APNewsAlert: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian news agencies publish chart suggesting Revolutionary Guard put sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz during the war.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

- 'America has the military power to do whatever it wants anywhere in the world' - immediately loses war to Iran.

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America. Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

Ghalibaf speaks.

In Bariworld world, Kanye releasing a single literally called "Heil Hitler" is less antisemitic than Ms. Rachel.

I did not see "stupider Tripartite Papacy" coming, that's on me www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

Six minutes apart!

I know Carney is conservative. But accepting this floor crossing shows an absolutely astonishing deficit in values and judgement

Best pope

This would have been a good moment to ask Vance about Orban's anti-race mixing comments.

Massacre upon massacre in Beirut in the last hour. AUBMC announced a “code disaster.” Over 100 airstrikes in 10 minutes across the country. One hit right behind my house. Sirens ambulances & the smell of sulphur. The city is in total chaos the people in complete panic

No one outside the cult is buying this; he can’t go out and say he and trump got their asses kicked by a bunch of Iranians so we have this but many of them are dramatically underestimating how little this scans for a normal person

No. NO!!!!

Professional journalists, similarly, starting looking over their rightward shoulders in the 1970s and 1980s. How did that work out for us? www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

LFG

The therapy bills for his children are going to be astronomical

I went to Costco this week for the first time in years and am ready to turn over management of the country to them

Mark Carney will regret this, I predict

Having won, Iran now sets its sights on prying apart the US-Israel alliance

What is this, a newspaper for rural children

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Her? Holy cats

The President, White House, and FCC's Brendan Carr are calling for action -- and implying a criminal investigation -- against CNN for... accurately reporting what Iran's state media shared as a statement from Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Alright let's see. In 2019 Trump was angrily posting about the 1.8 billion in cash the Obama administration gave Iran in 2016. 1.8 billion divided by 2 million is 900. Prior to the start of this war, about 135 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz every day.

They beat you and will celebrate with your worst music

Ironically it was reported that the dead guy didn't want him. The attack almost certainly led to deeper extremism as opposed to less.

The idea of Trump looking for an easier win after a humiliating loss is not comforting

Amazing L for everyone but Iran

So Iran would have to agree to a complete reopening of the Straight, and elimination of their biggest source of global leverage, in exchange for a two-week ceasefire with an untrustworthy enemy?

CBS says ceasefire being actively negotiated, with JD Vance taking the lead for the Americans. www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

POTUS apparently has further thoughts on the law of war.

hmm, what if i told you that it wasn’t

The flunkiest flunky who ever flunkied

no offense to the hungarian people but i’m sorry, the idea that hungary is some last bastion of “western civilization” is absurd. can’t overstate how much this post-liberal, national conservative nonsense makes you sound like a putz

It's @professormusgrave.bsky.social o'clock again, alas

How ironic

This is real

It can’t be overstated how just about every right-wing crusade over the past, say, 30 years was totally full of shit

What You Need To Know About How A U.S.-Initiated Global Nuclear War Could Affect Television Broadcasts of The NBA Playoffs

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

This has been running through my head recently as people keep rediscovering fresh outrages: he’s the same guy, just older and less inhibited and surrounded by some of the worst people in the world

Yes, and it could be as simple as that, but also Vance hinted at using weapons they hadn’t used yet in a Hungary speech
