In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

An Iranian drone exploded within shockwave distance of my godson in Erbil, who is four years old, and he cannot stop breaking down crying randomly now and isn't really eating.

Just in case you'd bought into the "poor plucky Iran" bullshit. Fuck Trump's war, and fuck the IRGC.

They clearly don’t realize what they’re missing! Thank you for continuing to try to learn more!

Met this fine chap on my morning walk

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Hate it when someone chops my arm off as I reach the top of the siege ladder. Ok I guess I’ll just tumble screaming into the throng of attackers below ?

Quick question does anyone know how to restore virtue to a decaying society

I saw this Variety headline and the mini @tvaziri.com, who lives in my head, laughed.

Daily Memo: People Are Being Taken From Downtown L.A.'s Hidden ICE ISAP Check-ins And A Break Down of ‘Shield of the Americas’ and Trump’s ‘Donroe Doctrine’

PEOPLE: - Shigeru Miyamoto, age 46. Producer and Co-Director of The Legend of Zelda. - Gunpei Yokoi, age 57. Creator of the D-Pad and the Game Boy. Miyamoto’s lead from 1980-1983. QUOTE: Q: Before interviewing you Mr. Miyamoto, I visited Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine. Then, when I stopped by a souvenir shop, I saw plates and jars with the familiar triangular mark everywhere! Is the Triforce related to the shrine? Miyamoto: No, it has nothing to do with it. Gunpei Yokoi's family crest was the same, but I only found out about that later. It was a complete coincidence. When we were first making Zelda, we were wondering what kind of items to use, and we decided that some kind of “triangle power” would be good, so that's how it came about. The design was the most beautiful and fit well.

Miyamoto denies a connection between the Triforce symbol and the Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine, 1999.

An important academic update

Halal Truck Mr. Beast

Eldest boy has taken to sending me messages and emails sporadically that look normal but when opened are just Halal Truck Mr. Beast

A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable

Made it to Friday but at what cost

Everyone saying this is just a cover for anti-lgbtq censorship is right BUT

It's also a way to prevent new entrants into online social media as only large incumbent companies can afford to comply with these onerous rules. It's anticompetitive.

I remember when ‘Brexit Means Brexit’ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the ‘war’ in Iran. And it’s mostly the same people doing it.

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.

And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

Thing is, they haven't done the thing and Schumer has repeatedly (eventually) said the right thing and then just not done it. Wishing for the best but no longereholding my breath. Also "reined in" is pretty damn weak under the circumstances.

Find Your Representative Find your representatives. Learn how to find and connect with them. Stay informed about their bills, committees, and contributions.

I just called my US senators and told them to publicly call for Tim Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting and apparently breaking the hand of a Marine today.

You can call your Senators, too.

Find them here: reps.fyi

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

😹 Also hurrah for Kenney's free assets (a solution not mentioned in the alt text)!

Sinking an uninvolved naval vessel from a nation you're not technically at war with as a "preventative measure". I guess that's one way to characterize Pearl Harbor.

Fuck. I think we all know now what that "overseas deployment supporting advanced technology deployment for the armed forces" was.

South Dakota's "Meth. We're on it" campaign

I'll always remember Kristi Noem for the "Meth. We're on it." campaign.

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Im in awe of Brad`s writing and how well he encapsulated my words.

I was all over the place during the interview, switching from one thought to another and yet he kept up and wrote it so meaningfully.

I am so touched! thank you @bradshankar.bsky.social

Now that I think about it, people choosing to "Live with the virus" (as incubators) are basically suicide bombers.
