In Violence and the Sacred, Rene Girard posits that one of the signs of a crashing society was when the concept of justice was replaced by undisguised revenge. Another was when peopl freaked out over any lowering of strict norms of gender identity. Just leaving this here.
Cupich: “A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game -it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day.” www.archchicago.org/en/statement...
North Tehran’s Aqdasiyeh oil depot is ablaze tonight after it was targeted by multiple US-Israeli airstrikes. Apocalyptic scenes filmed by Iranians driving on the nearby highway. Local reporters saying firefighters can’t put it out. This depot is critical energy infrastructure for Iran.
the reverse version of those “evolution of man” drawings
It's wild how this type of posting is like 4 generations deep and none of them ever realized that there's probably a playground in walking distance from their house
The same reason college doesn't have a class to teach you Microsoft Teams
The whole world is going to throw this shit at you, and it's likely to change faster than the college can prep to teach it to you properly
But many of the foundational concepts you learn in college are literally timeless

We now unfortunately have a image to go with the nightmares that this person - Nate Cavanaugh - and Justin Fox caused by cancelling 1400+ grants and destroying the careers of 70% of staff at the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Most of us never even met these people. #NEH #humanities
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

They are really hitting water infrastructure
I know what the Western press called it when Iraqis used IEDs against Americans in 2004. It wasn't an "anti-American demo."
Trump multiple times just today has said the country is at war. War can only be declared by Congress, and Iran posed no imminent threat. What Trump is doing there is a textbook illegal war and impeachable offense — if we still had a Congress.
Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: It was done by Iran. They are very inaccurate with their munitions.
this is unspeakable
I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.
"A relative who was waiting outside for Gutierrez and her sons was unable to hand off the assistive devices necessary for the six-year-old, who is deaf and has a cochlear implant."

Wow. I just checked and ourworldindata.org/data-insight... says it's even 2.3% of all people worldwide dying from road incidents in general.
The next time someone says, "Oh, I'm just going 10 miles per hour over the speed limit, what's the big deal?" you should show them this
The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore romano focuses today on the US bombing of a girls' school in Minab, Iran.
Victims in our countries seldom get profiled and humanised in Western media. This is a portrait of a life cut short. What a tragedy.
"Saleh Ahmed (55) lived in the UAE as an expat for 25 years, sending under £500 per month in earnings to Bangladesh for his wife and four children."
These allegations of child rape are horrific. They back up the story of Jane Doe, another 13-year-old victim.
The American courts, police, politicians and media know that the President of the United States is an accused child rapist and abuser.
Horrifying.

this is explicitly genocidal
Again. This matters.
There’s a lot more, or course; Platner’s stories are full of lies and gaps. We don’t know who got him to run - the names are all secret. We don’t know what he did in 2017, a black hole after he dropped out of college, before he signed with Constellis. A family friend said “He was in rough shape” 8/
I read the word stagflation today and young friends, if you’ve never heard of it, I suggest you read up a bit. I haven’t heard it since my teens.
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
