"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
These are the 4 things AI can do well:
•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday
You can see why we need to base our economy around it
"The Teamsters are a great union that does amazing things for workers, so it's unfortunate their president is willing to throw our working immigrant brothers and sisters under the bus." Any union leaders feel free to steal this statement! Free!
One of the things the Iran War is clarifying is that AI integration into the military will mean that your children will be sent to war in the Middle East to protect the data centers of the Gulf and Israel.
Also, here’s a podcast episode where I talk AI, Anthropic & Iran with @devindra.bsky.social:
Really important to wear your chef’s coat for this sort of thing
I am demanding that the Democrats invite Mullin’s accusers to testify about this weirdo behavior in painstaking detail.
I want charts. Expert witnesses. Reenactments.

First they came for the trans people, and I said nothing because I wasn’t trans. Then they were like actually I’m pretty sure you are trans and I said no I’m not and they went okay well show us your penis then and I said what no get out of my face and they said that one’s a girl get her
Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.
Want to know how broken our media is? We are in an illegal war, & reporters/anchors are getting on the phone with Trump daily & just…relaying his words to their viewers, like stenographers. No challenging questions or follow-ups, no discomforting of Trump.
Try independent media:

This was clear from the jump, but the Venezuela invasion going as smoothly as it did, from a pure operational perspective, is going to prove catastrophic in the long run.
Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn
Steve-O got a ruptured testicle by letting one of his castmates jump on his crotch with a pogo stick and he is unquestionably more morally sophisticated than most of our sitting lawmakers
This simply doesn't seem all that far-fetched and needs to be investigated.
hahahahahahaha
Why is this circulating again // this should never stop circulating
Prosecute Noem. Don’t forget about her.
I don't like the wings at one bar I go to, I don't like that the orange chicken at Panda Express has more sugar and sodium than I'd prefer, but I'm still going to the bar and eating the orange chicken, because into every life a little rain must fall
among other things, it's very very funny to imagine Trump having granular knowledge and strong opinions about various obscure Iranian regime figures possibly in the running.
like there's a lot of people who have no problem with abortion or marriage equality but they're never gonna vote for some commie dem who wants to institute sharia law
relatedly, Talarico is unlikely to win texas because being a republican is an important aspect of too many people's identity here, even if they disagree with the far right lunatics in the legislature on specific issues bsky.app/profile/yair...
Note that Gavin Newsom's main objection to a state wealth tax is "billionaires will go to another state"--an objection that is solved by having a national wealth tax. Remember this when Newsom comes out against a national wealth tax when he runs for president.

Another member of the chat, William Bejerano — who tried to start a pro-life group at Miami Dade College — was the primary user of the n-word in the group. At one point, he posted a block of text calling for dozens of acts of extreme violence against Black people, who he referred to using the n-word, including crucifying, beheading and dissecting people. Bejerano hung up the phone when reached by the Herald.
![Dariel Gonzalez, the College Republicans’ recruitment chairman at the time, responded in the chat: “How edgy.” “Ew you had colored professors?!” Gonzalez wrote at another point. “I reguse [sic] to be indoctrinated by the coloreds.” He told the group he used the term “colored” because, “I was told we cant say black anymore.” A couple days later, he added: “Avoid the coloreds like the plague.” He did not respond to a request for comment. The group chat members — which included some women — also frequently discussed sex, sometimes describing women as “whores” and at one point using the k-word, a slur for Jewish people, to describe women they avoid.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lzlqyldh7nfc34pfffvd24ko/bafkreiba3tsaelrqqyuqmrs2mxzan2vjomxpvm4gxnzutvyhv23d2qj4wu)

Fun fact, fox news once tried to sic a mob on me because I wrote that being hispanic didn’t mean you couldn’t be a white supremacist, because race is subjective and many hispanics identify as white. Completely unrelated here’s how some Miami Republicans talk in private
Horrifying. Jesus Lord in heaven.
You materially support the war, even.
But like so many before him, he insisted on not covering his ears because he wanted to hear the questions
