These Middle Eastern News Sites Are Actually U.S. Government Propaganda Operations Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News publish pro-U.S. coverage about the war on Iran and the Trump administration’s plan to redevelop Gaza.

NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command.

The most moral military in the world keeps showing itself to be anything but. Also this is really tame compared to the war crimes in Gaza.

I checked this too.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

I’m glad that LLMs have some valid uses. Don’t blame people for fucking hating it or compare us to antivaxxers. That shit legitimately is one of the worst things that I’ve seen happen to the world, and I am old.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse

Good news of the day.

at last, under new management, infowars will achieve its destiny as the true number one source for bullshit on the internet

Exactly.

When my grandma got dementia some of her worst traits got exaggerated. Paranoia, distorted perception of reality became rather common. She who used to be kind became nasty. I see all the same symptoms in him, except he has never been kind. She unlike him was not in charge of anything at that stage.

Love this for him 🤣

Look like aliens. Very beautiful creatures.

Why this person got the Nobel peace prize is beyond my comprehension.

Now here is a worthy cause to join.

My grandma had late stage dementia before she passed. I was fortunate to be with her when she had her last lucid hours. The decline was a terrible thing to witness and endure. She changed so much. Having someone in charge of the most powerful military in the world this state is crazy.

I had forgotten this gem ☃️ I used to live in one of the houses hugging the little alley way where most of the action took place and shop my groceries in Kjötborg :)

The end will be imminent the moment Trump will show signs of mental clarity. Anyone who has walked with, an elderly dementia relative the last steps of life, knows the signs. I am waiting with urgent calmness.

If Mamdani and Obama singing The Wheels On The Bus with a group of tiny kids doesn't spark some sort of joy in you, I've got nothing for you.

Pope: [moral critique of illegal war]

Man if this dude had been in charge of the FBI in the nineties there’d be a lot of old hackers in the U.S. who wouldn’t have criminal records now.

Mamdani's Tax the Rich Agenda Isn't Spooking Wall Street Record jobs and fat real estate leases make finance the No. 1 industry again.

Efforts to defeat Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s push for higher taxes on the wealthy and corporations have led to stories predicting companies would flee New York.

But the numbers tell a different story.
