An elementary school in the Iranian capital Tehran’s Niloufar Square has been struck in US-Israeli attacks, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei. Baghaei on Friday shared a video on X, purportedly showing Shahid Hamedani School with students before and after the attack, without elaborating on the circumstances or the number of casualties.
The US and Israel have apparently attacked another elementary school in Iran, this one in Tehran.

If you know that immunocompromised ppl need extra protection from COVID, please don’t abandon us like the gov’t & society did in 2022

this is not news. we have been a fully sentient posting museum since at least 2016
Funny that like a day after the "is working for the NYT bad" discourse, they publish an article about how Iranian schools just exploded out of nowhere
Trump: yeah gas is expensive. Go fuck yourself that’s why. Americans are gonna die. I could not give half a shit.
Democrats: well it was tough but we found a bunch of candidates that will definitely lose to that guy, somehow
Solar fan arrives today just before it hits 90 degrees this coming week, hell yeah requested in the chat.
I had to sink into the Good Chair with a long, arthritic sigh before I could muster the proper hell yeah, but: HELL YEAH
The "why are you here" cracks me up. I'm married and have arthritis and I'm on social mostly when I commit time theft from my jobs. Why are 20-somethings here when they could be out getting some strange and living their lives?
I was just thinking about how much I miss my old 4-banger with the queer bumper sticker
Floor of the US House Chyron: on motion to suspend the rules and agree H Res 1099 Republican: Yea, 215, Nay 0, Pres 0, NV 3 Democratic: Yea, 157. Nay 53, Pres 2, NV 2 Totals: Yea, 372, Nay 53, Pres 2, NV 5
157 Democratic members of the House just voted yea for a resolution that confirms they agree with the Trump administration's reasoning for starting with a war with Iran.
It passes 372-53-2
Vote is now 162-10-2. 78 Dems voting yea. Just...I know it's just a resolution, but to vote this much in support of something that will be used to justify an illegal war is such a pathetic display of weakness.
Message board called truckloads where middle aged men (and those, like me, who are spiritually such) post pics of what they load up in their trucks and everyone says "hell yeah." Someday someone's like "I can't believe how gay this place has gotten" but it was always gay. It's called truckloads.
Alt text: Two-panel Simpsons meme. In the top panel, the school bus driver from The Simpsons grips the steering wheel and says, “DON’T MAKE ME TAP THE SIGN.” In the bottom panel, a hand points to a posted sign. The sign reads: • “No single ontology organizes the Anthropocene.” • “Different landscapes operate through distinct assemblages of beings, practices, and infrastructures.” • “Ecological processes are patchy, contingent, and historically layered.” • “Multiple ontologies coexist without reduction to a unified explanatory system.” The joke follows the familiar “tap the sign” meme format, where the character insists people read the sign that already states the point.
just a reminder
Enter our hero, Hanaya Yohei, the Japanese chef who created what we think of as MODERN nigiri sushi (nigirizushi) around 1820, the late Edo period.
He pre-vinegared a large boiled rice ball, cut a slice of fresh raw or seared fish to throw on top & added flavor enhancers.
A whole fish sits next to salt and rice filled barrels, I think. It's got stylized kanji in vertical lines along the side. There are trays of cuts of fish, or vegetables next to the barrels.
I'm craving sushi: let's talk about who *invented it*.
Our story starts in the Mekong River valley: Laos, Cambodia, Thailand.
Locals realize they can preserve river fish in barrels with layers of salt & rice for YEARS, a precaution against drought, famine.
I feel fucking horrible, it is incredible how fast you get really sick from any sort of bacterial infection.
Antibiotics are a medical miracle and I'd feel a lot worse without em, but also this sucks ass and I never want to have to do this again.
alright, so, you're not gonna believe this, but both parties might actually be the same

There's something about the particular snub-nosed Tiktok faced white woman every right wing weirdo generates on these slop programs that really unnerves me. It's not just uncanny valley, it's the particular lens they're putting on the valley.
What if we had femdom, but removed all the aesthetic appeal and eroticism? What would be left of this hollowed-out concept?
