I love to torture myself seeking fine-grained understanding of events over which I have no control.

American brain-rot still not quite at majority status.

This was always the hoax though. Netanyahu just wanted to cripple Iran economically, wipe out the majority of its military material, and cause as much fury and chaos as possible before going home chuckling. Regime change was just a trick to involve Trump and his fools.

I mean beyond all of the loathsome obvious shit about allllll of this, the director of the fucking INSIDE fucking OUT movies saying β€œWe’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" is a level of self-unawareness I can only marvel at

I wonder how many times we have to relearn this before it can become policy.

Also note that they have opened themselves to the obvious strategy of Iran hitting the desalination plants of its neighbours who are even more water scarce in order to cripple global oil production.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

An anatomical drawing of a cross-section of a man's head. The eyeball has been replaced by an RSS logo. To the left of the face is a "code waterfall" effect as seen in the credit sequences of the Wachowskis' 'Matrix' movie. To the right are clouds of grey roiling clouds, infiltrating the brain as well.

Never let them tell you that enshittification was a mystery. Enshittification isn't downstream of the "iron laws of economics" or an unrealistic demand by "consumers" to get stuff for free.

As we’ve long seen in India, for every Keralan communist party, there’ve been three or four state Marxist parties that are rotten with corruption just like their opposition.

While it may seem disappointing to leftists to see a revolutionary Marxist party defeated, I can say from the experience in South Africa that it’s far better to see a democratic transition.

And it’ll give the left parties the push to clean up their bullshit if they want back in.

as far as i can tell the ADL believes that antizionism is antisemitism, which i suppose is defensible as an overcorrection, but also that literally nothing else is antisemitism, including heiling hitler

And I swear to you the Venn diagram of people who don't want gay characters in kids' shows and people who demand that antiblack cartoons from the past remain uncensored and free of warning labels is a single circle.

The ignorance excuse just gets weaker and weaker after so many harmless groups were abused using the same arguments - all now debunked for anyone but the most foolish.

It's not 1935. Or even 1985. You don't get to say, "I see it now. But you have to understand, at the time..."

Transphobia is BS.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war.

Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

With takes like these, and celebrating the bombing in general, it may well be that, if and when the regime changes, the Persian diaspora may find themselves extremely unwelcome returning to Iran.

Trita Parsi was saying that these kinds of takes, and celebrating the strikes generally, will probably cause a long term break between the Persian diaspora and those who are enduring the attacks.

r/askhistorians provides the best account of why we have no real evidence of Europeans intentionally using psilocybin mushrooms historically.

One important factor is the lack of need for any paraphernalia in using them and the unlikelihood of any preserved remnants. Still strange.

I wouldn't say so. I'd say that the United States has generally tried to hide atrocities against civilians and have been greatly embarrassed by them when they've come out. At least since Vietnam.

Israel really reinvented the shameless targeting of civilians by top-tier armies.

What I don’t see anyone saying is that, by definition, you can’t make a deal after unconditional surrender.

You are simply subjected to whatever conditions the victor chooses.

Mr International Rules isn’t sure if the Israel-US attack on Iran is illegal.

Repeats long-debunked propaganda about imminent Iranian nuclear weapons.

Military Leaders See Iran War as β€œGod’s Divine Plan” β€” a Chilling Turn for Trump’s Fascism A military watchdog has been β€œinundated” with complaints that officials are using end-times Christian rhetoric to justify war.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation says it has been β€œinundated” with more than 200 calls across dozens of military installations, including 110 complaints filed between Saturday morning and Monday evening.

NYT report confirms that US Strikes killed 170+ schoolchildren in Iran

NYT report confirms that US Strikes killed 170+ schoolchildren in Iran

Shame on all the cruel and calloused people in my comments lying that it was Iran who bombed its own children.

170 Iranian schoolgirls and children dead. Massacred in the most horrific manner imaginable. Committed by the United States and Israel. Paid for by US tax dollars.

This is a war crime.
