IDEAS How Good Intentions Helped Pave Trump’s Road to Iran Humanitarians proposed a loophole in international law. Decades later, Trump is jumping through it.

Few believe that Mr. Trump is driven by a concern for human rights. He has also made clear his lack of interest in international law. And the war has already been catastrophic for many Iranian civilians, including dozens killed at an elementary school in an apparent U.S. missile strike on a nearby naval base. Yet the invocation of humanitarianism to help justify the war taps into — whether the president intends it or not — a powerful argument that has reshaped the global order since the end of the Cold War.

“Few believe that Mr. Trump is driven by a concern for human rights.”

Then why write a whole story blaming “humanitarians” for his war?

This entry in the @sfstandard.com style guide is almost a poem.

Men only want one thing, and it’s disgusting (being kidnapped from Pokémon tournaments)

When are people going to learn?

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Egyptian prince Thutmose was entombed with his companion cat Ta-Miu (aka “little mewer”). Here’s the cat’s sarcophagus ~ the inscription says “I myself am placed among the imperishable ones that are in the Sky / For I am Ta-Miu, the Triumphant” (1,500 BC)

Humanity runs on spite lmao

"ai" responded [a crude drawing of the earth with a black dot in low earth orbit. the dot has an arrow pointing to it. the arrow has text that says “HERE” beside it to indicate the black dot is the shuttle orbiter]

i tried one more time and got the funniest response it’s so good

tapping the "people underestimate how many of our society's elites are motivated not by self-interest, but by sadism" sign

Trying to spin this as “just another of Trump’s distractions” and not “Netanyahu dragged us into this war” is another reason we are replacing you with Lander.

It is really weird how this ends with Dan saying that every American should be able to afford to live in a rental home? I mean, I can’t argue that would be a good start, but wow the American dream has sure been downgraded.

I am old enough to remember the NY Times helping George W Bush sell the lie that Iraq had WMDs.

I was up 'til 2.30 this a.m. making Star Wars robots with lego.

Saying that he was wary about RFK Jr gives this loser too much credit.

Law and Order Detective Logan is looking at Detective Briscoe. Briscoe: “Guy like this could commit a murder... then jump in the time machine to cover his tracks.”

The Doctor Who / Law and Order crossover episode is absolutely bonkers.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

True Art

It happens!

If you read it, it is pretty clear this is a joke and they are making fun of news outlets using AI.

You do realize this is a joke, right?

What is this creep even talking about with "The largest issue right now is the algorithmic filter bubble"?

The greatest feature on Bluesky (after the nuclear block and blocklists) is its LACK of a forced algorithm that favors Nazis.

Literally do not understand this.

How are you viewing politics these days? Super confusing. Everything feels like a mess. The only thing we can do is bring more transparency to how things work, and give access and agency to more and more people. I don't believe one system is going to fix everything, and I don't believe one party is going to fix everything. I've never been on one side or the other.

You just KNOW Jack Dorsey is very very smart because a decade into trumpism and he's still somehow oblivious to the uniquely cancerous threat posed by fascism

Still wild to me that if you take the AirTrain from the terminal to pick up a rental car at Federal Circle it's free, but if you take it to the subway or LIRR it costs an ever-increasing amount of money.

nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
