I can think of another country that was modern before it was conquered by theocrats

News story about a Virginia woman whose son died in Iraq saying she’s glad more people are dying in a neighboring country because knowing they are in pain makes her pain go away or some such.

Really irresponsible to platform someone like this. She has a right to her pain but this ain’t news.

Push from Saudis, Israel helped move Trump to attack Iran President Trump launched a wide-ranging attack on Iran after weeks-long lobbying by an unusual pair of U.S. allies in the Middle East: Israel and Saudi Arabia.

"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

So why do it?

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."

Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

Like unsarcastically the "meat" of Trump/Hegseth's FP doctrine seems to literally be "forcing regime change longterm with deniability via CIA cutouts and NGO subterfuge is fake and gay but doing it via bombs and strikes is AWESOME b/c you get to take credit right away."

Pointless death is Trump’s heroin.

The original post is gone but this is a evergreen reply 😭

"you wanna celebrate our art but you won't protect [us]" is exactly what delroy lindo's character says in the movie they were both in: white folks love the blues just fine, they just don't love the people who make it.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Taping tomorrow!

This is how I found out

Khamenei was one of the barriers to Iran fully developing nuclear weapons.

According to Omani negotiators, Iran was agreeing to give up its stockpile of enriched material.

But now that Trump has killed him, and assuming a hardliner takes power, it could lead to actual nuclear weapons development.

Israel has closed all the borders and are going to kill as many Palestinians as humanly possibly while the world watches Iran and Mark Carney knows this.

Weird not watching a James Bond movie this weekend with my kid. He has requested STRANGE DAYS.

Like culture posts on this app simply don’t get the engagement and I think it’s because people feel it’s frivolous and actually it’s the thing we are fighting for, the freedom to make culture and cultural works

I do actually think there is a serious imbalance on this app. A lot of politics and not enough culture. Some of that has to do with the fact that Black Twitter mostly went to Threads.

I have not read the book but that’s what everyone who has says.

I have. Not his best.
