This is insanity.

I don't think the U.S. military ever gave up the My Lai Massacre mindset.
BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehranβs main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the cityβs sewers.
This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight.

I mean, one side is overtly evil. So even though the other side often sucks, we vote for it anyhow, because in the cold math of politics a limp noodle that only votes in favor of egregious abuses of power 50% of the time is better than voting for the evil guy who votes pro-abuse 100% of the time.
Shills and hucksters have always existed. The only things that have changed about the job are the technology and the job title.
Hang on hang on, I knew we were at mass surveillance because SCOTUS doesn't care about the 4th Amendment anymore, but I hadn't fully grasped that lethal source can now be used by AI with no oversight or legal culpability.
I may need to sit with that one for a minute.
Thought I lost a bunch of writing progress, but was able to get it all back.
Thank you bibisco and fuck you very much Google Drive.
I'm now switching to an old-school thumb drive instead of using the cloud to be able to shuffle between desktop and laptop.

This week's comic: The Big Dumb War Cycle
A good old-fashioned oil shock.
Whoever could have predicted consequences for our actions?
just fwiw, here are the arguments being made, in order:
1. iran has apologized to its neighbors and admitted it lost
2. this is unprecedented and because of me
3. iran has not surrendered and will collapse if it doesnβt admit it lost
4. i am going to bomb iran more and worse until it surrenders

CBP appears to be holding a US CITIZEN at the Dodge County, WI jail. They held her for 30 hours at O'Hare, sent her to Broadview (denying the whole time that they had her in custody), and now her phone is pinging from the Dodge Co., WI jail.
Can't be granted habeus if no lawyer knows where to file the claim
This appears to be a threat from the President to begin committing mass war crimes
Don't shun people just because they have different beliefs about blotting out the sun to usher in a new age of eternal darkness. We have to find an answer in the middle.
SCOOP β Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:

the fuck?
what, you're gonna get a little "mission accomplished" sign, declare victory and run away? if that's the case, please do.
oh, this hurts my heart.
1) mass murder
2) ???
3) massive and joyful Pride parades through Tehran
The bombings will continue until equality improves.
Dang, instead of the whole civil rights movement, we could've just bombed some people - and avoided Jim Crow, too!
...so you support mass-murdering people, including little kids, because their entrenched political leaders implemented and enabled bigoted policies?
*Looking around at the US* uhhh...
Justice Department: witnessβs files were initially withheld because they were mistakenly characterized as βduplicates.β
Right. The ones with Trump accused of assaulting a child just happened to be the ones.
Did they say under investigation? Whoopsies, silly mistake, they meant NOT under investigation.

Who could have imagined that starting a regional war in the region that the good oil comes from would make it more expensive to get the oil.
Even if it's all just business to you and you don't care about the impact on human beings and our shared planet it's π still π not π profitable.
Even if you don't care about environmental impact, think energy prices will level out, don't care about IP, and think deep fakes are neat, even if you're a total Ferengi-hearted slimeball...
Ignore the hype: AI STILL makes no net profit. Claude's turning to merc work to try to defray expenses.
Theyβre calling it the most reassuring message of all time

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
