My country is at war and instead of looking to my government for reliable information--because nothing my government is saying is reliable--I'm tracking betting market monitors who are highlighting unusually large bids likely being tipped, if not placed, by government officials.

He’s being paid to send troops into a ground battle by Saudi Arabia.

I went to this bookstore and someone called it an overpriced tourist trap. We are in Columbus, Ohio. You know...the Paris of the Midwest.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

One of the fun things nobody ever thinks about when it comes to touring is the feeling of driving for 3 days straight and then single handedly unloading the van 🤠 all for the love of the game 😤

Help this shit has me in tears

When twitter was perceived as liberal it was a bubble and people should not take it seriously. But now that it's a cesspool of right-wing propaganda it's the Soul of America and the libs ignore it at their peril

This is genuinely a bombshell. All courthouse arrests should cease immediately. There should be a Congressional investigation & civil rights actions for every illegal abduction of immigrants trying to follow the rules and appear in court. (2/2)

According to documents filed this morning by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of NY, ICE has been lying for a year — not only to the public, but to the courts and to prosecutors — about being authorized to make arrests at 26 Federal Plaza and other immigration courts. (1/2)

Honestly, fuck off.

Today's #TenMinMerlin was actually multiple sessions because the park I walked in has varied terrain so the bird population varies. They have mowed the prairie area which limited the action there (in the summer it's filled w Red-winged Blackbirds) but I did see several Eastern Bluebirds

Money is the only thing that insulates these ignorant ghouls from us.

When separating the art from the artist it is easier if you put the artist in a large pot and simmer on low for a couple of days in an acidic stock. The art just falls right off.

less talk about cold plunges and jawlines, more building your wife a table and your kids a playset

Me and the boys getting sent to fight in Iran now that they bumped the age from 34 to 42.

I think there is something to Shane’s autism not being addressed (yet) but not to the degree readers are losing their shit to it in forums. And perhaps that’s where Unrivaled will focus - the synopsis suggests a character development on Shane’s part that has to give him the depth reader’s crave.

I DO NOT CARE WHAT THEY SAY TO EACH OTHER OR TO REPORTERS IN PRIVATE. IT'S UTTERLY FUCKING IRRELEVANT. I CARE VERY DEEPLY ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY AND DO IN PUBLIC AND EVEN MORE SO ABOUT HOW THEY VOTE.

if you want the real deal, I have lots. I also made them in silver. www.etsy.com/listing/1264...

The Pentagon has quietly dictated to spy satellite companies what to say about the Iran war, exercising censorship over what the American public is allowed to know. Military sources tell me that the level of secrecy surrounding the specifics of the Iran war is unprecedented, with barely any

Let him use the toilet, maybe it's still got the magic.

If you serve me a jacket potato with tuna salad I am going to paint the walls with it.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Embassy in South Africa is trolling President Trump’s comments on who will control the Strait of Hormuz.

This is literally the only thing i have the bandwidth to read about today

Excuse me what??

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Jump onto the chair but make it FANCY

Two pilots dead at LaGuardia. A lone controller managing two simultaneous emergencies. The FAA is 3,000 controllers short. We will blame the human. We should fix the system. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Curses throttle thee!

War crime!

Wow, I never knew that.

We are ~3 meals away from societal collapse.

Late February 2020 vibes. I'm not a fan!

The CIA, Big Pharma, Congress, Wall Street, all paper tigers. And everyone that preached duty and personal responsibility never meant any of it. Us suckers believed we lived in a society, and now, we’re powerless to stop the absolutely pointless suffering while those hypocrites get richer.

The old world is not just dying- we were all fundamentally wrong about the world. Even if you never trusted the system, you probably didn’t believe that the CIA would just let themselves be gutted or capital would be willing to destroy the world economy but here we are. And it broke us.

How can this go on for another 3 years?

Sitting around on a Sunday evening after dinner wondering when and where we are going to witness the detonation of nuclear weapons.

I know this has circulated with alacrity recently, so you may have already seen it, but if you haven't... WOW BOY HOWDY it's the most useful thing. Thank you cardcatalogforlife.substack.com -- this is a very very very helpful public service: cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

America doesn't export democracy; it exports destruction.

Surely the widely despised ICE agents will be warmly welcomed by people in the low-stress environment of impending air travel.

CBS gonna boot up an ICE procedural series before 2026 is over
