SAME.

Clearly Vance is a distraction, and we’ve caught the Iranians off guard with Artemis II. We’re one more launch away from a scientific victory.

Genuinely one of the coolest things I've ever seen a cultural venue post

Hard same.

do not overlook anything out of the ordinary

watch the final trailer for EXIT 8

in theaters this Friday

If Trump commits war crimes in Iran, he can be prosecuted | Kenneth Roth There is no question that Trump’s threats, if carried out, would amount to war crimes. The international justice system is positioned to act

If Trump commits war crimes in Iran, he can be prosecuted | Kenneth Roth

Somebody skipped head day

It really do be like that sometimes

We need more of this in the world.

Can confirm.

Without hesitation, John Cena comes off stage to hug a fan battling cancer and offer him some words of encouragement.

Ummmmm

It is a perfect movie.

If you've never seen the intro to Dirty Pair: Project Eden, you may be surprised to discover that it's one of the most beautiful things ever animated.

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

WSJ: The likelihood of Iran closing the strait was discussed, Gen Caine predicted it, and Trump decided “Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait — and even if Iran tried, the U.S. military could handle it.”

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

It makes me so happy to hear you (specifically) say this ❤️

“Mission Accomplished”

Lindsey’s diplomacy working wonders in UAE.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Enthusiastic recommendation: “Inventing the Renaissance”, by Ada Palmer (@adapalmer.bsky.social).

Ngl, the book plays on so many of my intellectual chords, that it felt as if it were written for me, personally, as if I were a rich Florentine merchant living the life in the 1400s.

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.

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship The Geneva Conventions say nations have a duty to “take all possible measures” to help rescue victims of shipwrecks. A U.S. submarine left that to Sri Lanka.

“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”

Azerbaijan just closed airspace "in the south of the country" per Bloomberg macro squawk. Losing that link would have a massive impact on Europe-Asia (incl the Indian subcontinent and ANZ) air travel.

It's judicial calvinball. They get away with it through procedural posturing and how they grant cert to particular questions. They specifically avoided granting cert on parental rights to the supportive parents of trans youth but acted on an emergency basis for transphobic parents.
