Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

U.S. forces likely bombed an Iranian elementary school on Feb. 28 during an operation targeting a nearby military base, a New York Times analysis suggests. It is the deadliest known episode of civilian casualties since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran β€” and no side has yet taken responsibility.

I heard about it at 915 in the lobby that night! But perhaps.

I actually thought of the party angle bc you mentioned gatherings as a talking point in your post! :-) The story going around is that they filed a permit application for 130 instead of 1300 (or something similar). It's a shame, bc an industry reunion would've been fun.

I didn’t see any soul apparent Friday night while six hundred people with tickets waited in vain in the lobby to get in to a party.

This beautiful small book, THREE CHORDS AND BLESSED NOISE by @carynrose.bsky.social, arrived a few days ago and I can’t wait to tear through it. A small, immediately published physical tour diary is as up my alley as it gets.

Apparently on the permit they applied for 130 attendees when they meant 1300? Fyre Festival vibes for sure

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this - thanks, Matt! We suggested this to Bob and he told us it was one of his favorites. What a thrill.

Here we’ve got Sam Cohen, me, Bryan Devendorf, Scott Devendorf, and Walter Martin, w/ Josh Kaufman and Kyle Resnick out of frame. Aaron Dessner hadn’t arrived yet…
