Instead of condemning Israel and the US to summon WWIII and damage the world economy, western leaders do this: “We call for the immediate and unconditional cessation of all attacks by the Iranian regime […].” How is this just? Whom is this fooling? www.straitstimes.com/world/europe... #iran

Over at SitePoint, I’m challenging the idea of “wrong CSS.” That isn’t to say that some style sheets weren’t messy, inconsistent, bloated, over-engineered, slow—just that it’s hard to say they’re “wrong.” Is that a fair point—or do you believe there’s something like CSS that is just… wrong? #css

What If They Had Spent It on Peace?: Not only should we fight against civilian infrastructure intentionally being destroyed and entire civilian populations being displaced and killed—we must question the whole bias for violence.

Any price increases that our countries experience because of Israel’s and America’s war against Iran should be recompensed by them. No solidarity with this bloodthirsty, lie-based imperialism. #israel #usa #iran #responsibility

Israel and the USA Really Declared War on Everyone: No one is safe when countries act with brutality and impunity.

Germany and the US are looking at Gaza, and how 75,000+ people were killed, 170,000+ people were wounded, leaving 1.9 million Palestinians without home and then they say, no, not a genocide. When people are so cold— braveneweurope.com/jessica-corb... #usa #germany #israel #palestine #genocide

“Palestinians continue to endure grave suffering with so many restrictions imposed on humanitarian aid in #Gaza, amid a worrying expansion of settlement activities in the occupied #WestBank.” — UN Secretary-General António Guterres on X, 12 March 2026

Israel flattens and commits genocide in Palestine, attacks Iran, and casually displaces 816,000 people in Lebanon. 816,000. None of this was justified. We urgently need more people who have both heart and spine. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/... #israel #palestine #iran #lebanon

“We live in a society where those who obtain power wish to exercise it in the cruellest possible ways against the most defenceless. It appears to be a feature of late Western capitalist society […].” braveneweurope.com/craig-murray... #usa #israel #iran #society

How many wars do we allow Israel and the US to start? How many people do we allow them to displace and kill—murder—until we intervene? What atrocity, what war crime is going to be the final nail in the coffin? #israel #usa

“Apartheid was finally defeated by an international people’s boycott that isolated the regime from international markets, cultural and artistic events. This, now is the only way to help the Palestinian people […].” —Shabaz Fazal: “Israel–Palestine” (2013). #israel #palestine #usa #southafrica

On one end, the Anthropic team is a massive user of AI to write code (80%+ of all code deployed is written by Claude Code). They ship amazingly fast. On the other hand, seeing these beyond terrible reliability numbers suggests there might be a downside to all this speed:

So the headlines in the UK is 8 people have being killed in Israel. Ignoring over 140 school children killed yesterday by Israels bombing. I could not be more disgusted than I am by Western media.

War on Iran: “We are facing not only a period of unapologetic imperialism to which virtually all Western countries are prepared to defer, but a return of medievalism, both in the sheer barbarity and scale of physical abuse.” braveneweurope.com/craig-murray... #israel #usa #iran #barbarism

Israel and the USA Really Declared War on Everyone: No one is safe when countries act with brutality and impunity.

It's official. Europe's leaders have crossed the thin red line into criminal insanity. "France, Germany and the UK condemn Iranian attacks" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Board of Peace launches first war 🫠

No war. No war. No war. No illegal fucking war. No war, period. We have got to stop. I sure could go for impeaching and convicting the president right about now.

Yet Another War: Our handling of violence is broken: We need to become much more just and empathetic in deciding what violence we tolerate and what violence we fight and hold others accountable for.

The US and Israel have, in fact, begun an illegal war with Iran. The US lured Iran into talks and seemingly reached an agreement that Iran would end its uranium enrichment. As of 8:00 AM, Israel and the US launched a surprise attack on Iran with the intent of assassinating its leadership
