it feels strange how 'Iran destroys enemy military equipment' is being treated as both worse and more notable than 'USA destroys a school with children inside' by a bunch of politicians and some media
i don't think anyone at the time expected reagan tearing solar panels off the white house to spite jimmy carter would be such a significant metaphor for the 21st century
I maintain that simply arresting Elon musk and making a real example of him is the quickest way to global stability
I'm fairly sure neither this nor the school strike constitute, legally speaking, war crimes. However, I don't really care about that and think that the people who ordered it should go to jail even if we have to invent a special new law to do so.
the most sensible thing he could do would be to surrender, send iran a heartfelt apology and then resign and walk into the sea. but i doubt that's on the cards
this would be the second most foolish thing trump could do in this situation, so i guess we can hope this means he was successfully talked out of the first most foolish thing he could do (drop a nuke somewhere)
I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.
Hey remember when Putin got all his spetznaz killed on night one, and then had to rely on rando mercenaries and deputized regional warlords for his special operations?
do it bitch lets end vietnam effect with "worse vietnam"
clinton's plan to beat trump was to elevate him above the rest of the republican field and then coast to an easy victory. i don't think she was right about that

Every bsky staff member keeps talking about how the goal is Nice Social Media but then the second they're even remotely pushed back against for something shitty, and they immediately crash out for multiple days crying about their subhuman userbase.

An elementary school in the Iranian capital Tehran’s Niloufar Square has been struck in US-Israeli attacks, according to Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei. Baghaei on Friday shared a video on X, purportedly showing Shahid Hamedani School with students before and after the attack, without elaborating on the circumstances or the number of casualties.
The US and Israel have apparently attacked another elementary school in Iran, this one in Tehran.

Feels real fuckin good to be driving a Chevy Volt rn
If it helps to contextualize she's actually there for dipshit donny's academic sports conference (that wants to strip away profit sharing from student athletes, natch). Not iran stuff
a strange game. the only winning move is not to lose

I didn't think when I wrote
"Additionally, because oil deposits inevitably run dry, we often rely on extraction efforts happening in other countries which may or may not be friendly.... and [its] cost can change quite dramatically based on supply and demand"
it would be so prescient but, well...

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

The rapid turn within the Democratic Party against Israel — especially from several of its prospective presidential candidates — is awfully reminiscent of right-wing Republicans’ growing agitation against Ukraine several years ago during the middle of its ongoing war defending itself from Russian aggression. Both situations involved an activist faction of the party speaking out against a longtime ally, fueled by conspiracy theories and memes floating online. It was propelled by a growing isolationist vibe within both parties that the country should focus on domestic concerns instead of dealing with national security challenges abroad. And it led many politically ambitious elected officials who knew better to spout some of the most poisonous slander against close partners who are (literally) under fire from enemies. In our polarized political landscape, support for Israel and Ukraine are now becoming partisan issues — Republican elected officials and voters are overwhelmingly supportive of Israel, while Democrats are standing by Ukraine. As The Atlantic’s David Frum put it: “The two most militarily capable US allies are Ukraine and Israel. Weird to have a political system where one of the two parties despises the first, and the other is deciding it hates and resents the second. America needs and benefits from both those friendships!”
A wide range of polls have established just how extensive the erosion of US public support for Israel is. The most comprehensive recent survey about this was conducted by The Economist in August 2025. Here’s some of what they found: • Forty-three percent of voters favor decreasing military aid to Israel, with only 13 percent wanting to see an increase in such aid. Among Democrats, the decrease/increase ratio is 58 percent to 4 percent. Among independents, it’s almost the same. • Is Israel committing genocide? Forty-four percent of all voters say “yes” and 28 percent say “no.” Among Democrats, the ratio is 68 percent “yes” and just 8 percent “no.” And among independents, it’s 45 percent to 19 percent. Other polls show the same thing. Just last week, Gallup reported that, for the first time ever, more Americans say they sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis. And voters are repeatedly affirming that they are more likely to support candidates who advance such positions and less likely to vote for those who defend Israeli policies and want to maintain current levels of military aid to Israel.
It is funny that this publication still thinks that anti-Israel or Israel-skeptical sentiment is a fringe sentiment put forward by activists alone rather than the overwhelming consensus of the voting base of the party.
See the polling on the right
I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now
Russia invaded Ukraine and has bombed civilian areas.
Israel has invaded or bombed Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Yemen and Qatar, and has targeted schools, hospitals, mosques and churches.
Israel and Russia did the same shit, guys. The US did it in Iran, too.
