Osler with quote "show me a man who does not want protection from kumps and I will show you a man who does not know what part of his anatomy orchitis impacts

Not sure if this quote is properly attributed

School girls and musicians. That's whom our service members are being ordered to kill. It's repulsive.

I propose a "U.S. Stop Committing War Crimes Challenge."

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

“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.”

Fooling people into thinking things prefaced with "BREAKING" are news feels like the equivalent of chatbots fooling people into thinking they're sentient just by using the pronoun "I".

I FUCKING HATE THIS SHIT (AND THIS GUY)

I didn't think they could get stupider but 'if I say I win I win' is sub-basemen stupid. They broke the floor.

Hearing a lot of good things lately like “the economy is crashing” and “world war 3 is happening”

People Are Calling Meta Ray-Bans "Pervert Glasses" On Bluesky, users quickly embraced the term "pervert glasses" to refer to Meta's Ray Ban smart glasses, following a shocking investigation.

Make it stick.

Genius president kicks gas prices directly in the dick on the way into midterms

Your commute regime change.

Coffee, straight out of my nose.

Wrote "I am conscious" on a piece of paper and ran it through the photocopier. New tech is amazing!

But you need actual people in post who know the region. You cannot rely on real estate magnates who do not understand what the adversary is offering and who only care about making money after the war. You need people who know how to play hardball and whom to call to reassure behind the scenes. 11/

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

It is Extremely Warrior Warfighter Epic Mindset to vaporize schoolgirls from a thousand miles away. Such lethal. Very strengthy.

"[N]o deal... except unconditional surrender" reads an awful lot like the old oracular "If King Croesus crosses the Halys River, a great empire will be destroyed."

Pretty sure it's unintentional in this case, but whatever.

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.

Hmm seems good if you're rooting for the collapse of global capitalism tho

Deeply regret to inform my speakers and my neighbors that they are both in very grave peril.

I get disproportionately annoyed when I buy a thing and then retailers bombard me with 11 million advertisements FOR THE THING I JUST BOUGHT.

Like: MOTHERFUCKER, I JUST BOUGHT A STETHOSCOPE. FROM YOU. I'M NOT BUYING ANOTHER ONE FOR A LONG TIME.

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Right-wing pundits want Trump to heal the MAGA rift over the Iran war via the mass deportation of American Muslims

Here’s Hegseth buddy Benny Johnson saying earlier this week that we need mass denaturalization and deportations of those with “ideologies that are incompatible with Western civilization.”

They want to start with Muslims. Very unclear they’ll stop there. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

The American King Goes to War This is not what the Founders intended.

"The procedural objection is a perennial Democratic favorite. It allows Democrats to complain about Republicans having broken the rules, while letting them avoid taking a position on the actual conflict."
