Every single person in the entire chain of command that massacred the schoolgirls in Minab, and that is currently carpet bombing Iranian civilians, needs to be tried and jailed in The Hague. Sick, depraved monsters drunk on imperial hubris.

(Eranga Jayawardena/The Associated Press)

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

I've spent thousands over the past couple years on obscure and rare Japanese magazines (many digitized now, the rest forthcoming) for my research and yeah the ads can be surreal. Some incredible info gems tucked in amongst the articles too.
It's expensive and exhausting, support archivists!

A picture of PEW poll on global attitude survey, saying the % who rate the morality and ethics of people in their country as good vs bad, where the US has the worst rankings and Canada the best

Americans: we live in a fallen stateβ€”embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

But this kind of expensive escape hatch isn’t available to most of the traveling public.
When Amber Manzanilla, 42, called the State Department hotline with questions about how she could get home to Austin, Texas, from Dubai, she said she the agent told her to β€œstop ranting and raving” and hung up on her.

One cute tradition in Bally games was that ranking mechanic outside the actual game score. Was Gorf the last to do this? I kind of miss it.

this can't be allowed to be a consumer grade product going forward. its too much like doing the really fun drugs, there's no way to know beforehand who is gonna be able to act normal with it and who will instantly be struck insane and end up dead in a ditch somewhere

This is why I hammer on the dehumanization angle. Trans people are not humans that can be listened to to discuss their own thoughts and feelings in the anti trans framework, they are objects and things to be studied or pitied at best and exterminated at worst.

this is Jesse's entire game: instilling readers with the *feeling* that something is horribly wrong with gender-affirming care w/o providing a shred of evidence it's actually happening (because it isn't)

I can't believe you have to deal a half wit like Jesse Singal. One of the most awful propagandists of our age, just furious that trans people still get to exist without his permission, despite doing his best to destroy their lives.

Jesse singal literally wrote a whole article about an imaginary me and then asked people to be furious at his fantasy version of me.

Seriously tho, if anyone knows a group looking for a part time contractor for anything technical who’ll work for below market rates as long as the topic of AI will never be broached lemme know

The most disheartening part of all of this is how most everyone collectively understands that the existential threats to humanity (Trump, AI, late-stage capitalism) are entirely incompetent and incoherent but decide to just roll over and let them win for no reason at all

Like have some damn pride

An early morning shot of the sky. Encased in glass above an old stone building is a moon. To the right is another moon. Which one is real? Are they both alive? Do they breathe the same air or at the same time? Clouds surround the moon on the right, though the sky is entirely clear on the left. Moon glow abounds.
