Iran can make Americans hate this war with One Weird Trick

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

BREAKING — 51 Iranian children are dead after a strike hits Minab girls elementary school in Iran.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

I don't really have words for how embarrassing it is that they are willing to do this crybully authoritarianism to assert dominance. Like way more embarrassing than the usual behavior.

I deleted my earlier post about this because it was unclear from the media articles [and Oz's comments] that the enrollment moratorium is on new *suppliers.*

Comments are stressing me out. In all likelihood, the reason he shouted that was because it was his biggest fear that he'd shout it.

Not only is this a betrayal to core campaign promises, he’s using neoliberal rhetoric to paint libraries as “costs” rather than capacity.

i.e. what @moneyontheleft.bsky.social calls Neoliberal Public Finance.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Also:

- Nest cameras store data even when you're not subscribed

- Third party ALPRs have questionable efficacy

- Modern pacemakers transmit a unique and trackable BLE signal

- Walmart is happy to let the FBI comb through their sales records and user data

this is so funny to me liberals literally don’t understand positions further left than them exist

You should search his name in the Epstein files

Anyone else struggling to write right now? Like, I know the concepts, I have an image of how the come together, but I sit down to do the work and I just… can’t?

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

no longer a conspiracy theorist, simply a ‘theorist’ in today’s timeline

One of the many sins of genAI is that the societal necessity of staying vigilant for it frequently turns into a policing strategy, often with punitive consequences for the handful of people who still write and make art with human integrity. I hope this student wins their suit.

Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies “the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw—and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken.” Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive—via brain death—or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners’ torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can’t. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier.

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier."

I'm honestly speechless.

⭕️ NEW: An Al Jazeera investigation finds that Israel has used U.S.-supplied thermal and thermobaric weapons in Gaza that burn at up to 3,500°C, leaving no remains of victims. Gaza’s Civil Defence documented 2,842 Palestinians who effectively “evaporated” since October 2023, identified through forensic cross-checking at strike sites where only blood spray or small tissue fragments were found. Experts link the disappearances to munitions such as MK-84 bombs and GBU-39 glide bombs, whose heat and pressure vaporize bodies. Legal experts say the use of indiscriminate weapons constitutes war crimes and implicates Israel’s Western suppliers, as killings continued despite provisional measures from the International Court of Justice and an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“Good afternoon. My name is [redacted] and my wife and I have been at OMDC since April 15 2025,” reads a handwritten note, wrapped around a lotion bottle that was thrown by a man held captive inside the Otay Mesa Detention Center (OMDC) on Sunday. “It’s cold here all the time and the food is poor,” the missive continues. “For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick.”

The fact that they get to participate in the first place says everything it needs to about the double standards the Olympics and world competitions have for Israel and the United States versus everyone else.
