It looks like the US used Claude AI to strike the girls' school in southern Iran, killing 168 It’s been a couple of days since comedian Omid Djalili launched a bizarre attack on Zack Polanski, accusing the Green leader of spreading β€œmisinformation” on Twitter.

It's clear that the primary motivation of US warmongers & their benevolent AI targeting systems is the liberation of Iranian girls from theocracy. If a few dozens or 100s of these girls get blown to pieces along the way, that’s just the price of freedom.

The Sweaterlitchers: An Absurd Romp For decades, some buddies have maintained a silly listserv, called β€œsweaterlitching,” dating back to the early days of email.

I heartily recommend a daily dose of some madcap arbsurdism from my dear brother Walker Hicks. He is somehow able to maintain his droll, deadpan sense of humor even when elaborating on the ridiculous Sweaterlitchings his wordplay game produces! Link here:

Chimpanzees astonished the world by learning sign language. Now only two are left. In the 1960s and '70s, a group of chimpanzees astonished the world by learning sign language. Only two remain, and one question still lingers: Was it worth it?

Rubio declared a return to brutal western colonialism - and Europe applauded In Munich, the US announced its intent to crush all opposition to its permanent status as imperial top dog, even if that means destroying everything, and all of us, in the process

Every Nation Should Reject Trump’s Dangerous β€˜Board Of Peace’ - PopularResistance.Org The so-called β€œBoard of Peace” being created by President Donald TrumpΒ is profoundly degrading to the pursuit of peace and to any nation that would lend it legitimacy. This is a trojan horse to dismantle theΒ United Nations. It should be refused outright by every nation invited to join. In itsΒ Charter, the Board of Peace (BoP) claims to be an β€œinternational organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.” If this sounds familiar, it should, because this is the mandate of the United Nations.
