the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default
“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

This part right here, is very important for everyone to understand
these people should all hang
the burden of proof is on the people who just wiped out a grade school.
now I'm sure they're going to claim this was an accident. a sad consequence of where the school was located. this is nonsense.
unless proven otherwise you should assume those children were targeted maliciously.
schools are never valid military targets, on or off base
if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime.
The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.
I prefer non-lethal distractions from the tRUMPSTEIN Files like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, making Canada the 51st state & buying Greenland. Sure it was hugely offensive to longtime friends & allies, but at least no one died.
To understand what's happening in Iran today, you have to know about the history of Western intervention in the country.
In the early 1900s, the British secured oil rights in the country until 1993, where they only agreed to pay Iran 16% of the total profits.
This was seen as an unfair deal. 🧵
Israel's most moral army in the world just can't stop bombing hospitals, and they're out of hospitals in Gaza because of their continued genocide.

It's 2003
A republican is POTUS because Dems lost a winnable election against an imbecile & a complicit SCOTUS
GOP cuts taxes for billionaires, guts social services, & expands the military
Citing Jesus & Israel, GOP POTUS illegally bombs a Muslim majority nation based on WMD propaganda
It's 2026
"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.
Nothing is surprising about the US starting another war. Nothing is more dangerous to Earth and mankind at large than the United States and its complete and utter failure to curtail the worst excesses of humanity. The US oligarchy and its influence on global politics must end.
Don’t let anyone tell you that this unhinged war of aggression the United States and Israel just instigated against Iran is justified.
In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.
oh no they scraped your stuff without permission oh no
imagine a world where regulators would actually fucking do something about this
Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car
I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head
re @anthropic.com:
I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.
These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.
don't we all
So..... how's YOUR week going so far?
The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...
@garybrannan.bsky.social "Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea."
Got to love it when someone in the Civil Service can fire back at these ignorant morons.
Thinking of Virginia Giuffre and her family. Wishing this happened sooner, but would not have happened at all without her heroism.
I feel like people think "birds are dinosaurs" is a weird fun fact that is "technically true" but I don't know how to emphasize that there are tens of thousands of species of theropod dinosaur on the planet with us right now. People keep them AS PETS.
WE EAT THEM.
you can't work with Republicans. you can't compromise with them either. you either win or they do.
another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood
the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated
