It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.
This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

My only problem with @fractalecho.bsky.social's book is that now I have to figure out a different book to write. But while i sort that out, i can make everybody go read Rua's book. S go read it 😃
I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
For anyone who would like the clip (including George).
I’m picturing Wadephul dragging Merz away from the podium, one hand clapped over his mouth, whispering “shut up, Friedrich”
What is there more to say beyond rage.
They want to "evacuate" one of the densest suburbs of Beirut and have a quarter of a million+ people just move elsewhere and accept the fate of the destruction of their homes or worse the loss of their life.
Fucking nightmare.
In the midst of the geopolitical horror, I've been doing some processing around the most recent wave of Epstein files. While there's been no single presidency-destroying bombshell (could Trump even be destroyed that way?), there's a pattern of impunity and willful ignorance that's hard to accept.
Thank you both for this. It matters when people aren’t complicit. It gives people dealing with institutional betrayal hope that it can be different somewhere.
half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"
It is better to be in a military prison than to kill kids.
It is better to be a deserter than to kill kids.
It is better to take any legal route to get out of your contract and leave the benefits behind than to kill kids.
Especially recalling all the classes taught by retired diplomats. Diplomacy was a good idea. Maybe it’s a thing that comes back eventually.
Khamenei was given a martyr's death instead of facing justice for the crimes of his regime; instead of standing before his accusers. Hardliners stand vindicated through America and Israel's unprovoked war. We have robbed them for 47 years of their rights to self-determination.

The Retreat from DEI: The Impact of Legal and Political Developments on DEI Language in U.S. Private Foundations Following the murder of George Floyd in 2020, large private foundations in the United States widely adopted language related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) on their public-facing websites. In 2023, a series of legal and political developments began reversing the institutional pressures that had encouraged this adoption: first the Supreme Court’s ruling in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (2023), then state-level anti-DEI legislation, and culminating in President Trump’s Executive Order 14151 (2025). Using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine, we constructed a longitudinal corpus of 3,612 archived web pages from thirteen large U.S. private foundations and tracked the frequency of sixty-seven DEI-related terms from 2019 to 2025. Among the nine foundations with data in both years, a Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicates a decline from 2023 to 2025 (one-sided p = .029, two-sided p = .059), with median usage falling approximately 40 percent. The decline was broad-based across many terms. These patterns are consistent with coercive isomorphism: the same process that drove widespread, convergent adoption of DEI language after 2020 now appears to be reversing it. The findings establish an empirical baseline for tracking how political pressure reshapes organizational communication about equity.
🚨What if some intrepid students and I decided to see if private foundations' public stances on justice were thin enough to fold under anti-DEI pressure? We tracked their website language using Wayback Machine. The retreat is real and it seems political vibes alone supercharged it. osf.io/29gda_v1
The bombing is happening after we learned of progress in the nuclear talks.
The lesson continues to be that you can never trust Americans.
Any state threatened by the Americans will have concluded by now that their only safety is to develop nukes asap, surely?
This man knows his shit inside out 👇🏽

On days like today, I remember what WikiLeaks said ahead of targeting the DNC in the 2016 election and actively enabling Trump's political ascendancy.

A lot of you know nothing about Iran and Iranians’ efforts to free themselves from the Islamic Republic of Iran, and it shows. Celebrating the death of the man who terrorized us is the most obvious thing to do. Please stop telling Iranians how we should react.
The Iranian regime are nightmare murderbastards but guess who's gonna do most of the dying now that the Israeli nightmare murderbastards have arrived to paint a figleaf for the American nightmare murderbastards?
Funnily enough the worst people are never in the largest mass graves
Fuck all of them
I dk how to say this nicely but I don’t give a f- if your mass murdering government gets approval from your congress before burning our region while violating international law
If you’re following the conflict via sm i highly suggest reading this guide on vicarious trauma and ways to minimize it, not explicitly mentioned but v important is not watching stuff in your bedroom and also, if you dont have a professional reason to consume this stuff stop mainlining it
Never forget that shutting down your local arms factory is infinitely more useful to the victims of war than voyeuristically consuming imagery of mutilation.
Impeach, send to The Hague.
DO NOT LET ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS WALK AROUND THINKING THEIR CONSTITUENTS DON’T CARE
After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.
In one four-day period in March 2025, engineers logged 205 maintenance calls. Sailors reported working up to 19-hour days to fix leaks and restore suction, with problems in a single head capable of disabling an entire section of the ship. Since 2023, the Navy has carried out at least 10 acid flushes, each costing about $400,000, though the procedure cannot be performed while the carrier is underway.
The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize
The only response to "trans people in sports/bathrooms??" should be "this does not affect your life in any way at all and is a set of dangling keys intentionally distracting you from the confirmed pedos who are robbing our pockets and poisoning our rivers for their sick addiction to power"
Yes, actually, it is possible to do some basic due diligence on funders and say no to money.
It’s possible with zero institutional support. Ask me how I know!
No excuse for researchers who took Epstein money.
dinosaurs vs. robots gotta give this round to the dinosaurs
