In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

I've been unemployed for a few months. I now set myself pretend jobs to prevent the rot setting in. My son thinks this guy is funny, which is a good enough excuse to make something. Any requests?

You're absolutely right. I lied about the message being an indecipherable SOS. I imprudently recommended against warning the search party. I violated quarantine by letting an infected crew member back in. And I tried to kill you with a rolled up magazine. That's on me,

Brooklyn Public Library ends passport services after State Department order • Brooklyn Paper Last fall, the U.S. Department of State sent cease-and-desist letters to hundreds of nonprofit libraries across the country, telling them they were no longer

So right when the regime is pushing to require ID like passports to be able to vote, they're limiting the places where you can get passports.

its worth noting that despite historic rainfall for every fucking day of 2026 so far*, the reservoirs are still below average levels. This is Narnia-witchy type shit: "always raining, never not drought" www.thameswater.co.uk/about-us/per...

God, it gets so tiresome carrying a 500mm lens in my luggage, just so I can include some of the birds I meet in the vacation snapshots I share with my friends. Why can't I be like a normal person and just take selfies wherever I go? Or why can't birds just be like 10 times as large? 🐦
