1953 Iranian coup d'état

Coup to depose Prime Minister Mohammed Mosaddegh

On 19 August 1953, Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Mosaddegh was overthrown in a coup d'état that strengthened the rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the shah of Iran. It was instigated by the United Kingdom (MI6), under the name Operation Boot[5] [6] [7] [8] and the United States (CIA), under the name TP-AJAX Project [9] or Operation Ajax. A key motive was to protect British oil interests in Iran after Mosaddegh nationalized the country's oil industry.[10] [11] [12]

Why doesn't Microsoft Word, or any of their programs for that matter, have autocorrect for misspelled words? It's smart enough to highlight the word, so why can't it just autocorrect it, too, like on our phones?

It's kind of a half assed attempt at being a warehouse store.

You're with him all the time. He can eat alone for a meal and you can enjoy a meal with her instead.

Before you know it, he'll be telling us to eat insects and MAGA will embrace it.

Man, there was an attempt to move 20k libertarians to New Hampshire several years ago. They thought that was enough movers to effect change in the state. 400k people would blow that away.

There needs to be fucking penalties for lying to press charges.

And should be prosecuted as such!

Welp, the NYT games app is officially broken unless they get to show ads. I've been using it fine for months with AdGuard until today. Not paying for it and not unblocking ads.

I met Jesse Jackson once while I was an associate producer for a syndicated talk radio show called Beyond the Beltway w/ Bruce DuMont. He was an in-studio guest. Super nice guy.

Wasn't there an email that indicated Trump was having Thanksgiving with Epstein in 2017 or am I misremembering?

I'm guessing they'll remove Stonewall as a national monument, as well. 😡

Looks like he realized he's going to have spit in his food any time he goes out to eat.

There is just no bottom to the pit that is Donald Trump.

Photo of Jake Lang dressed in camouflage in Minneapolis just before he knocked over an anti-ICE sculpture. The photo is overlayed with a My Little Pony rainbow meme with the word Fabulous.
