Somewhere there is a person who said fire
And a person who pressed fire
And they're getting closer by the hour to the incontrovertible knowledge that they killed 165 little girls
I want to watch that understanding settle on them

Q1: Has the basis of Australian foreign policy (carrying America's cock around in a wheelbarrow) substantially changed since 1982?
Q1a (supplemental): What exactly were three Australian personnel doing on that submarine during the moments it was murdering unarmed sailors and leaving them to drown?
This is horrendous of course but it's interesting to see usamericans shocked by this because the US has been this cartoonishly evil, it's like the mirror is finally reflecting what we, the rest of the world, has always beem able to see
Two US officials have told Reuters that military investigators now believe it is likely that US forces were responsible for the strike on a girls' school in the Iranian city of Minab. However, the inquiry has not yet reached a final conclusion.
The single most important thing a man can do to be an ally is give his woman friends permission to give dudes at the bar his number so when they call he can angrily say that's not funny because she died 15 years ago that very night

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and theyβre simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was βyour piano is too close to the fireplace, youβll dry it outβ and if thatβs not the internet in a nutshell I donβt know what is.
Some will claim phantoms patrol places of broken stone due to a persistence of pain. That ruins are haunted because shades are bound to them by trauma. Is it not possible that many ruins have their ghosts in the ordinary way, spectred for nothing more than once being home? β #CJosiffe #Ghosts
Shit's about to get real interesting
This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

"Don't you know who I am" in a school is how you get Jimmy Savile
The LA Olympics are gonna be so fascist they'll have quidditch
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
What on earth is this nonsense now
You need a lanyard to get into any basic job site, any media building, any secure location
You need a lanyard if you're a minister visiting a nuclear reactor
I know, I've been there as a photographer, me and the minister both had lanyards, as did the director
The infection is spreading
All human knowledge is being degraded into untrustworthy grey goo
Amid Iran chaos, US treasury issues 30-day waiver to let Indian refiners buy Russian oil One beneficiary of the chaos in the Persian Gulf appears to be Russia, since the US treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, just announced that the US has issued a temporary 30-day waiver βto allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil.β βThis deliberately short-term measure will not provide significant financial benefit to the Russian government as it only authorizes transactions involving oil already stranded at sea,β Bessent added. The treasury secretary said the βstop-gap measureβ was implemented in response to what he called βIranβs attempt to take global energy hostageβ.
Congratulations to the US, who in their complete inability and unwillingness to consider the consequences of their own actions just gifted Russia a massive pay day just so they could flex muscles in the Middle East
It's always time for this anti-fascist moment from Casablanca.

Photo of a few square inches of tree trunk. Growing on the tree trunk are several grey lichens (growing flat on tree), a lichen that looks like a bunch of tiny egg yolks, and a bright red fungus that looks like a half dozen or so round/oval red blobs.
A few square inches of tree trunk. At least 4 species of lichens (Parmelia, two Physcia species and Caloplaca) plus Red Tree Brain Fungus. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends.
"Sex tests"
Never mind the unscientific medical performance art of it, this is just another demonstration that all this bigotry was never designed to "protect" women.
Violence against trans women is violence against women.
Terfs are idiots who prioritise a love of violence over their own safety.
We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.
If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kΔkΔpΕ chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!
Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.
the US: grok is this
That's a whole fucking mood, fuck
π° Stone Age skeletons from Hungary suggest Neolithic gender roles were fluid, with some individuals buried with material culture and skeletal changes associated with the opposite sex.
