Trump in 2011: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.”

Wagging the dog

"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran. Months ago, we bombed Iran & "obliterated" their nuke capabilities. And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran bc of their nuke capabilities." -the ppl who tore up the nuclear peace deal w/Iran

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

This is because the Pentagon and Trump don’t like Anthropic’s language preventing their tech from being used to surveil Americans or for autonomous weapons. Which means the Pentagon wants to use their tech to surveil Americans and build autonomous weapons apnews.com/article/anth...

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth met with Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and threatened to invoke the Defense Production Act (DPA) if Anthropic doesn't agree to the Pentagon’s terms by Friday.” @alanrozenshtein.com on what the DPA can and can’t do to Anthropic: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/what...

Ever get the feeling that most of the office is having a drink together without you? Just me, eh?

I’m starting to think that maybe moral exhaustion, self-comparison, and career stagnation aren’t my sweet spot

As some friends have brought to my attention, the TCM channel is airing the 1944 movie "GASLIGHT" starring Ingrid Bergman, running alongside the State of the Union drivel. Well played, TCM! I am going to be watching the TCM channel to give them the ratings instead, and I hope you'll do the same! 😁

Our country has been dragged into hateful stupidity by every Republican who supported that hateful spoiled old fool

An NPR investigation found that the DOJ withheld some Epstein files related to abuse allegations against Trump. And, what you need to know ahead of the president's State of the Union address tonight. n.pr/4aT95Eh

I’m content that I’m on a Facebook hiatus, since I expect it’s a shitshow of culture wars today. As a woke egghead from a blue‑collar neighborhood in a die‑hard hockey town, I’m just so disappointed in everything that formed who I am. 😔

We’re still not talking enough about how Elon Musk’s Super PAC committed election fraud in Georgia and how the only consequence that they received was a harsh letter

The USA men’s hockey team performed great on the ice. Congratulations to them. They acted like spoiled boys in the locker room. I hope they regret it.

"So much of what’s happened at CBS – the back-of-the-hand treatment of Colbert and the rightward drift of the news division – are ways of signalling that the Ellisons are more than willing to serve Trump’s interests." —Margaret Sullivan www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Anderson Cooper saw that.

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

She's got my vote 💯

I’m trying to figure out BlueSky as a social space with very very very few friends. Probably doesn’t help that my stream is mostly just my daily “random #photos,” the occasional political repost, and obscure #Buffalo / #Chicago s***. Maybe this is just how I talk to myself.

This is why we can’t keep the republic because the Epstein Class never faces consequences

Since I am quarantining with a mild covid infection (deep gratitude for vaccines!), I turned this morning's thread about your deed/abstract of title into a blog post: buffaloresearch.com/how-to-date-... #Buffalo #architecture 🗃️

I wonder if Chief Fuckin Justice Roberts is proud of the monster he set up to destroy our country

Historically I’ve loved the Winter Olympics. Seeing all these fun sports during a time of year when most people feel stuck inside is inspiring, and the camaraderie is contagious.
