Iranian-American: “I’m opposed to my country bombing my family’s country and my tax dollars paying for it. It’s wrong.”

Ali Larijani | X.com @alilarijani ir It has been reported to me that several American soldiers have been taken prisoner. But the Americans claim that they have been killed in action. Despite their futile efforts, the truth is not something they can hide for too long. 3:44 PM • 3/7/26 • 976K Views

⚠️ Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, claims that several American soldiers have been captured.

This claim is currently unverified by evidence or by information from the US government.

I bet you also think you shouldn't bury the mother of your children in an un-mowed patch of grass in the back corner of one of your golf courses; or that you don't shoot campaign commercials at Arlington.....

No hat shows you’re not "full of yourself" and are deferring to the gravity of the situation. Historically, Medieval knights removed their helmets showing vulnerability and trust: they were not a threat. Today, it’s about honoring a life and memory.
Unless of course you’re worried about your hair.

Oh come on. Removing your hat is a sign of respect.

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

Grisham: So he tells you to be angry while he’s ignoring you and leaving you behind, telling you it’s somebody else’s fault. It’s squarely his fault.

Imagine if Fox News anchors were given sodium pentothal before going on air to give an assessment of the pedophile führer's clusterfuck in Iran. 😂🤣👇

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

Why are they protesting Mamdani? There's a long list of things that should be protested, and he's not on it.

Zelensky should tell Trump FU for asking for UKR's drone technology b/c Trump has cut off US military aid to UKR, humiliated Zelensky in the WH, said UKR started the war against Russia, said Putin wants peace, & has told Putin in Alaska, "I will help you".

Hey, so by law I am supposed to name a lot of individual officers. The Architect’s office has handled that (on interim basis?) but by hanging a 45-page PDF with all the names on its website.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

New Employment Rights Act ‘a huge boost for women in the workplace’ Government says new rights for parental leave and sick pay will increase equality and economic growth Women will disproportionately benefit from new workers’ rights measures rolled out from next month, according to research. The TUC said approximately 4.7 million women are to benefit from stronger sick pay from April, including more than 830,000 who will receive statutory sick pay for the first time. These are the lowest-paid women, who are currently not eligible to receive sick pay because they earn below the threshold of £125 a week, the study found. The TUC said low-paid workers, especially women, have missed out on any form of sick pay for too long, leaving them with no choice but to go into work when they are ill. As well as stronger sick pay, from April fathers and partners will have a day-one right to paternity leave, and all parents will gain the day-one right to unpaid parental leave under changes from the Employment Rights Act. Paul Nowak, the TUC general secretary, said: “For too long women have borne the brunt of a sick pay system that is not fit for purpose, and a culture of exploitative, insecure work. “That’s why the Employment Rights Act is an important step forward for women at work.” A government spokesperson said: “The Employment Rights Act is a huge boost for women in the workplace – introducing enhanced protections for pregnant women and new mothers, menopause action plans for large employers and rights for parental leave from day one. “Women thriving in the workplace is not just important for equality but for boosting economic growth.” Shared parental leave, which allows parents to share up to 50 weeks of leave and up to 37 weeks of pay after the birth or adoption of a child, was introduced in 2014. New fathers can take two weeks’ paid leave at a rate of either £187.18 a week or 90% of average weekly earnings, whichever is lowest. Research last year found that mothers lose an average of £65,618 in pay by the time their first child turns five, as the “motherhood penalty” risks their financial security. Mums in England are hit by a “substantial and long-lasting reduction” in their pay after they have children, as they become less likely to stay in paid employment, the Office for National Statistics found. It found women’s average monthly earnings had fallen by 42%, or £1,051 per month, five years after the birth of their first child, compared with their pay one year before the birth. This equated to a loss of £65,618 over five years, according to the analysis, which tracked pay data from 2014 to 2022. Continue reading...

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.
