168 people reported killed. Mostly children. Their family members will never ever forgive us. I don't care that it was next to a military base - if you can't shoot straight, you shouldn't be shooting. If you're trying to call them "human shields," well, US military bases have schools too.
Even when Macron expresses solidarity with Lebanon his most tangible action is to send armored vehicles to a do nothing army for a do nothing central government. Where are the sanctions on the aggressor state which now occupies the territory of three other countries France has relations with?
It's ok to simply condemn a military action as immoral without even questioning whether or not it's illegal. It can be immoral, condemnable, and unambiguously wrong without being illegal!
if you were to write a prophecy of the future back in 2000 that "in 2026, President Donald John Trump has launched a war on Iran with Israel after previously attempting a coup to stay in power in 2020", people would think you've gone insane
Heard some faint low rumblings in the distance, @professormusgrave.bsky.social reports hearing booms from his location . In any event we just got the all clear and my boozer may proceed
Balls! There go my plans for a boozer with some friends tonight
It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”
Interesting long-form memorandum from an Israeli think tank which predicts that as Israel's one-state (apartheidst) reality further coheres and concretizes, the most likely pathways almost all end with the end of the Jewish state.
Old Hollywood actually can do it That Good
Tehran was already experiencing a water shortage crisis before the war started
Tehran was experiencing a water shortage before the war started. This is a war crime and an attempt to cause chaos and state collapse.
This is one of those things that is less sexy to talk about but is unequivocally a war crime
>indefinitely at war with Persia
Yeah that checks out
Great. Just great. Fanfuckingtastic.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
So I guess that’s why I slept through those warnings in the middle of the night; they’re likely to have intercepted the drones using aircraft over the Persian Gulf. Sure would have been nice to have had a timely warning about yesterday’s barrage rather than twenty minutes after it was over

This is the kind of journalist an editor yearns for at a time like this: A Persian-fluent reporter w/ deep experience covering Iranian politics and policies.
She used to work at the Washpost.
Then Bezos dismantled the international coverage.
Now she’s at the NYT

Fuck fuck fuck
And on the coffee table
Nevertheless I’m going out for lunch with a group of friends and then having a different group of friends over for drinks in the evening. I am well stocked with all the essentials
A good Emirati friend in Dubai just sent me this 😢
$40,000/year for 2 hours/day of AI-assisted education? Scam artists are apparently convinced there’s a nonzero population who’d like to pay a lot of money not to educate their kids.

It's abundantly clear that Trump & team had no plan for what to do if the Iranians didn't immediately surrender. And I'm sure they were told by the professionals that an immediate surrender was highly unlikely. So now they're floating random low-probability options while lying their asses off.
DHS keeps the fuck plane. Lewandowski stays on it and he has to fuck. Markwayne's problem now.
