So let me get this straight, you couldnβt get Americans out of the region BEFORE the attack because of the airspace closures that happened AFTER and as a direct consequence of the attack.
Time to do some R&D on some films I haven't watched yet.

Good thing to remember online right now is that everyone here is very emotionally dysregulated and dealing with that by posting
Civilizations throughout history have had to deal with the consequences of a ruler who is a malignant aging despot sliding into dementia. I guess now itβs our turn.
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time." Generals and military scholars will tell you that eight or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history - which is no doubt true - but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed. That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

Can you imagine being at the breakfast buffet on the other side of that curtain right now?
The Pentagon broke off its partnership with an AI company because the AI company didnβt think it should create the conditions for the Terminator universe if I understand correctly
I had forgotten how The Simpsons put the extra effort in to flip this joke. Rather than just satirizing US nationalist parochialism, Homer is (momentarily) an expert on Iranian politics.
What he lacks in intelligence he makes up for in being annoying.

I can't believe I missed the 10th year anniversary of the most embarrassing display of hubris by a creative in the 20th century.
I think about this post anytime I think I'm too big for my own boots. It grounds me. It keeps me sane.
A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.
Fucking hell when I pointed out this morning Ellison had a history of hiring (untalented) men who faced allegations of sexual harassment, had no idea a new one would drop in hours www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
βMy therapist keeps telling me I shouldnβt care as much about what other people think of meβ¦β
βAnd theyβd be proud of me if I did that too, right?β
I find it weird that the First Lady who never met Epstein was interviewed about him but not the First Lady who dated him...
Havenβt met anyone who is openly transphobic that isnβt also in the midst of a full blown mental health crisis they refuse to get treatment for.

Welp, looks like that's the end of FEMA, the Coast Guard, and TSA.
remember when the panama papers came out and we found out every rich person on earth was committing tax fraud and then nothing happened
More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the Presidentβs House.

Well, people sure donβt like him.
So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.
Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs. The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that theyβre the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesiveβbecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about βWestern civilization,β while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.
Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significantβthough not finalβvictory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
