I am absolutely just guessing but my bet is that they got real-time intel on Khamenei's exact location and asked zero follow-up questions about who else was there.

Who the HELL decided to let y'all start saying the R word again like it's nbd? Who raised you??? If you do this, you're not an okay person. Go sit over there, you're not allowed near me.

You can’t fool me, y’all, this one ABSOLUTELY has to be a classic Onion edit

This winter is such a great example of shifting baselines. As someone in the east, it was cold this winter. Full stop. But it "felt" even more frigid because we haven't had such cold recently.

It was cold but not historically so. But good heavens look at that record-breaking heat out West. 🔥

Holy shit. Rumiko Takahashi is one of the first mangaka I knew of by name because of Ranma 1/2 and Inuyasha, both of which I adored as a kid. GOOD on her and the others for removing their talent from predator supporters. Also WHAT THE FUCK SHOGAKUKAN. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Let me remind that in the run up to Iraq 2003, 'realist' scholars who opposed the war, some of whom had been regular oped contributors before, couldnt place in the NYT or WaPo at all, eventually paying to run an oped as an advertisement.

"The situation here is extremely difficult and tense. The aircraft never leave the sky, not even for a moment. Goods have started to disappear from the markets, and the fear is growing day by day."

A message today from my dear friend, Tasneem, in Gaza.

The civilians are under siege and desperate for our help. They rely on donations to survive.

Please give to Tasneem and/or repost. No amount is too small. And give to others. 🙏

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised

Hence why “responsible regulation of AI” is one of my top three campaign priorities.

Heeeeeere we go.

Oh and just remember - once you’ve decided a minority’s human rights are up for debate, you’ve decided HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UP FOR DEBATE.

To everybody who framed all of this as “The Trans Debate,” well done! You’ve opened the door to The Anybody Debate.

Yep. The Holocaust and every past & present genocide was legal. Chattel slavery was legal. I always keep that in mind when people start throwing around the term “legality” as a measurement or equivocation of morality

i know the norm is not to be masked at events. but it is still so jarring and a bit triggering to see people at RECOVER conferences posing without masks on. not even trying to hide it is so bizarre to me. kinda sucks.

My theory for why people aren’t more enraged about this is that “betting on things you shouldn’t bet on with information you arent supposed to have” describes most of the “traditional“ ways to get rich in the US

Are you looking in the mirror while saying that last bit?

Tehran tonight.

Twenty people were killed in a US–Israeli attack on Niloufar Square, a busy mixed residential and commercial neighborhood in Tehran.
