The bottom line is Trump sacrificed 8 American lives (& counting) and more than 1,000 Iranian lives (& counting) for nothing. He hurt the US & global economies, destabilized the Middle East, & will pull out with the same Iranian regime in power. There's no silver lining.
A senseless, criminal waste
Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.

Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!
The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman
The fact that it happened is horrifying. The fact that no one is talking about it is also horrifying.
This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.
The ten second video was released by Iranian state media and directly contradicts statements made by President Trump, who said Iran was responsible for the strike. n.pr/4aVMqZi
That was also true in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:
Might be a reason the U.S. Constitution doesn’t leave this decision to the whims of one man
They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175
Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

You lost an hour of sleep. I woke up at 10 confused and afraid. We are not the same.
Installed Cornell’s app, Merlin. It said my bird of the day was the merlin. Did my first recording and it heard a merlin! Moments later a merlin crashed into our Cypress trees chasing a small bird!! The bird got away I think but the merlin landed in a nearby tree where I could watch it for a bit
They literally did this in the death camps during The Holocaust so I'm gonna remind everyone who caved and passed the bill to fund this stuff, it was @schumer.senate.gov. He spent YOUR tax money on this. Paying these men to bet on suicides. He should be on trial too.
usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.
15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.
There are currently 2,200 No Kings Day events planned in all 50 states, DC, and a dozen countries.

BREAKING:
The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.
They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

Markwayne Mullin might lead DHS? Was Dirk Banjofucker not available?
It appears we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, most of them children. This is who we are with Trump as president.
😡😡😡😡
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
From "Attention is all you need" to bombing a school of innocent children in 9 years. Something to think about as you're using AI to write an email or that function that you're too lazy to write.
they double-tapped a fucking girls elementary school
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
