A lot of you people who used to complain about the imperial boomerang coming back to America are weirdly silent when a CIA officer engineers an election in the way you like.
Curious.
Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

GREEK CAPTAIN OF A PANAMANIAN-FLAGGED MALAYSIAN OIL TANKER EN ROUTE TO AUSTRALIA WITH IRAQI CRUDE: "So is the Strait open or not?"
IRGC COMMANDER, REFRESHING TRUTH SOCIAL: "Look here man, I know just as much as you do, ok?"
Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.
"In the northern region of the Philippines, which supplies most of the country’s highland vegetables, like cabbage and broccoli, scarcity is killing abundance. Crops ready to be harvested last week are rotting in fertile fields, with farmers unable to afford the costs of transporting them to market"
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

ngl they kinda cooked us with this one
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"
i'll take the bold (for bluesky) position that working for raytheon or northrup or whatever does not make you an irredeemable person, but palantir is very different because they are making karp's insane worldview the company's official public position, they're explicitly saying you believe this, too
There's a sense in which I respect the evangelical leaders who unhesitatingly lined up behind the idea that President Pedophile B. Antichrist, the libertine looting and burning the world every day, is god's manifestation on earth. You have to rework your brain and moral sense so much to get there.
Massive U.S.–Israeli strikes hitting hospitals in Iran, forcing staff to evacuate newborns during the active phase of the war.
One hospital staff was seen carrying babies to safety.
The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

can't decide if rent-a-cop at a data center is the greatest low-demand job imaginable or the bleakest thing imaginable. you'd really get to catch up on your Candy Crush though.
$30/month for full ESPN package and $20/month for HBO+ if you want to stream all the playoff games this year. Bit much if you're only getting it for hockey.
The equivalent of a "Tizla strategy" for the US would be Mitt Romney running on a platform of overturning Citizens United, banning gerrymandering, court reform, and jailing half the administration. And I mean, if that were how ol' Mittens were rolling, I'd at least hear him out!
A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly
Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way
CHARLIE BROWN: Yes mistress, you're right, mistress, I'm a blockhead! a hopeless blockhead!
DOMINATRIX: wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah
The woman by Kennedy’s side is trying so hard not to laugh
anyway you really gotta work on that if a social media website going down for a bit causes you genuine emotional distress
Thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen for sharing US citizen Rachel Corrie’s story from the Senate floor and voting to block the destructive bulldozers that Israeli soldiers used to kill her.
Two do or die games tonight. St. Louis Blues vs Minnesota North Stars, fighting for the right to face the Maple Leafs in round 2. And out of town, some highlights of Flyers-Rangers:
Penguins/Flyers is my favorite sports rivalry. Round 1 playoff match up starts this weekend.
fox just had a banner referring to mamdani's planned grocery store as "trader zo's," and one must admit that's a good bit
The New York Times has reported that some Iranian ships are engaging in spoofing activities in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially to avoid the U.S. blockade. CSIS experts explain how ship spoofing works and what we can do to track these vessels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QoOR4CvHLU

"Do you realize how much water and power it’d take to replicate the average writer’s narcissism, self-loathing and despair? It’d drain the Indian Ocean. You could light up Times Square for a year. We can’t afford it."
Well yeah it's a liquid.
