The school full of elementary school kids were Iranians who thought they were going to live.
This is a truly excellent list of resources for anyone seeking to broaden their understanding of Iran.
Trump was holding yet another sporting event Friday afternoon at the White House, trying to set policy for college sports, when he was asked by a Fox News reporter about reports that Russia may be passing along intelligence to the Iranians to help them fight the Americans. Trump turned it into a punchline: “That’s an easy problem compared to what we’re doing here,” he cracked, but then he turned on the reporter and said: “What a stupid question to be asking at this time.”
It's great that the White House Correspondents' Association is going to have a nice dinner with this man
Pete Hegseth reposted Lockheed Martin 2 @LockheedMartin X.com We have agreed to quadruple critical munitions production. As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago with @SecWar Hegseth and Deputy Secretary Feinberg. x.com/PeteHegseth/ st... Pete Hegseth • C @PeteHegseth. .4h Donald J. Trump Y @reaDonaldTrump We just concluded a very good meeting with the lardest US. Defense Manufacturina Companies
There’s something jarring about a defense contractor having to praise the president when they make announcements clearly for his benefit.
“As a result of President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, we began this work months ago…”
“Most British people aren’t personally racist” white people here used to name their cats the n word if they were black
Did you know that research in late 2025 showed that over 20% of the videos suggested by YouTube to a new user were AI slop?
I used to only post my best wildlife clips on YouTube but fuck it, low-quality footage from me is still better than low-quality fake footage

A photo of some beaded items, made with square letter beads, pony beads, and some stars and hearts, mainly on black string but some are on different colors. Left to right there are several keychains, a hand strap, and a variety of adjustable bracelets
A little market research...? How much would you be willing to pay for something like this - pictured here are keychains, a hand strap (intended for lightsticks but you could use it for whatever), and bracelets.
We had bats in our house and getting rid of them involved me calling a pest control service and someone coming over who looked about 14. He put on thick rubber gloves and took an empty ice cream pail, walked up to the bat and trapped him in the pail. Took him outside. Fini.
🧵Spotted On Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A small human (3?) is gifted a plushie lizard toy.
He carefully puts it on the ground.
And waits...
Hmm... no movement.
He gives Plushie Lizard a poke.
Hmm... Still no movement.
Biting his lip, he says solemnly. "Dad, my lizard might be broken." (1)
I've been wanting to do this trend for a bit, So I animated it!
Watching “Murder, She Wrote” and I’m struck by the fact that each episode’s guest stars are given an actual character/story arc to play
I feel like this is so rare right now. The great John Michael Higgins was on “Ghosts” this week and he had **nothing** to do because it was a nothing role
If it bothers you to see a Black person online say white people are racist, here's what you can do instead of attempting to refute them in their mentions. End racism.
Starting to think that every government and every military should have to employ at least one highly-ranked advisor with an catastrophizing anxiety disorder
This story is wild. As far as I can tell from the body camera clips I watched, the footage shows MPD special operations strategizing their forcible entry into private property without a warrant, based on the say-so of a political appointee with nothing more than a stack of print outs.
It’s okay i hate them both
People keep insisting that doesn't make him mercenary and I have given up on pointing out the statements about how much he enjoyed his combat time in Iraq & Afghanistan
Full offense but this is why the epstein files are so triggering to victims.
"Release the files" is just words to yall.
5 seconds later you'll turn around and say a woman who has chosen to play defense for her husband in them for years was "right about everything"
And not even out of love.
Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo
Three thousand sandhill cranes fly and strut in front of onlookers on a plain in Monte Vista.
If you’re not experiencing 3000 cranes at the Monte Vista Crane Festival, what are you even doing???
The protocol is open, many people are building beautiful things on it. Jack Dorsey is full of shit.
The best sculpture I saw in the art building in college was a ceramic piggy bank of Kermit and Miss Piggy in a BDSM scenario
me: you think somewhere there's a taxidermist who uses a stuffed pig as a piggy bank?
wife: we don't actually have to talk about every thought you have
I kind of love that a single Massachusetts town is threatening to fuck up the World Cup
The white characters act like it's completely normal that Morocco is French territory, never making the connection that the Nazis' drive to conquer the rest of Europe stems from the exact same white supremacist ideologies as France's colonization of Morocco (and many other countries).
Our investor class also fundamentally lack the theory of mind required to go “hmm, but what if the other parties to conflict don’t WANT to let Trump end the war.”
One thing I hate about all the defenses of Platner is the underlying, deeply dumb and destructive belief that it's all about casting. Wanted: Rugged bearded tell-it-like-it-is oysterman to appeal to the great anxious white center, the holy grail of politics. Further details not of immense concern. >
folks, I’m beginning to think we don’t actually live in a meritocracy
personally i prefer to view it as ridiculously unambitious autofiction. like imagine if the Finglonger from Futurama was way too daring for us to dream about as a focal point for a different life with different hopes and dreams. AI is huge for people afraid to dye their hair
