Saudi Arabia Has Intensified Direct Line to Iran to Defuse War Saudi Arabia has stepped up direct engagement with Iran to try and contain a war in the Middle East that is causing havoc and stressing global markets, according to several European officials.

They KSA is attempting to engage with Iran and not with its ostensible allies about de-escalating says *a lot* about us and very little about Iran.

In fact: Their online policies are pretty much directly designed to keep kids away from the cesspool that's Xbox live. And XBL is basically WHY we're bombing Iran.

Couple things here:

1. What the fuck
2. I am allllllmost more offended by the suggestion that I would give this shitbox edit than having my identity stolen
3. The CEO is scheduled to be on Decoder soon and we will see if they back out!

If Grammarly's CEO bails, just build an AI tool to represent him and let *it* answer the questions.

Quite right slick.

Gosh, maybe the DoD really *does* need Claude.

Guardian points out reporter Estefany Rodriguez “produced reports that were unflattering to ICE” — and she and her husband were in a marked Nashville Noticias vehicle when they grabbed her🤔

"WASTED"

There's a moral vacuum at the heart of this administration.

I'm not talking about the girls' school. The White House posting "WASTED" over a photo of the killing of combatants reflects an utter lack of humanity.

This is who we are, because we voted for these ghoulish, cruel bullies.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

Again. This matters.

It’s been oddly surreal to hear the news framing the news around regime change in Iran and Cuba as the culmination of decades of shared agreement when Obama did significantly change US policy towards both in pretty recent memory.

If he wants to manage the Yankees instead of being president I’m all for it.

Me.

Yep. Shoulda.

I think I should log off before I learn the context of this.

Who let Nostalgia out of the broom closet.

No one yell at me for checking my email on PTO.

“Employee appreciation day” on a day of the week when 90% of people are remote is 🧑‍🍳😘

recession indicators flashing red, a dumb republican president dragging us into a manufactured war in the middle east, britney spears dui, justin timberlake lawsuit about his dui

boy 2006 sure is fun

This will be a test re: whether the U.S. population knows who to be mad at.

“Unexpectedly”?

This is why I don't trust anyone who uses the term "politically correct" derisively

“We bombed a school and killed all 100+ students inside because an AI chatbot said it was a military facility” is yet another true thing you can’t say to offline normies without sounding like a crazy person

I know it's a fun place to shop for stylish clothing, housewares, beauty products and packaged food at affordable prices. The problem is the bigotry. Spend the billions in reparations to the people you threw under the bus.

Oops, all war crimes!

You’d think people would listen after the same people warned them about Fetterman.

Tate was trying to get to Dubai on a bus.

When they got to the Saudi border everyone was told to get off for passport and baggage checks and Tate decided to stay on - presumably because the bus was air conditioned and he didn't want to stand in a queue.

He then got detained by Saudi guards.

What a terrible day to have eyes to read - let's yell at 2023 Marisa

more statements coming out re: Iran’s women’s national team. @fifpro.bsky.social Asia/Oceania is calling on #FIFA and the #AFC to uphold their human rights obligations and protect the players.
