This is silly. You're living in a culmination of circumstances easily traceable back to the foundation of the nation, and future historians will look at its complexity the same way they look at the clusterfuck that lead to WWI.
Fascinating to watch 🇫🇷, then 🇬🇧, then 🇮🇹, now 🇩🇪 start to acknowledge what 🇪🇸's government recognised from the very start: the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is a reckless intervention conducted without regard for rules of war and without a strategy for what comes next.

Yes, don’t blame the country founded on genocide, slavery and white supremacy. Russia and *only* Russia is to blame. Putin made SCOTUS elect Bush in 2000. Gaza was Putin. Jim Crow was Putin, as was Citizens United and Vietnam.
Every vas thing your country has done was really Russia’s fault.
Really? I seem to recall the same guy got elected in 2016.
And the party of the woman with a record of competence found it beyond the pale that some expected them to abide by international law. Perhaps the problem runs a tiny bit deeper. Maybe it didn’t start in 2024.
I tend to think it’ll look pretty straightforward to future historians. Taking into account the country’s history since its founding, and especially in the last 30 years? Yeah, checks out.
I think they’ll be puzzled by why the rest of the population allowed it to happen though.
By this logic a carrot, a washing machine or your childs first drawing are all conscious too.
I think some of these AI people might not be very smart.
Good thing no schools full of brown children got bombed during Bidens presidency
“It is not the job of a presidential candidate to get people to vote for her”
No wonder America ended up in this mess
Humanity runs on spite lmao
80 Days is a wonderful little game and you should play it if you haven’t
Weird how this keeps happening
The real insanity is that people take a phenomenon that has been happening since Reagan and try to pretend it is *only* about Trump and in no way indicative of a problem with US society
(Beartato and Reginald, in a museum, gaze upon the Mona Lisa) BEARTATO: There it is. The Mona Lisa. The most famous painting in history. REGINALD: Wow! What's it do? BEARTATO: It... what? REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)
True Art
Why are you lying?

At the same time they drift further and further away from being able to effectively communicate since the chatbot will yes, and them no matter what they say.
When they think about that party last week, they will remember it as not just a party -- but a celebration.
Good thing Israel doesn’t imprison, torture or execute people.
Nothing more hurtful than discovering what you thought was a deep friendship is fake
Totally normal thing for Senior Counsel at DOJ to tweet out at 2am
I genuinely can't figure out if everyone at Anthropic has had their brains completely rotted away by exposure to LLMs, or if they're just cynically making this shit up to convince the gullible that their product is more than it is
Exactly 1 post to go from "Israel is blackmailing Trump into this" to express and wild antisemitic noticing, must be a coincidence
But both of those statements are objectively true? I don’t see what purpose is served by pretending that what is happening now is caused solely by one singular man.
We can say that Trump’s actions are abnormal without whitewashing America’s history
2006: don’t be evil
2016: but really, what *is* evil?

Zelenskyy says more US-made Patriot defence systems were used in three days of the Iran war than in Ukraine since 2022.
Now the US Treasury is giving India a 30-day pause on sanctions to buy millions of barrels of Russian oil. Every day this war goes on is literally strengthening the Russian economy while simultaneously depleting missile defenses available for Ukraine in the upcoming Russian summer offensive.
Lammy is asked if UK forces are attacking sites in Iran. He confirms that yes, if we anticipate being attacked by Iran, we can attack sites there
See how it works. We 'defensively' stop Iran retaliating after being attacked by the US/Israel, they respond so we start bombing them
What a country
A story which doesn’t state the strike *happened*, just that (implicitly evil and unreliable) Iranian state media *claims* it did?
Gosh yes, you sure showed them
You’re saying they bombed a girls school knowing it was a girls school and intending to hit a girls school then
I really try to be a "now that you're on board, here's what you do" person but bro come on, this cannot possibly be news to you
We apologise to people with screen readers: this is a flowchart aimed at answering the question "Which Greek Philosopher Are You?" First question is: "Do you prefer the indoors or outdoors?" If you choose "indoors", the next question is "Do you feel disdain for the common man?" If Yes, you're Plato. If No, you're Aristotle. If you reply "Outdoors", the follow-up is "Do you enjoy masturbating in public?" If yes, you're Diogenes. If no, the next question is, "Do you like crowds?" If yes, you're Socrates. If no, you are asked "Porch or garden?" If your reply is "Porch", you're Zeno; if it's "Garden", you're Epicurus.
Couldn't trace this back to a definitive creator, but: Epicurus all the way, bro
As Israel invades Lebanon, occupies more Lebanese territory, bombs the capital, murders civilians & terrorises hundreds of thousands of people there, president Macron urges Hezbollah to stop attacking Israel.
