The times of crisis were created by the person trying to change the rules. I'm not sure he should be rewarded for the mess.

I'm looking for anyone that supported the Iranian authorities. Can you help me with that? Apparently, you have some information that I don't.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion.

One of my first pre-adolescent musical loves was "Swan Lake" - there I said it out loud! #tchaikovsky #ballet #chalamet

The IDF headquarters are in a residential area in Tel Aviv. Next theory?

That wouldn't explain the second strike.

As Israel has a history of bombing refugee centres, hospitals and civilian infrastructure, you can remove them from the "wouldn't" list.

Is there a verb called "underbusssing"? There should be.

OTOH, it looks as though it is costing the Gulf states, and as they bankroll quite a lof of Trump activities (and prop up the dollar)...

If he wanted NATO help he would have asked for it. Launching a war of choice because of a treaty he destroyed does not seem to motivate people to send their sons and daughters.

Indeed.

We're talking a lot about Ai and robots these days. So what about the dudes that created the man-machine for music back in the seventies already? a-lyric.com/2026/03/book... #kraftwerk #songwriting

Besides, only recently Trump was berating Europeans and the UK and throwing tariffs around. Once bitten, etc etc.

I've often said that punk didn't just happen on stage. It brought a whole bunch of new people into graphic design, photography and fashion. Very powerful energy.

Khamenei had few illusions about his chances. He was at home when they assassinated him. You can be sure that plans exist for after his death.

Let my get this straight. As fascism sweeps across our country and American citizens are being MURDERED in the streets, as the pedophile fΓΌhrer plots to rig the 2026 midterm elections β€” the authoritarian psychopath is pushing Iranians to fight for democracy in Iran? Really? πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

It's OK. I got your subtext and can only agree. A very weird choice.

I remember being at Midem years ago and the talk was of making "music like water" - ie, flowing freely uninhibited. And here we are.
