"Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman made multiple private phone calls to Trump over the past month advocating a U.S. attack, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution, the four people said."

MBS is as predictable as Bret Stephens.

Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.

This man is a) a legitimate hero in the most literal "dive into frigid water to save a drowning baby" sense but also b) a differently heroic sort of person for getting "I love to eat" as a direct quote in the newspaper. Rare combination of talents.

it’s always ghoulish to profit off death but this new way of profiting off death feels especially ghoulish.

If I were a head of state, I would think setting a precedent that assassination is a legitimate tool of state competition would be unwise

Literally every country involved in this stupid war has a government I’d love to see removed from power, and for none of them is the right way to do it military action by the other two.

Opinion | Trump’s Strikes on Iran Were Unlawful. Here’s Why That Matters.

The strikes on Iran are blatantly illegal. I explained in June why the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were unlawful under US and international law. Everything I wrote then is true today, but this is a far larger assault with far graver consequences.

It is extremely cool to see a former New Yorker reporter retweet post reupping one of the more ugly bits of antisemitic conspiracy theorizing from 2023 that Jewish residents of NY are mostly just Israeli military sleeper agents

Israel strikes two schools in Iran, killing more than 50 people State media says Israeli attack on girls' school in the city of Minab in the south of the country kills dozens.

Iranian channels have reported that Israeli/American strikes hit a girls' school, killing more than 50. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Almost certainly true, and another opportunity to remember that Netanyahu would willingly trade away the safety of every Jew on earth to save his own political career and avoid going to prison for his crimes.

玉險 Office of the Prime Minister Cabinet du Premier Ministre Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East "The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions. Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September. Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people. Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security. The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region."

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.

This is actually genuinely very much not good for stability and not-killing

I want to remind us all: The people of Israel are strong. The IDF and the Air Force are strong. The strongest power in the world stands with us. In moments like these we stand together - and we win together. There is no coalition and no opposition, only one people and one IDF, with all of us behind them 🇮🇱

The so called leader of opposition in Israel endorsing full throated war of aggression while bragging that the US supports it every step of the way

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.

You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

so this is an illegal war of aggression by the US that violates the UN charter by basically any measure, yes?

So Israel is launching a "preventive" strike on Iran and also announcing a state of emergency, because they expect Iran to respond to their "preventive" strike by launching missiles. So like... what's being prevented here?

THAT’S what that is? Goddamn.

Israeli activists who were in the village of Kusra, the West Bank today to support Palestinians were brutally attacked by settlers who literally broke their heads with clubs. Two had to be airlifted to hospital.

OpenAI has a lot of explaining to do, and might want to start by revealing to authorities what responses ChatGPT gave during interactions with Van Rootselaar.

only a 50/50 chance of AI telling you to go to a hospital when you have Diabetic Ketoacidosis? DKA will fucking kill you. That is bananas.

“If you’re experiencing respiratory failure or diabetic ketoacidosis, you have a 50/50 chance of this AI telling you it’s not a big deal...If someone is told to wait 48 hours during an asthma attack or diabetic crisis, that reassurance could cost them their life.”

the defensive ‘I’m not going to apologize’ is unsurprising at this point but still exhausting to read

also: if people start defending this shit because one of the other cartoons included in the dentistry teaching materials was a cartoon about Israel, I am going to lose my mind. this is not punishing someone for political views. a hooked-nose Jew swimming in a pool of money is not a political view.

U of T dentistry dean under investigation after complaints over antisemitic course materials University of Toronto has launched an investigation after course materials shared by Anil Kishen contained anti-Israeli and antisemitic imagery.

“a cartoon of a man with a large, hooked nose swimming in a pool of money labelled "immunity." The images accompanied lecture slides explaining the concepts of “strangulation theory” and “immunological modulation” in tooth health.”

What the fuck?
