A lot of what is described on this site as a "war crime" might well not be. These laws, after all, were created by states, which gave themselves a lot of room for maneuver.
Attacks on desalination plants doesn't strike me as a difficult case. It is pretty clearly a war crime.
‘Israel kills dozens in Lebanon after failed mission to find pilot’s remains
Commandos started digging up grave thought to be of famous IDF pilot, leading to gunfight followed by airstrikes’
These thugs are insane.

Iran: Who knew that striking our Arab neighbors would make them angry?!
US: Who knew that starting a war in the Middle East would spike oil prices?!

Remember like a decade ago when people made fun of the "gendering glacier science" paper, but the basic point of the paper was just that discoveries in glacier science we often held back by a stubborn belief that real science must involve hiking up the glacier in a masculine fashion
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
We are not at war with Iran, although we have been for the last 50 years.
I mean the thing is at the end of the day, the American people voted to make things cheaper by voting for higher tariffs because liberals killed Peanut the Squirrel. I don’t know how to message for that kind of electorate and neither does anyone else.
If someone in your life talked like this, you would research involuntary commitment
It’s almost like he’s hoping for it so that he can have an excuse to use “emergency powers”
Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.
exactly! why send your kids to public school to be indoctrinated by the government when you could just *checks notes* buy them a Greek slave to teach them instead?!

In those subsequent interviews, the woman described how Epstein trafficked her to several men, including Trump, in the 1980s. She was interviewed again by the FBI on Aug. 7, 2019, Aug. 20, 2019 and Oct. 16, 2019. In her second interview, she claimed that Epstein either flew or drove her from South Carolina to New York or New Jersey when she was between 13 and 15 years old. "She was introduced to someone with money, money...it was Donald Trump," the FBI report said. She recalled she was in a "very tall building with huge rooms" when she met Trump, whom she said immediately didn't like her because she was a "boy-gir!" - or tomboy. She claimed she was with Epstein and several other people who left her alone in the room with Trump. "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be," she recalled Trump saying, according to the FBI report. She said he unzipped his pants and forced her head to his penis. She said she immediately bit him and Trump struck her, the report said. She told the FBI agents that she bit him because he "disgusted" her. In her third interview, she told agents she wanted to clarify how Trump reacted to her biting him, explaining that Trump "pulled her hair and punched her on the side of the head."
“A DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credible – and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation.
We are the dumbest species to ever walk the planet, and that includes cockroaches.
Yes, I’d like more podcasts, particularly history ones, with a reference list in the show notes or on an adjoining website, if they can’t be mentioned in the actual podcast.
Podcasters that are making series based on aggregating information from books:
1. Cite the books
2. Encourage your listeners to read past the information you gave them
Otherwise what you’re doing is a little culture vulture-y
That Trump repeats calls for Iran's unconditional surrender on same day he's got the defence industrial chiefs round for an emergency meeting on military supplies perfectly sums up his grasp of ends & means.
I’d suggest that the people who use Claude are feeling anxious, and the AI model is mirroring anxiety back to them.
The (Theological) Mystery of the Stock Market:

They think, or at least pretend to think, that this doesn’t sound like obvious cope to everyone in the world
It’s an entire White House comms shop built on the premise of “my hot girlfriend lives in Canada” being believed by normal people

Albanese’s utter delight in this war is nauseating. It’s like he’s hoping he might get a membership at Mar-a-Lago
Epstein files keep exploding:
• Pam Bondi subpoenaed by Congress (even 5 GOP joined!)
• Howard Lutnick sweating bullets—agreed to testify under oath about 2012 island trip & 2015 fundraiser invites
• DOJ can’t hide the truth anymore

Ghalibaf says Iran's fate will not be decided by 'Epstein's gang' as Trump pushes for role in choosing supreme leader.
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
3 Australians involved.
“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."
A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.
Impeachment, conviction, and removal only work when Congress has a spine.
