So Israel is launching a "preventive" strike on Iran and also announcing a state of emergency, because they expect Iran to respond to their "preventive" strike by launching missiles. So like... what's being prevented here?

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

I would personally bankroll Boll's next video game adaptation to see that happen.

The tragedy of John Fetterman is that he used to dress like a slob but have an encouraging spirt, making him an Oaf of Rugged Individuality, one of America’s great oaf groups. But now he dresses like a slob and whines all the time, making him an Oaf of Misery

Couldn't sleep last night, so I worked on and(mostly) finished a song about viruses and fascism, and how they're pretty much the same thing.

I also went out of my way to sound as much like the Lawrence Arms as I could. So, if that's anyone's bag

If you’re an American service member who gets killed in a retaliatory strike, your family can take comfort in the fact that it was done in service of making the host of Celebrity Apprentice feel like a big man for a minute, before he moved on to something else and forgets about this forever

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

⭕️ NEW: Canadian PM Mark Carney is leading talks between the European Union and a 12-nation Indo-Pacific bloc to form a major trade alliance aimed at countering what he calls the Trump administration’s β€œcoercive” tariffs, per Politico.

Speaking in Davos, Carney urged β€œmiddle powers” to unite against great-power economic intimidation. The proposal would link the 27-nation EU with Indo-Pacific partners into a β€œsuper supply chain” designed to blunt U.S. trade pressure.

Canadian officials say discussions have been β€œfruitful,” though negotiations remain in early stages.
