New Iran war thread for March 4. You can read yesterday's completed thread here.

They're calling her the goat, the greatest to ever do it, the genius of the 21st century, the most vindicated bitch who ever lived, her haters in shambles her doubters in tears she's loosed the faithful lightning of her terrible swift sword, HER TRUTH IS MARCHING ON MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

We really do need to hammer home reducing police budgets and using them to bolster teacher salaries immediately. The fact we have these massive goon squads playing candy crush all day at their jobs meanwhile teachers are having to get second incomes is frankly embarrassing as a rich country.

they really might have ridden the anti-woke train all the way to bankruptcy court, an all time brand fuckup that should be taught as a cautionary tale in business school for decades

If living a middle class life is driving you deep into debt, this is because you are not middle class. This has been a real cognitive come to Jesus for me. Obvs I KNEW we were struggling, but the numbers looked like they SHOULD work. But never did.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Dunkin Donuts: Sorry, we’re out of chocolate glazed. Me: [about to lose it] No Mark, save this feeling. Use it for your art.

former #Canucks captain is now a bad memory. zero respect. good people don’t get chummy with child-sex trafficking rapists. that goes for the rest of the U.S. men’s 🏒 team too. Leafs’ Matthews, Sens’ TKachuck and Jets’ Hellebuyck are in for an “elbows up” reception in 🇨🇦 rinks.

they essentially promised him needed accommodations (editing, no mic) for his condition, and not only didn't follow through, but instead did the opposite. BBC stole the dignity of so many people that night and turned what should have been a celebration for everyone into hurt, shame, and pain

We have to be ready to create a newer, better world as this one accelerates toward its own destruction

Too many men have no idea how to operate in a system without hierarchical control. There may be a loneliness epidemic, but the issue is that too many men never learned how to connect. Too often, historically, “connection” meant transactional relationships with those they controlled.

One of my favorite ADHD games: checking the clock when I get in the car. Am I on time? Late? Maybe early (unlikely). Because I inevitably have no idea where I've finished within a 20 minute spread 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bigots think blackness and learning disabilities are the same ****ing thing. Because they think that people with either are just inherently less intelligent. Which is infuriating.

I don't think the British should get away with "uh he's no longer Prince Andrew actually" stuff. Listen, you decided to make one weird rich family central to your politics and culture, you have to own that. You don't get to pretend he wasn't part of it when he does weird rich family crimes

On another aspect of logistics, Home Depot has invested heavy into AI. Days ahead of both of the last snowstorms, my local Home Depot was sold out of snow shovels and salt / salt alternatives. This time it was also sold out of snowblowers and firewood.

I love myself far more than I love this place.

They hate sex work friendly spaces because they don't want ppl having mutuality in respecting sexual autonomy. They think there should be a hierarchy where rich means anything is up for grabs.

If blue sky were actually the free speech and sex friendly haven they sold it to be when I joined, you would see a whole lot more rich ppl experiencing extinction burst at the idea that communities exist that want sex workers to be ethically paid and honored for the role.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

There are any number of cool and useful things teachers can and even want to use tech for, and the Venn diagram of that vs. what we got looks pretty much like a figure 8

The conclusions about student cognition aren’t the interesting part for me so much as the money being spent on youth surveillance that isn’t leading to better learning outcomes. Teachers are being laid off, schools & libraries are closing, books are being banned.

it's an imposition imo to ask anyone to watch a video of any length. when i see someone post a video and it's like 27m long i feel like a stranger just asked me to help him move

Outside of Portsmouth, which I love, and elsewhere on the coast, New Hampshire fucking sucks so bad dude.

Look, all I want to do is grill all my favorite fantasy authors on how to pronounce every character name in every book. Is that so much to ask?

Olympic ice skating is on. I remember as a child wanting to be them: the center of attention! I was envious of the devotion, performance, and yes, the adulation. Now I love looking at these young people who work so hard—the artistry!—and just feeling weirdly proud of them? They're so beautiful

Liberals: trans people need to shut up and take one for the team! Trans people: well at least we’re on the team Liberals: you’re not. sorry, but we have to protect the integrity of metaphorical sports

There is a .000001% chance these men did not know. And if they didn't know, it's because they handed over control of their careers and their political decisions to lobbyists who not only do not give a damn about Americans, but prey upon us like vampires.

"Notable names include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Martin Heinrich." HOW INTERESTING.

I'm not touching grass yet. For everyone who is saying that these are mass invitations to Epstein that just happened to slip through the cracks, I need you to stop. These were tight social circles. Industry circles. I bet you know who the creepy douchebags are at your job.

Received $50 bringing the total to $130/$200 goal! Thank you and please continue to share until goal is met! 💸💕

Going on multiple days of no movement on this.

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

in the USA, buying someone else’s child and smearing one’s own dreams and fantasies all over that child’s very identity is not only tolerated, it is many people’s ASPIRATION 🥚

Hey guess what. If you participate in elevating child trafficking systems as altruism, through your language and your actions(or lack thereof), you're complicit in the systems that allow for child abuse and child abduction. Every "but aren't you grateful?" led to this. You did this.

America has never been serious

I'm sure Portland's elected leaders have reasons to be worried. I get death threats for writing about politics in this city, they surely must. But the incident described was: 1. Not in any way violent or dangerous 2. Smith's desire to escalate by openly carrying a gun is horribly irresponsible

this is exactly the wrong way to think about owning and carrying a firearm. i cannot overemphasize how irresponsible Councilor Smith's logic is here. Openly carrying a weapon you know nothing about is just BEGGING to have that weapon taken off your body and used against you.

I guess another way to put it is; if you've ever had a slimmer of thought that "if I was only a little worse off, they'd care/take me seriously/give me the support or accommodations i need" please dispel any spark of that thought. it's as much a fantasy as me thinking the street lights are demons

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Jesse being made out to be a joke was absolutely an effort done in part to establish Clinton-era politics as the “normal” political philosophy for marginalized folks in this country

an aggressive ant colony reduces the Keebler elves to a pile of bones and little outfits, but what sends a wave of deep unease around the world, the true source of fear, is how fast these ants are able to get cookie production ramped back up
