We live in a world beyond parody. The United States has had four minesweeper vessels in the Persian Gulf for 35 years. Just yesterday these ships arrived in Philadelphia to be decommissioned, a day before Iran announces that they are mining the Strait of Hormuz.

LET'S NOT PLAY FRISBEE WITH THAT POET ANYMORE. [This is a comic strip, with a poem laid over it. On each panel a new line of the poem is written. The scene is a park, in the summer. A man in a trenchcoat - implicitly Philip Larkin - stands folorn, motionless, looking at people throwing a frisbee. It becomes apparent as the comic progresses that they are trying to play frisbee with him. He stand stock still for the whole comic, watching the frisbee as, panel by panel it soars closer and closer to him]. After contemplating the approaching frisbee for two silent panels, Philip begins his thoughts: Unloosed, unheralded, You soar toward me Across the dying afternoon. bright disc of childhood, Long since thrown wide Of Youth's green imaginings, Your slow declining arc Figures a sky-written truth: We will all succumb, and soon To earth's hard oblivion. [The frisbee hits Philip on the head with a resounding DONK. He falls backwards, to the ground. [Ends]

Illustration of a three-toed sloth clinging to a tree branch, depicted in detailed black ink lines. The sloth’s rounded head, small facial features, and dense, shaggy fur are clearly shown, with distinctive markings on its back. Its curved claws grasp the textured branch firmly. The image includes fine cross-hatching to emphasize the sloth's fur and the bark of the tree. Text beside the sloth identifies it as "The Three-Toed Sloth" with the scientific name Bradypus tridactylus and notes its length as two feet. The drawing is from an 1827 London publication titled "The class Mammalia."

I love everything about this! The conviction that a major figure was not struck by a bolt of lightning but worked to understand the system he would ultimately critique and help dismantle. The scholarly sleuthing rare books — all of it. 😎🤓

"multipolarity" is just a polite way to refer to a new era of imperialism, and it's one that looks a lot like early modern european imperialism of the 16th, 17th centuries: small raiding fleets attacking vulnerable ports with devastating firepower, taking concessions without any need for an army

This obviously very stupid but is it also smart? We’ll talk to some liars after this break.

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.

A data point to remember re: “popularism” is that the popular position on what is happening in Iran and happened in Venezuela is “no war, this is insane, full stop” and the moderate elected officials we are supposed to like are saying contorted, legalistic, unpopular word salad instead of that.
