Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead.

Truly incredible diplomatic timing from Donald Trump to post what amounts to all but an open "fuck you" to the UK at almost exactly the same time as Keir Starmer confirms a US State Visit from the King is going to happen.

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive
Jack Karlson’s rallying cry of ‘democracy manifest’ added to national collection of sound recordings that hold historical, cultural and aesthetic significance * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Thirty-five years ago, when Jack Karlson was hauled into a police car outside a Chinese restaurant in Queensland, he couldn’t have known his bombastic speech would be watched by millions around the world, become a meme and now, be preserved for ever in Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive. Karlson’s declaration – “Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest! … What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?” – is one of nine pieces of audio that have been added to the NFSA’s Sounds of Australia collection this year, along with a pedestrian crossing signal and Missy Higgins’ 2004 hit Scar.

i’ve been asked a few times recently about why it’s so important to me as a journalist to describe things plainly—like referring to the planned ICE warehouses as concentration camps. seeing the term used in a letter to the secretary of defense is proof that journalists’ word choices have impact.

If you struggle sometimes with self-doubt, I unironically recommend following and reading people like Ezra Klein and Matty Yglesias. They’re wrong on almost every consequential issue nearly 100% of the time. It’s like an anti-compass that gets you back pointing due North.
