everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

I usually say it feels like we’re strapped into a bus going 100 miles per hour with a drunken clown driving, but I think Will’s version is better.

Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...

I hope you’re right.

Old: I’m gonna do a Venezuela in Iran.

New: I would have done a Venezuela in Vietnam.

Illustrating once again the extent to which the Venezuela raid emboldened Trump to engage in further military adventurism.

This was helpful. Thank you.

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

I really cannot emphasize just how much it matters that we, collectively, really concertedly start telling the Billionaire Techo-Fascist Class, "NO. FUCK OFF. ABSOLUTELY NO." & just keep chanting it at these unfuckable dweebazoid loser dorks until the end of fucking time.

Trump Warns Iran To Accept His Ultimatum Or Face Wrath Of Next Ultimatum The ONION

Truth.

What would say if I turned CPAC’s comments section into a 2000’s emo pop rock song 4 Virginia’s redistricting amendment?

Because I did. 💙

VOTE YES!

I wasn’t even calm just watching this. 🤣

I grew up in the middle of the big, open desert west of Phoenix in the 70s, so I’ve encountered rattlers before, but it was a long time ago and I don’t recall any that big and skeery. 😱

I am apparently less brave now because I about peed my pants watching your videos. 😂

Kind of wild but it seems like Iran is the first major (person/institution/country) with the power to draw blood that Trump has picked a fight with that doesn’t have the incentive to be like “eh let’s kind of humor him and wait it out until he’s gone.”

Hungary must arrest Netanyahu if he visits, Magyar says Israeli PM Netanyahu, wanted by the International Criminal Court, is due to visit Hungary later this year.

Hungary’s Prime Minister-elect Péter Magyar said Monday that his country must take Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu into custody if he enters Hungarian territory while wanted by the International Criminal Court.

My son went through that in China as well. That’s why I get so irritated when people here start bitching about “lockdowns” they supposedly endured. We had no lockdowns. We had some restrictions, but at no point were people in the U.S. locked in their homes, prevented from going outside.

"Trump’s top aides have taken turns telling the president that he should limit the impromptu interviews because they were only convincing the public he had contradictory messages. ... For a bit, he agreed to curb them—then soon returned."

He can't process being unable to BS his way out.

Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'Israel never talked me into the war with Iran, the results of Oct. 7th, added to my lifelong opinion that IRAN CAN NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON, did. I watch and read the FAKE NEWS Pundits and Polls in total disbelief. 90% of what they say are lies and made up stories, and the polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged. Just like the results in Venezuela, which the media doesn’t like talking about, the results in Iran will be amazing - And if Iran’s new leaders (Regime Change!) are smart, Iran can have a great and prosperous future! President DJT'

This reads like someone trying very hard to believe their own story.

Trump lives in a fantasy world of his own creation, where he is the hero doing what no president before has ever dared to do. And he's surrounded by people who do nothing but praise the naked emperor's incredible wardrobe, and tell him that the world is in awe of him. No way this ends well.

Teachers in Russia’s Chelyabinsk region were instructed to read out an edited version of a speech by Adolf Hitler. Eight out of 12 schools agreed.

The stunt was organized by Belarusian activist Vladislav Bokhan.
He took Hitler’s speech from September 1, 1939,

AI chatbots could be making you stupider As large language models take over more and more cognitive tasks, researchers are warning this mental outsourcing comes with a cost.

“…there is now growing alarm that as we offload even more of our thinking to LLMs and other forms of AI, the effects on our memories and ability to solve problems could get worse.”
