You dont need a team of analysts to say the countries carpet bombing Iran are responsible for the bombing. This is not a standard used for Russia or Iran, it’s a standard invented on Oct 17 2023 after the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital bombing and the ADL’s crybully campaign, it’s reserved only for Israel/US
🤣🤣🤣
Previously the IDF has issued only much narrower evacuation orders for urban areas of Lebanon (specific buildings or blocks).
Now, as it did in Gaza, it’s telling people they need to get out of whole neighborhoods of suburban Beirut, as well as the entirety of southern Lebanon south of the Litani.
It's always time for this anti-fascist moment from Casablanca.
When you rush into war, with no plan and no idea what you're doing, with a department run by tv show hosts, internet trolls, and amateurs, you do war crimes. And this is an absolute war crime.
Picture of a panel in a conference center. There is a dias with a black curtain at the front, and a gray podium. Behind the dias sits Carmen Maria Machado, a fair-skinned femme wearing glasses with dark hair, Umair Kazi, a brown masc with dark hair, Alex Hanna, a brown butch trans woman with short brown hair, and Vauhini Vara, a brown woman with long black hair wearing a red blouse.
There were 250 people in the audience, at the biggest available room for our #awp26 panel, Resisting AI in Writing and Teaching.
It was invigorating; hearing about how writing instructors are pushing back against their institutions was inspiring. Thanks to my co-panelists Carmen and Umair.
"Anger is real, and so is resolve."
It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom.
This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.
Oh yes okay come with me new people on this horrible journey into Porn Wars Theory
This will be a thread and an extremely bleak one
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h ••• My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit
People, Wired, Teen Vogue have consistently met the moment better than most legacy media- and considering the high quality reporting their reporters are still doing, this is all the fault of those in the C suite.
i know people on here don't rly care about culture coverage but sharing because I'm proud I did it: reviewed Mitski's new residency at NYC's The Shed @us.theguardian.com
seeing her perform for the ninth time in 9 years (!), I feel confident saying that Mitski is in her triumphant era.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
no no no no no
"Double tap" is a very specific thing that basically only the Israelis and Russians do that this website has since decided should refer to any strike where you hit a target more than once, for any reason
WE'VE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT CHRISTIAN ZIONISM
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
If she's never punished for any of this, who cares what "history" thinks?
History will forget her like it's forgotten so many shitty racist, murderous U.S. officials in the past.
"History" is the secular version of Hell, and just as imaginary.
when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually
For most of my childhood my mom was a researcher at Entertainment Weekly and worked in their massive library of other magazines reporters were constantly referencing. We lose so much when reporters, or anyone else, can't access that history.
Qobuz has no podcasts, better payouts to artists, the ability to purchase music (they just had a label sale!), and high-quality recordings. I'm never going back to Spotify. Fuck Joe Rogan.
Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin.bsky.social launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets."
Her opening essay is worth every second of your time: www.thekeymagazine.com/p/western-jo...
For what it’s worth, this is exactly why we launched Scratch. Everyone I know in the arts is exhausted from scrambling for dwindling scraps of attention, only to have that mandated entrepreneurship framed as “freeing” for artists. www.talkscratch.com
Because the Democratic party is shot through with the rot of white supremacy, too. If Platner suffered a consequence, so would all his white supporters and their fine, upstanding sons with Nazi skeletons in their closets.
This only happened because people mercilessly grilled Ron Wyden. Keep being mean to Ron Wyden www.wyden.senate.gov/news/press-r...
Two things. I’ve heard this from many, many upper class white liberals.
And I renew my conspiracy theory that science could (has??) absolutely engineer a skunk-free weed but the CIA or somebody won’t allow it because it’s such a useful pretense for locking up Black people and poor people.
How on earth is this how you describe what happened that video?
