Not Parsi. Please?

Truly.

After those last protests, my hopes were guarded, but damn...still hard to believe they held water.

Oh god it's AI generated too

I have no mouth yet I must vomit

Starting to consciously root more and more for practicing Muslims these days...the idolatry thing makes so much more sense now.

Starting to get why some religions view idolatry as a taboo.

Tell me this is fake. Good lord, please?

Just to be clear, Pakistan's PM, the man who brokered the US-Iran ceasefire, is absolutely clear that the ceasefire deal that Trump agreed to INCLUDES LEBANON.

i wish we had more words like ‘cacophony’

words that sounds like hiccups and sneezes and stutters are the best words

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

The Unavoidable Realities of Geography The Imposed War on Iran, March 26, 2026

Since the 1st week of the war, the goals of the war have shifted from regime change and the breakup of the Iranian state to, more or less, returning the global oil markets to status quo antebellum. I wrote about how that happened, and what it means, here:

I'll be falling asleep to this.

Thank you.

Good lord, is that a thing? Yikes.

I couldn't see them. There was this huge snow-capped rock in the way.

Human beings aren't designed to remember secure passwords.

Saturday afternoon: Trump urges everyone to watch Mark Levin.

Saturday night: Levin advocates further US action in Iran, says "we've gotta get the uranium."

Sunday night: WSJ reports Trump is "weighing a military operation to extract nearly 1,000 pounds of uranium from Iran."

How do you fix a situation where a corrupt president can have his allies make bogus lawsuits against our own government, and then direct his corrupted "Justice Department" to settle and shell out taxpayer money to his corrupt friends?

We need to start thinking about writing laws around this *now*.

How's that radar installation doing, Rubio?

Discworld QOTD, from The Last Hero

“‘I can read and write,’ said Evil Harry. ‘Sorry. Part of the job. Etiquette, too. You’ve got to be polite to people when you march them out on the plank over the shark tank... it makes it more evil.’”

"I thought it was figured out before? How did we let that happen?"

Florida Sheriffs rebel against Trump's, DeSantis' mass deportation efforts • Florida Phoenix Florida Republican sheriffs want President Donald Trump to end mass deportations of undocumented immigrants who haven’t committed crimes, a striking shift from law enforcement in the nation’s most agg...

This is a REALLY big deal.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd: “…we are on the ground floor with this day in and day out — looking in the eyes of these folks that, yes, came here inappropriately. But some came here inappropriately only to do better for themselves and their family.”

Israeli police kill two young Palestinian boys and their parents in West Bank Mother, father and brothers aged five and seven shot in their car as they returned from Ramadan shopping trip

“Mohammed, five, Othman, seven, who was blind and had special needs, their mother Waad Bani Odeh, 35, and father Ali Bani Odeh, 37, were driving through their hometown of Tamoun late on Saturday when Israeli forces opened fire.”

Shot in the head and face. Executed with their parents. No words.

@DarriogMelanie on X: A top Trump official has been walking around with an electronic device gifted to him by senior foreign intelligence officials. Mar 14, 2026 Where are all of the “but, her emails,” Republicans on this one?

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Afghan asylum-seeker dies in ICE custody, US advocacy group says Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal is at least the 12th person to die ​in ICE detention this year.

He wasn't just an asylum seeker. Paktyawal was an Afghan special forces soldier who worked with the U.S. Army's 3rd Special Forces Group. He was evacuated on August 30, 2021, entered the U.S. legally and had a pending case with a work permit and social security number. Killed by ICE maggots.
