Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Trans people are being displaced and the AIDS crisis is well within living memory but liberal Zionists want you to think that the West is an eternal paragon of safety for queer people while the scary nasty Arabs are the only people on earth who hate us

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
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 they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t 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? – #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.

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 “to allow Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil.” “This 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,” Bessent added. The treasury secretary said the “stop-gap measure” was implemented in response to what he called “Iran’s attempt to take global energy hostage”.
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
