"Are the mass media on the side of power in the manipulation of the masses, or are they on the side of the masses in the liquidation of meaning, in the violence perpetrated on meaning, and in fascination?" - Simulacra and Simulation

The least shocking thing ever is learning DOGE used chatGPT to identify which grants were “DEI.” It is critical to understand that LLMs are an authoritarian technology meant to win the millennia-long war on critical thinking and art. They are a right wing wet dream.

It’s so funny that FIFA gave Trump a Peace Prize and a few months later he threatened to kill a national team that qualified for the World Cup.

Maybe it's just me, but I think more people should be talking about the fact that Jared Kushner helped convince Trump to start a war with Iran. Meanwhile, Kushner's top client, Saudi Arabia, which pays Kushner $25 million+ annually, was also lobbying Trump to start a war.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

With the important caveat that I’m as guilty as anybody as somebody saying this rather than doing it, the complete lack of antiwar protests in the United States is incredibly depressing. There really is no anti war movement in this country. If anything it has become weaker since Iraq.

In the last 24 hours, Iran has: - Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship - Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman - Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze. - Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrain’s main airport

Iranian boats laden with explosives reportedly struck a Greek‑owned tanker and a U.S.-owned tanker off the coast of Iraq, with reports indicating that one crew member was killed in the attack.

“Bale’s amazing “Frank” makeup, with his forehead staples and broken nose, recalls more than anything a goofy ’70s Hanna-Barbera-esque iteration of the Frankenstein monster, but when you, y’know, watch the movie, it works!” Look at his little bow tie manage.kmail-lists.com/subscription...

NEW: An events company whose associates helped plan the Jan. 6th insurrection have raked in millions in contracts with the U.S. government since Trump's election. The firm had previously netted only $50,000 in government contracts over the past decade.

cnn is so wild because on the one hand they have the best western on the ground coverage in iran, and then on the commentary side they will just have an israeli agent come on and demand we bomb iran harder for 20 mins

Remember when Trump announced tariffs right when Nintendo was announcing the Switch 2, and the delayed preorders were one of the first big tangible consumer-facing effects of letting a known dipshit make up random rules about international trade? Well, if you fuck around with Nintendo...

Funny how these clips are all ripped from YouTube or shot on a phone from the TV. Very illegal. The talent should sue.

Holy shit lol

Very happy to see Iran actively degrading the capacity of the UAE to continue to so blatantly coordinate w/ the Trump Administration to create an ethereal tax evasion system based on merging Cryptocurrency w/ Banking The UAE has 49% stake in World Liberty Financial; Trump's personal Crypto Company

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
