Tweet von Klara: So Greece is sending ships to defend Cyprus from the Persians. What year is this again?

Warmed over Christianity is *never* the answer (and that's what singularitarianism boils down to, when you examine its structure and origins as a belief system).

I was listening to this only yesterday, on my Monster Bowie Playlist.

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. It's the thinking of someone who is incapable of taking responsibility for their own behaviour.

Yes.

Time for some regime change. And what's that delightful word? "Decapitation." Yes, that's the one.

Epstein was named in drugs and prostitution probe by DOJ unit that Trump shut down Jeffrey Epstein was the target of a sprawling federal investigation into alleged money laundering, drug smuggling and sex trafficking operation by a specialized unit shut down last year by the Trump a...

"Operation Chain Reaction was officially closed on June 16, 2023, and OCDETF was defunded and shut down in May 2025 as part of the Trump administration's sweeping government cuts in the early days of his second administration."

Not sure that's what I was doing..

The uselessness of conspiracy theories is proved by the War on Iran. Netanyahu knows what he's doing. In the USA it's not -

"x proves this was the plan all along"

"it's because of country y"

"it distracts from z"

There is NO plan, no end state, no goal matching means and ends, no real intent.

Exactly.

I think pretty much all of it isn't rational.

"Considering [they] decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped eight wars plus, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace."

Is this in part the reason that the petulant, demented tyrant that rules the US is has decided to unleash catastrophe on the middle east?

Pedro Sánchez’s lone stance against Trump may look risky, but it is cannily pragmatic | Eoghan Gilmartin The Spanish PM’s defiant foreign policy line may seem outspoken. The truth is that he is a sound strategist at home and abroad, says journalist Eoghan Gilmartin

"Sánchez’s administration... suggests that, as with the EU’s stance on Gaza and relations with China, the consensus in Europe will shift in the direction Spain has charted, as the dire consequences of the war become evident."

And have his clothes critiqued.

Blaming God for your family dysfunction. Just get out, you dolt.

Should we outlaw SUVs? Over the last decade, global SUV ownership has doubled. In that time, the vehicles contributed more to the increase in global CO2 emissions than airlines, trucks, or heavy industry.

Over the decade ending in 2019, global SUV ownership doubled. “If it keeps growing at its current rate, increased SUV ownership will offset the entire emissions reduction from electric vehicles.” Plus they’re much more likely than smaller cars to kill pedestrians. www.fastcompany.com/90420280/sho...

There is a big difference between Iran targeting other countries and Iran targeting US bases *within* those countries... a difference that Hegseth doesn't want people think about.

🧵 This has to be the funniest Brexit moment yet.

The Brexit-loving brigade spluttering into their cornflakes as they discover The Telegraph has been sold to a German media company.

The irony is spectacular.

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.

Saharan dust - Wikipedia

Yes, pretty dramatic, and fascinating. The Sahara is larger than Australia, so there can be a *lot* of dust.

Last year we drove to down to Nice and encountered a dust storm. Everything was turned orange, including the Mediterranean. It was uncanny!

The words of a real leader. A leader of courage and conviction. A leader who puts peace before craven compliance and subjugation of his nation to an illegal war and an autocratic warmongering US President.
Well done Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez!

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.

“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

Yes, I've been disturbed by the US-focus of so many commentators here. It's all about how many American soldiers are dying, how much it's costing US taxpayers, how it's affecting US oil prices.

And the rest of the world is watching America careening out of control, smashing everything in its path.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

Seems fair.

tl;dr kill the supplemental, support impeachment, reject every threat and gambit he deploys as he attempts to rehabilitate his failed presidency. www.offmessage.net/p/no-quarter
