subhed: Please, I just have to pee. I'm in a hurry. By Isaac Chotiner March 4, 2026

Excuse me. Oh, God. Oh, no. Holy shit. Get away from me. I was wondering if you knew where the bathrooms are. Look, I'm ... it's not a crime to scroll through your high school girlfriend's Instagram account. We remained friends after high school! I was at her wedding! It's only natural to see how she's doing.

I'm in a bit of a hurry, and I'm afraid that if I choose the wrong corridor, I'll be late for my train. I think they're down that way, but I'm actually from out of town. Please stop talking to me.

Real quick, though. I agree that it's natural to be interested in an old friend, but aren't you afraid about the message you might be sending by liking a picture of her at the beach from 2015? If that did happen, and I'm only going off your word, it was probably an accident. They put the ... scroll bars or whatever ... close to the thumbs up button. People have been complaining about that for years. I've been complaining about that for years.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHA

I have two family members who

1) believe Mamdani is an antisemite whose position on Israel is tantamount to supporting a second holocaust
2) supported him over Cuomo in the election for domestic policy reasons

They're calling her the goat, the greatest to ever do it, the genius of the 21st century, the most vindicated bitch who ever lived, her haters in shambles her doubters in tears she's loosed the faithful lightning of her terrible swift sword, HER TRUTH IS MARCHING ON

MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

Have a question about government records? By Massachusetts law, these are supposed to be open and accessible. All you have to do is file a request.

But it's not as easy as it sounds. Massachusetts, one expert said, “is one of the more secretive states.”

So we wrote a song about it. trib.al/EWHNLuW

Woman at anti-ICE protest with face digitally obscured holds up sign reading “WE BELONG TO THEM”

Shout out to my MIL for showing up to the anti-ICE protest, even she did bring this utterly baffling homemade sign

so, torture. they’re torturing them as federal policy. entirely predictable, but that doesn’t make it any less evil

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base

if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime.

The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

1967 conquest of Jordanian West Bank, Egyptian Gaza, and Syrian Golan Heights?

Nope. We don't have to do this. The courageous act would be to refuse. Jingoist slop like this is an enormous factor in why the US has been terrorizing the world for decades. There are no heroes bombing Iran.

No. The correct response is "Trump is a madman. Voters in America do not want this war. This war is risks mass chaos and suffering while likely leaving the Iranian regime in place. It was started illegally by violent authoritarians in our government, who should be prosecuted, convicted, and jailed."

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.

Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.

No war with Iran.

every person who dedicated their time and energy to bring us from point A to point B here has blood on their hands that will never wash off

they’re the ones who should be exiled from society instead of trans people

I moved to IL in late 2025, saw one of those ads, and was like…I bet this guy is not actually the firebrand he’s telling us he is. lo and behold
