To dismiss Scrooge because he "owns a counting house" misses the fact that he is in the office every day working it.

Trump hints US will turn to Cuba after Iran: β€˜Just a question of time’

People say Trump has no legacy game, but if he does recover Cuba he’ll probably become the most revered figure in organized crime history.

People are suggesting these guys could be harmed in the war, but if I were them I’d be more concerned about local sex traffickers protecting their territory.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

When Rahm was mayor and facing an election threat from Chuy Garcia, I was in a coffee shop in a progressive black neighborhood when two black CPD officers walked in and whispered to a pastor that orders came down to tow cars near the local polling place on election day. I got so many stories bro.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters

Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression β€” Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either

When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars β€” they hide behind women’s rights to justify them

Remember when Ro Khanna spent a night weirdly replying to our barely even mild criticism of him last year anyhow I thought that was extremely embarrassing of him, as embarrassing as it gets, but now the New York Times is reply guying & it is so so so much more embarrassing of them than it was for Ro

Trump's War If Trump campaigned as a President of peace, he has governed as the opposite

It was funny to see, I don't even remember which US newspaper it was anymore, but an obit of Ali Khamenei said something to the effect of "he lived a paranoid life in which he believed the US and Israel were out to kill him, which eventually happened"

It’s cool that we have no idea whether β€œmoved to being Special Envoy to the Shield of the Americas” means β€œreassigned to a nice farm upstate” or β€œrunning our war effort against Latin America.”

Normally you wait till after you’ve won the war for which you need the partner’s air bases to turn on the partner, but clearly someone’s playing 5-dimensional chess.
