(Guardian) — Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

When I joined as the head engineer of the Torment Nexus project, it was to work on fascinating technical problems and make the world a better place along the way. I am appalled to discover that the Torment Nexus would be used this way and, now that my options have vested, will be leaving the project
Clearly trustworthy words, given that we’ve only recently stopped militarily threatening other members of NATO
They heard INDOPACOM saying the PLAN was the enemy and they decided the plan was the enemy
i guess the dreaded baltimore orioles physical is now a two sport athlete?
Whyyyyyy we’re supposed to be trying to win a Super Bowl
Well, this is a fine how-do-you-do
I’ve been talking about this war with friends to the right of me, and I kept throwing out “I hope I’m wrong about this, but…”
Well, not looking great for the administration being right.
🧵I'm listening to a book by someone whose work I respect & as sometimes happens, was hit by ignorant & frankly antisemitic language around Jewish scripture & "the Old Testament God" that, whenever I hear it, I feel like my head's going to blow off.
So. A thread! Fun!
Not entirely sure that keeping Andrews and losing Likely was the best choice, but I can understand it as we're very much win-now
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.
Now it’s K-pop. No notes.
At a protest with a bunch of Boomers and they’re playing The Doors. Checked with an organizer if my anti war sign was fine, or it was all anti-ICE; they said “whatever you’re protesting, we’re here for or.” A+ atmosphere, would protest again.
Correctly so, as we have spent much of Lamar’s prime and of Derrick Henry’s remaining career fucking around.
Yep, it’s both too cheap and too expensive. You can experiment! You can try the crazy thing! But now it’s not a paper sketch you can casually throw away, it’s your time and effort and making a big change means discarding that and then doing it again, and people never actually like that.
Well Maxx Crosby oughta fix our pass rush
Serious question: was this written in another language and then translated through some software?
Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie, finally. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He knew - and he left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/
Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years. The president was right to act.
They have been JUST ABOUT TO BE A THREAT TO US for half a century!
It's not that bad, we only had about 1 soldier for every 10 Germans in 1945, that's just... 9 million soldiers 😱

Is your hesitation that the dollhouse isn’t nice enough for you, or that you’re not nice enough for it? If the former, well, you want what you want. If the latter, I’d say that’s incorrect, based on why you got the $.
I’d also note that you seem to really want it, and you should trust yourself.
