Trump started a war with Iran and assassinated their leaders. The US government had been bombing the country for months and killing civilians. There’s no moral high ground here despite Trump’s preemptive effort to cast himself as a victim.

Wyoming officials say Meta’s 715,000-square-foot data center is responsible for contaminating its water system with a rare bacterium

אין ספק שזיני הוא בדיוק הכהניסט הרקוב שציפו ממנו להיות, אבל חשוב לחזור ולהדגיש, ערוץ 12 הביאו את זה על עצמם. בלעדיהם התופעה שנקראת ביבי נתניהו לא הייתה קורית. הם השקו את הבאובב הזה עד שהוא השמיד את הכוכב

Older fella in the pharmacy was not a fan of my Knicks* shirt, muttered “rub it in our faces!” while walking past me. *giving him the benefit of the doubt that this was indeed the source of his anger

Correctemundo.

Yes. But you don’t even need it: the math is trivial. If billionaire wealth grows faster than the economy, their share converges to 100%. Picture Elon Musk growing 10% each year while the house grows 2%. Eventually he fills the whole space and everyone else is squeezed out into nothing. #WealthTax

The USA’s exit from the World Cup is not, and cannot be, the end of this sorry story. The Balogun case exposes a malignant and growing tumour in world football. We have long known that Fifa is corrupt, writes Mark Brown ✍️

insecure cosmopolitanism is one of the defining pathologies of our political elite, we are in a ten fucking year crash out from a specific set of urban cosmopolitans very insecure about the fact that they are urban cosmopolitans and I'm so sick of it.

זוהי שטות לתלות את יהבנו בועדת חקירה ממלכתית. היא לא תציל אותנו. עד שיצאו מסקנות הן לא יהיו רלוונטיות. במקום, צריך צרור של ועדות חקירה נינג'ה, כל אחת ממוקדת בשאלה אחת. ושתוציא מסקנות מעשיות, כלומר איך גורמים לכך שזה לא יחזור על עצמו.

It's a famous stereotype that children in the developed world, if they are picky eaters, get told, "Finish your dinner; there are children starving in Africa." Do Elon Musk's children get told, "Finish your dinner; your father is starving children in Africa"?

"באזור שבשליטת ישראל". קוראים לזה שטח כבוש. הארץ תתעוררו על החיים שלכם

השמאלנית, קוראי הארץ, שהמפגינים לא אלימים, כי בטלוויזיה הם ראו דברים אחרים. אין דמוקרטיה בלי תקשורת אמיצה. ואין תקשורת אמיצה בלי גב של הציבור.

Stoller used to work for Alan Grayson and then, later, Russell Brand. It’s difficult to avoid the impression that he just likes abusers as long as they don’t get caught.

I give this mf three weeks tops before he starts doing the right-wing talk show circuit and we see the kinds of 5D pretzel twists by his fans that have heretofore been purely hypothetical thought experiments by the world's most demented scientists

Shouldn't be a surprise that Platner promised to pull out, but doesn't

Virginia imposes a lifetime ban on voting for people convicted of any felony. That runs counter to the 1870 law that readmitted Virginia after the Civil War.

A smidge of the Grobbelaar wobbly legs bamboozles Mbappé!

More young girls sue X over Grok CSAM; X accused of shielding child predators.

Nasrin Shojaei was arrested at the age of 13. At 19, she was executed during the 1988 Massacre after being raped by several Revolutionary Guards and a cleric. The noose was deliberately placed around the side of her neck so that she would die more slowly. Doesn't this image make the world tremble?

How a man votes has no bearing on how he’s been conditioned by the patriarchy to view women. None.

אחת התופעות שהיו נפוצות בוויאטנם היתה "יחידות רפאים" - יחידות צבאיות אמריקאיות/וויאטנמיות לכאורה בהן כל ה"חיילים" היו מספרי זהות מזויפים שהוקמו ע"מ לגנוב את משכורות החיילים ע"י מפקדי היחידות ושותפיהם. כל קשר לתשלום ימי מילואים מפוקפקים (ממוקדי מגזר בצורה מפתיעה) בשנתיים האחרונות בישראל מקרי בהחלט.

"Here on Canal Street is where my dad Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot and bled out before passing away,” said a statement from his family. "He lay here in pain and in fear for his life and with the fear of leaving his family behind. He did not deserve to die.”

the weirdest thing about American sports culture is this absolutely batshit belief that fans and media seem to have that a famous player missing both arms and a leg is more useful to a sports team on the field than a not famous player who is match fit, it's just faith healing applied to sports

This dude supplicates so well you could mistake him for an elected Republican in America.

When Biden did literally this exact thing the media organized Biden Is Unfit parades in every major city until he dropped out

bonkers scenes -- Trump is now taking questions from reporters on Putin's behalf and speaking for him

Of course this whole Iran situation is Trump's fault. The war, the bad deal. It's also true that this week's flareup was caused by Iran attacking a bunch of ships in the Strait of Hormuz again, for no particular reason other than to show they could.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was expected in Israel today, has cancelled his visit, per Israeli sources.

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

He’s barking up the wrong tree. youtu.be/3PjgXAm3FTQ?...

Erdogan clutches a wandering Trump's arm to guide him around

If for whatever reason you used to be a real piece of shit, and now you look back on that period of your life with regrets, that is good and laudable, and also, there might be some jobs that you shouldn't have. I do not find this to be especially complicated.

More ships attacked. Folks have to understand that Iran really has no incentive to negotiate in good faith - they know Trump wants this war to end, and they have all the leverage. They’re going to take what money they can get and drag out the political pain for Trump as long as possible.

Detainees at a California ICE facility say they are overcharged for commonly used items, including soda, coffee and feminine hygiene products. See a comparison of their costs to the nearest Walmart: https://wapo.st/4y3h4cN

Close enough. A deserved humiliation.

United States losing by 3 goals to a team wearing trans pride jerseys in Seattle 🙏

TRUMP: the game was stolen SCOTUS: by 6-3 vote, we uphold the President’s Executive Order confiscating the World Cup trophy HAKEEM JEFFRIES: hell yeah

Hope this administration is proud of itself. It killed someone who fought alongside us in Afghanistan —probably at great peril to himself and his family. No words suffice.

USA can still advance if Mike Pence has the courage

tbh I think coverage of the WC goes on unabated, not least because you do not sell both kidneys and a child to afford the exclusive broadcast rights only to call it with 3 rounds to go
