Oh boy. We are threatening countervalue compellence attacks. This would be an attack Iran's Karun-3 Dam or Shaheed Salimi Neka natural gas (thanks wikipedia)? This is Bad. In so so so many ways. Nuclear weapons use probability remains low & it is a "need to take seriously as risk" here. 1/

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

That show “Tehran” just had its season finale on Friday, right as we began our bombing— and they plotted it as if Iran was just barely-stopped from having a nuke. Guess they're set for going right into Season 4,with the whole show locked into current events.

So bummed about the passing of Neil Sedaka. He remained so vibrant in recent years with his online concerts. I wrote about how and why he co-wrote "Love Will Keep Us Together" (popularized by Captain & Tennille) in my love songs book.

I love Green Day so much and I’m so very happy they performed‘American Idiot’ because, well…you know… 😁

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Elon outing Trump for being in the Epstein files is like the pot calling the kettle a pedophile.

Elon Musk publicly slandering that cave diver as a "pedo guy" after he begged Jeffrey Epstein for island party invites is just incredible

Well well well...

Hutchins, Texas? Are you guys paying attention?

Thursday! What a concept!

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Musk announces the end of the Model S and Model X programs, which were down nearly 50% last year. We expect to wind down production of S and X next quarter, he says. Like every other bizarre Tesla decision, this is justified by Tesla's broader pivot away from cars and toward AI and robotics.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Police Repeatedly Shoot Tim Cook After Mistaking iPhone For Gun https://theonion.com/police-repeatedly-shoot-tim-cook-after-mistaking-iphone-1824184361/

Incredible headline.

Also came across this (a snippet of a larger picture)

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They have not earned the benefit of the doubt.

To have this extremely unusual order in hand day-of is astonishing.

Minnesotans are showing the soul of the United States to the world.

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

We were going to watch that Nuremberg movie this weekend, but didn't. Maybe it seems like a past fantasy that never meant anything, those trials. Today it feels like law, justice, and fairness is all but fantasy at this point. Like the movie's historic tale. Was equal justice under law ever real?

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

This is ok tho

Americans don't put up with state-sponsored / extra-judicial summary-executions. Americans fought and slaughtered soldiers of the Crown in the 1770s for less. Just sayin...

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.
