My tiny gripe is a college course that relies on several guest lectures isn’t really a class, but a semesters long Ted Talk. I question the utility of such a format.

I fully believe Hegseth has it in him to lose an entire ship, up to and including an aircraft carrier, and more importantly I think there's no one in the White House who would argue against risking it

@AJEnglish Al Jazeera’s Heidi Pett says journalist Amal Khalil received threats from an Israeli WhatsApp number during the last war, warning her to stop reporting or leave Lebanon “if she wanted her head to remain on her shoulders,” before being killed today in an Israeli attack.
Israel has killed more journalists than any other nation in history.
More than the total number of journalists killed during the U.S. Civil War, WWI, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War combined.
When they received the call to respond to an Israeli airstrike in the city of Mayfadoun, in southern Lebanon, most of the paramedics held back, having previously seen colleagues killed by double-tap attacks targeting rescuers. But the medics from the Islamic Health Association (IHA) rushed to the scene. By the time the other emergency workers arrived at the site, they found the IHA medics had indeed been caught in a second strike. They started evacuating their wounded colleagues, only for their ambulances to be hit in two further attacks. One of the paramedics covered his ears and screamed, convulsing in pain as shrapnel shattered the back window of the ambulance. The rescue mission on Wednesday afternoon had turned into a nightmare as Israel carried out three consecutive strikes on three sets of ambulances and medical workers.
Israel performed a literal quadruple tap attack in Lebanon to massacre three separate sets of medics.
Truly pushing the bounds of human depravity.

Not sure how long the markets can keep waltzing past this. But diesel and jet fuel shortages mean either stuff won’t move or it’s gonna move a lot more expensively.

Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found.
More than $1 billion in fraud losses were routed through the company’s financial services between 2013 and 2022.

The U.S. has alway been, in poli sci terms, a benevolent hegemon. (And yes I know what the problems are with that.) but what Trump and Hegseth etc want is hard imperialism with no multilateralism.
I also think a lot of American GOP propaganda around bombing Iran is built around the racist idea that Iranians are some kind of primitive people who don’t know what modernity is and reject it. So in that sense making even better memes than the stupid shit Trump puts out is smart contradiction
Kash Patel as Lego with big weird eyes and lots of beers
I know we’re not supposed to like the Iranian social media teen meme army seeing us for what we’ve told them we are on the Internet but I like to think this kind of thing is really just them reaching out and saying we don’t like this either and know you’ll appreciate the hilarity
The whining from the worst Republican you know will be quite delicious
