It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.

His whole life, Trump has always had someone else around to bail him out of the messes he creates: his father, Allen Weisselberg, the "adults in the room" in his first term. Now all those protectors are gone and he is openly begging for someone to save him from his own folly.

The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

NEW: Is this the broligarchy’s first world war? AI, like war & rape, is a hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power, a myth at the dark heart of what we’re seeing play out in the Gulf. This war hasn’t replaced the Epstein scandal. It is the Epstein scandal.

We’re constantly being encouraged to do PDE on integrating AI into our composition classes.

No way in hell I am doing that. I am teaching students how to think, not how to copy and paste a prompt into a plagiarism machine.

Israel planning massive ground invasion of Lebanon, officials say "We are going to do what we did in Gaza," said a senior Israeli official.

Weird how a war supposedly about Iranian ballistic missile capabilities magicked itself overnight into Israeli adventurism in southern Lebanon that looks a hell of a lot like what its Kremlin allies are doing in Ukraine by annexing land they have no right to while slaughtering all who get in the way

Pleased as punch to announce that I have another comedy piece in the @thestar.com today, wherein I defend my beloved Doug Ford and all of his amazing ideas. I hope someone sends it to him at the cottage.💙
