In case you were wondering, Polymarket had yet another spate of likely inside traders betting that the US would strike Iran by February 28.

Per the due diligence investigation service Bubblemaps, the wallets used were created 24 hours earlier.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Do we have a Constitution anymore, or is it just optional? Because if it’s the second thing it opens up a lot of options about what to do with these guys

Remember how Trump's SOTU included a line about how he'd stopped eight wars, including Israel v. Iran?

When I went to Tehran in 2018 for a game conference I hung out with game nerds, music weirdos, and queer folks with tattoos and colored hair, just like I do here. We got vegetarian food and watched goofy uncles play basketball in the park. I sure hope they can live to see a better day.

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

A reminder that the administration spent the day before it launched a war in the Middle East feuding with tech companies over whether and how the AI models the Pentagon buys will be restrained from autonomously killing people.

WASHINGTON, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine are monitoring the U.S. operation in Iran from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where Trump is currently located, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Jesus Christ they're running the war from Mar-a-Lago

This seems like a pretty big deal

A tweet from Stephen Miller that reads: KAMALA WILL SEND YOUR SONS TO WAR

i can't believe kamala harris would do this to us!

There was a general strike here last month. There’s genuine support for a change of regime here and all over Iran but you don’t get that with air strikes, all that brings is death.

I’m 62 years old, I live in Tampa, I eat corn and beef everyday, I always have a titleist hat on, and Iran is the biggest threat to my freedom

every single ✨Shameless Self Promotion Saturday✨ in 2026 has had some horrific shit tied to it

we're very sorry

we still need to pay bills and it's very hard

Two old & viciously corrupt old men beat their chests & pretend they're so tough that no one can ever hurt them, & their reward is thousands of other people's lives. There is no hell deep enough to bury them.

Everyone, take a sip from your beverage, have a primal scream, and then I guess donate to a rent fund or other mutual aid.

We aren't completely fucked as long as we have each other.

Stay safe, stay warm, stay mad, fuck ICE, fuck war.

Apocalyptic beliefs allow for a paradigm in which “death is good,” which quickly slips into “it’s okay that we’re killing people.”

We’re seeing a lot of that rhetoric in the US right now—whether it’s coming from belief in Christian nationalism or the AI singularity.

Panic, fury, and some hope, in Iran as U.S. launches strikes In Tehran, panicked residents rushed home to shelter and terrified children poured out of classrooms as U.S. air strikes hit the capitol.

a much needed diversion from ✨events✨

None of this is necessary, and all of it is evil. The GOP has sunk to a depth reserved for the worst people in history.

SO MUCH magic on the sand for about 8 minutes tonight! 🪶

We Support Protesting Against Any Authoritarian Government Except Our Own “President Trump called on Iranians on Tuesday to keep protesting against their government and warned that those responsible for killing demonstrat...

"No peaceful demonstrator should ever be killed for standing up to their government. Unless, of course, they’re a suburban mom in an SUV that’s driving away from law enforcement."

Statement from Rep. Ilhan Omar on Trump’s Illegal War on Iran “President Trump is unilaterally dragging this nation into an illegal and unjustified war with Iran without congressional authorization, without a clear objective, and without any imminent threat to the United States. This is a reckless abuse of power that puts both innocent civilians and American lives on the line for a conflict the American people do not want. “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability. Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos. When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

“We know who will bear the cost of this decision: innocent civilians caught in the crossfire and our young service members sent into harm’s way. This is the devastating human toll of another regime-change war. Already, children and families are paying with their lives. There is no moral or strategic justification for this bloodshed. “The American people are exhausted by endless wars built on false promises and paid for with American and foreign lives. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority. We must vote immediately on the War Powers resolution authored by Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie. This unlawful operation must end immediately."

This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.

The cool thing is that the US seeking regime change in the middle east is something that has worked out every time with no blowback or unintended consequences ever.

When I saw the news story about the girls school being bombed, one of my first thoughts was about how unlike American physics, Iranian physics is 50% women at the undergrad level and how some of those girls who had been murdered were going to be physicists one day

Calling it the “Department of War” is perceived as a nearly totally costless signal of pro-Trump leanings, which is why it’s so interesting to me to figure out the line dividing who does and doesn’t

(Anthropic and Lockheed generally do, Boeing generally doesn’t, RAND uses a slash to use both)
