love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I sometimes wonder if we just named "soft power" something like "tall turgid thrusting power" would these guys have been more in favour of it and thereby less self undermining.

nemesis is so funny conceptually. the ultimate bio-weapon. an undefeatable hunter. millions of dollars of research from the most evil corporation on earth. its target? a specific division of a single local midwestern police department

Guys I hate to say this but the war that doesn’t make sense that happened for no reason isn’t going perfectly

I don't think people understand what is happening if they believe "Oil stays >$100 for a few more days" will

a.) Move Trump off a war footing quickly.

b.) Be able to retreat below $100 at any point in the near future.

This isn't Venezuela.

We can't just call a Mulligan on this.

We're stuck.

whenever there's discourse about EN vs JP opinions about piracy i dont want to hear any opinions from JP manga fans or whatever. not relevant. no parity. less than useless. i want to hear opinions from ryoku kui

But you cannot draw the masses into politics without drawing in the women as well. For under capitalism the female half of the human race is doubly oppressed.

This CNN reporter is objectively more safe in the center of Tehran during a literal bombing campaign than any International Reporter was covering protests in the USA over the past decade.

That's nuts.

The emerging “Claude killed the kids” frame on this story shows just how easily anti-AI counterhype can end up doing the government’s work for it. If you use a computer to choose targets—esp. but not only if you give it bad data to work with—and it chooses poorly, that‘s on you, not the computer!

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: You may have heard that Spain is alone. They're the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.

on one hand, it's pretty bad that the economy is crashing. on the other, at least historians finally have an answer about who is the worst president

Quite literally “we have always been at war with Iran.”

OpenAI and…the United States Military…are teaming up to notify YOU that your son has been KILLED IN ACTION. Click here to speak with your son via AI one last time

I see the right wing of sci-fi/fantasy/funny books has been gloating over Gretchen Felker-Martin being fired by DC.

So, let's look at how their circle has reacted to politicised murder in the past, shall we?

it’s only an echo chamber when it’s the left. when it’s the right they call it some bullshit like the Agora or the Town Square

One of the funniest things about the conservative idea of American war is that previously we fought too clean and moral, unwilling to fight hard enough. It’s an enduring myth.

But we drenched Vietnam in napalm and agent orange.

We used white phosphorus and torture in Iraq and Afghanistan.

the US has already lost in iran, their only hope was iran collapsing in a day or two, and it didn't, so now their only options are to declare victory & slink away or try to put boots on the ground & lose way harder

One thing you’re soon to see from the most insufferable people alive is how “you don’t see protests about genocide NOW 🤨🤨🤨!!” and you should ignore this as it is nonsensical and the reason protest gusto has diminished is due to fear of being murdered by the secret police

Tapping the sign

Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal • 6h X The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast

Former Indian FM: “US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute”

world war 3. russia and china vs nato and israel. initial nato victories collapse putin's regime. america alienates allies. "they're not paying enough!" broken alliances. economic depression. america splinters into civil war and china wins

It seems ridiculous to say this when they’re inflicting real harm to actual human beings but this guy is such a fuckin dork lol
