Everyone is wondering what the correct level of contrition is and this seems about right

This is the perfect framing imo. Yes, Netanyahu wanted this but Donald is, as GWB once put it, the Decider.

I don't have a cricket in this fight, but iirc Turkey is one of our closest allies, too. They're also currently being attacked by their neighbor Iran because of stuff we did.

Years ago I discovered I had an Irish ancestor named Henry Rollins. This year I discovered that the other Henry Rollins's name isn't Henry Rollins. It's Henry Lawrence Garfield.

Crucial point: Trump's Iran fiasco is very likely exacerbated by advisers who feed him highly simplified versions of the intelligence, says @mollymckew.bsky.social. "They give him bullet points written in crayon." On the pod Molly breaks down the failures here: newrepublic.com/article/2078...

Liquid Planet sounds like the name of a prog rock band that one friend would force you to listen to.

"Criticism of AI is ableist." is the one of the stupist things I've ever heard. No, you don't have to hand it to the billionaire Nazis who invented it and are trying to use it to enslave the world.

The latest Mitch "the scab" Albom column (on the attempted terrorist attack at Temple Israel this week) is exactly the sort of thing one expects from him. -Very obvious points presented as if they are deep insights...

"You get a solar panel on your roof and change your car, and that’s going to solve climate change?... Those are societal shifts, not individual ones like recycling or buying the right car. It should be about corporations ending their fossil fuel dependency."

After the Falwells of the world allied themselves with the Catholic right over abortion, many thought this sort of beardy white militant Calvinist chud was a figure of the past, but the Trump administration continues to roll everything back.

the state of israel, like apartheid south africa, like the jim crow south, like nazi germany, has determined that crimes against a certain type of person, no matter how heinous, aren't crimes because the victims are not people. there is no "but them first" defense of israel that can stand up to it

As I said when this image was originally posted by Terrible Maps, it makes a lot more sense to simply roll the barrels across. No trucks needed.

Global antiquity! 🌎 “Ancient inscriptions written in Indian languages [= Old Tamil] have been discovered on Egyptian tombs in the Valley of the Kings.” The graffiti discussed here is so cool and indicate Indian travellers to Roman Egypt in the 1st-3rd centuries CE www.livescience.com/archaeology/...

As a long-time consumer of UK- made pop culture, sometimes I feel like I know Britain very well. Then a story like this comes out and I realize I don't know very much at all.

The argument that Israel didn't need to convince Trump to attack Iran because NatSec ghouls already hate Iran has a logic to it, but it's moving the goalposts. The question is not why Iran but why Iran NOW. There's no reason to doubt what the pres said about the Israeli government pushing it.

Rewatching Dolemite, and there's something about this movie that's so entertaining and fun, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. This caliber of acting, editing, and dialogue should not make for a good movie but somehow it all works.

AD&D, 2nd ed for me.

Holy shit, Ben Shapiro is Grouchomaxxing.

Because of our 237 y/o constitution, none of this matters unless he is impeached and removed. In fact, not having to worry about being re-elected frees his hand to do whatever he wants with zero consequences.

Yes, that's what the world needs at this moment, more rudeness.

The Trump DOJ gave Ticketmaster a sweetheart deal that keeps their monopoly intact & does nothing to stop their ridiculously high prices & fees.

The deal was so good, their stock price jumped 6.2% after the news broke. 
Once again: Trump's putting corporations over consumers.
