I have a secret I’m not sharing anywhere else but here for now: we are finally in a place financially where I can quit my 3 jobs and just write books. I’ve been working toward this goal for over a decade and I cannot wait. ❤️
You might not like hearing this, but the Iranian ship was a legitimate military target. But my argument all along has been that blowing it up was more like showing off than anything that made military sense.
Well-treated Iranian POWs would have hurt the regime more than a sunken frigate.
The orange felon made sure to lower US flags to half-staff for fascist propagandist podcaster Charlie Kirk but not for civil rights icon Reverend Jesse Jackson or the 6 soldiers he killed with his war in Iran.
Oh thank heavens. I had started to think everyone wanted series.

I've always liked cooking for one. You get to experiment with stuff you can get good at for when you have company. And yes, the leftovers. Have been cooking for 2-4 for a while now, and the leftovers soon disappear - if there are any.
“This is not a war that has been thought through at all.”

This interview is very much worth your time.

Watching the West defend the Middle East against Iran’s drones reveals a sickening double standard.
Ukrainians have endured years of Russian missiles and shaheds with heavily restricted strike capabilities and insufficient air defense.
Why the hesitation to defend Kyiv?
You've missed your vocation. With your devastating analytical capacities, you should be plotting strategy for the United States Department of War. 😄
It's probably the third who think they'll have a much better live after they die.
One big reason I know Bsky has been 10× better than Twitter for me is that the algorithm on Twitter basically did nothing for my work. Since moving, I can name at least 10 artists who’ve I once followed who have discovered my art.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
How OPERATION EPSTEIN FURY is going so far:
🤣 🖕
👌 👎
This sounds exactly like a rugpull:
- hype the value of SpaceX/xAI to stratospheric heights
- focus on retail investors (aka mugs)
- push inclusion in indexes to ensure compulsory stock purchases
- cash in and leave everyone holding the bag
Keeper of the Flame - A film from 1942 warning Americans how democracy can be dismantled from the inside. This scene was written during World War II. Watch how calmly the plan is explained. Ask yourself why it still feels current today.
Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”
Epstein was reportedly very close with Mossad. It’s almost certain they have the Files. And it’s a high chance that Netanyahu has used them to blackmail Trump into attacking Iran.
realizing that the coverage of the afghan withdrawal means that the media will turn this in to a liability for whatever dem ends it when it becomes a quagmire
Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.
There are plenty of lonely rich bastards on Tinder. And I'm sure they've all paid for the premium matches.
And you know what: I really have always wondered. 😄 I hope you didn't just make that up. It sounds way too plausibly obscure.
Did you know the lb in reference for pound comes from the Latin word "libra", which meant scales or balance (like the zodiac sign). Romans used "libra pondo" for "pound by weight"
So that's something you know now.
You're missing the joke. 😄
Just remember, they said if you voted for Harris you would soon be at war with Iran. So you went ahead and voted for Harris. And now already you're at war with Iran. I suppose you'll tell me that's ironic.
Tweets about people asking Grok which president told the most lies.
Bahahaha. 😁😏

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...
It's interesting how the justifications for starting a tariff war and starting all these military wars have been so similar: the world has been conspiring against us for years, they treat us with disrespect, it was insufferable, etc. It's like America is a paranoid jealous husband.
I think it's time for people to openly acknowledge that Trump just wants to kill people.
