Post your favorite Lord of the Rings character. Wrong answers only.

It really puts on display how thin the veneer of homonationalism and rainbow capitalism were that the West is so concerned about access to the Strait of Hormuz when there's a perfectly good Cocksucker of Hormuz available for traffic

It's actually Bunraku because Trump is just being puppeteered by Stephen Miller.

They understood it because they helped create it. James Dobson’s advice was peddled by Jeffrey Epstein for a reason.

So. You do *not* need to "hand it" to evangelicals or purity culture for anything.

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears' vocal coach went to my (nondenominational) church, for instance

ICE must be annihilated is the moderate position

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

Allowing Trump to use the cia to kidnap a foreign leader and then hand pick their replacement was obviously going to lead to this. He now believes he has the right to dictate every country’s leader. The only real remedy is impeachment.

It had the coolest lego sets too!

ICE operates unlawfully. They are outside the law, therefore they are not considered law enforcement. You can simply ignore their orders and defy their agenda. Their legitimacy isn't recognized anymore.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

every zoomer bro who told me how based Dubai was should be drafted into the UAE armed forces

Sick, evil fucking idiots. Not just monstrous but deeply stupid. The people of Iran deserve our solidarity.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

dawg

this is the reason they are focusing on gulf states

they know they can’t do much to the U.S., best way is to lash out at the smaller states who allow US access to try and convince them u.s. presence is a burden and not a bonus

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Twenty-five years or so of more or less constant war and this is the first time I can remember political leaders saying right up front "yeah our guys dying is absolutely a price we're willing to pay" and they haven't even said why they're doing it

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

THIS IS WHAT SAM ALTMAN WANTS TO TAKE FROM YOU

In other words, Large Language Models will only take over our jobs if we, as a society, decide that words are now meaningless.

I still periodically think about the time I got labeled homophobic for saying that an initiative to make the Catholic Church marginally less homophobic to queer kids was Good, Actually
