this photos represents a new geopolitical era the failure it represents for American interests cannot be underestimated

Iran is big, really big. You may think it's a long walk down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to Iran

I think Mark's post was a bad summary and this reply to him is a better one bsky.app/profile/jack...

"You can imagine us becoming a genuine pariah, a genuine international pariah with no friends but North Korea and Russia. That’s kind of where we’re heading." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/talking-wi...

this seems.... unlikely

That's right

I'd start with this: Warhammer 40,000 The Ultimate Guide book share.google/m3QtKq7lMtzE...

i want to read up on Warhammer before Cavill does his TV or movie or whatever because the man is a true geek at heart any advice @shimminykricket.bsky.social is there any novel i should start with

Trump has handed Persian Gulf hegemony to Iran, boosted the alternative global economy on yuan, given Russia a financial boon that will result in loss of land for Ukraine, weakened Chinese deterrence towards Taiwan, and set off a nuclear arms race for the Muslim world

Kansas City! I will be at Planet Comic Con all 3 days this week--happy to sign whatever you've brought with you, AND I'll have some goodies to give away. Not sure what booth I'll be at yet, but as soon as I know, I will post that info...

once again I am compelled to mention that Bush v. Gore likely went down the way it did because Sandra Day O'Connor cooked her brain on talk radio scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...

So long and thanks for all the fish

It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.

Just like the Covid crisis switched the entire world to Zoom and work from home, a lasting Iran oil crisis should switch the entire world to electrification. Impeach and remove Donald Trump and use the Defense Production Act to make affordable electric cars and charging systems everywhere.

REDISTRICTING: California is doing it democratically— a temporary measure to level the playing field— meanwhile Texas did it without people’s approval #VoteYesOnProp50

Breathtaking incompetence www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far "Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

the young white man has been forgiven. we, however, who had nothing to do with it, are still on the hook, and have no idea what we've unleashed

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

"What does it mean to “fund Antifa,” given that “Antifa” is not an actual organization? As ever, it’s whatever Donald Trump’s Justice Department wants it to mean—which feels like the whole point." www.thebulwark.com/p/yeah-its-f...

Every ranking member of a House or Senate committee should be doing exactly this.

Regarding #Kimmel - it stings, bit xkcd 1357 applies. Not the mainstream lib take right now, I know, but this is how I see it.

A story no one is talking about - last week's high school shooting in Denver. 16-year-old white boy radicalized online and promoting white supremacist and anti-Semitic conspiracies, inspired by - and a fan of - terrorists who promoted replacement theory. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

One insurance denial for Teressa's husband stated, “your newborn does not meet the criteria for coverage.” “This is when I really start to think they’re just denying,” she recalled. “They’re not even looking. They’re just ‘deny, deny, deny.’” ➡️ Full story: www.propublica.org/article/ment...

Here are some of the misdeeds of the “featured professors” currently on the Professor Watchlist site, the project of TPUSA. I didn’t have to go past names beginning with A to find them. See if you can find the threat to “free speech” they represent.

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

"Kamala Harris wants to see the elimination of the United States of America." - Charlie Kirk

“I think it's worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal." - Charlie Kirk

"Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Portland, San Francisco. We got a big military. We should be willing to use it." - Charlie Kirk

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

Charlie Kirk's murder has plunged us into a democratic crisis www.vox.com/politics/461...

O ye who believe! be steadfast in the cause of God, bearing witness in equity; and let not a people’s enmity incite you to act otherwise than with justice. Be always just, that is nearer to righteousness. And fear God. Surely, God is aware of what you do. — Chapter 5, Verse 9

Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

there was never going to be a world in which the right didn’t claim the left was celebrating the death of charlie kirk, no matter how respectable anyone tried to be.

My feed is almost entirely people condemning violence and telling others not to celebrate this.
