I mean… Israel would use mustard gas on an orphanage in a heartbeat.

It is THE fundamental problem. To survive and prosper we must make billionaires history. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

I ran from my house up to Rhodes Memorial - for the first time in a long time - flipped off his bust as I always do, then continued straight up to the contour path that runs along to plum-pudding hill that my buddy Gareth used to call Weathertop when we were in our 20s. It was tough going 🧵

"In the days​ of disco and Aramis 900, when the relationship between entitlement and sleaze could still seem novel, Prince Andrew came across like the more relatable sort of wanker, high on royal privilege but in touch with the inner life of the standard British male." www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

They’ll thank their troops for their service killing brown people in their thousands but…

Fascists? Could have fooled me, that's verbatim Labour Government policy written on those placards

One of the most important things I made sure I understood with the reactionary Right is what they mean by “critical thinking”. Like, clearly they don’t understand what it is, but think they do. I’ve realised their understanding is so shallow they think all it means is contrarian. To reject the

Counterpoint: it’s not critical. It’s just burning up investment and pushing back against cooperation in participation in the US global economic project. If the data centres were for storing NFTs for US companies, Iran would still have attacked them.

Watching liberals and progressives give even limited praise to things Tucker Carlson says is like watching someone lose chess to a dog.

Since the war on Iran is obviously illegal, when people say that it isn’t they really mean that international law doesn’t matter, and that the US and Israel should be allowed to do whatever they want.

We knew days ago that the US was responsible for strikes in the area. Those girls were killed by weapons made by Americans and launched by Americans. The only question is why.

The right people can feel like medicine for the soul. A conversation, a laugh, or simply sitting together can brighten even the hardest days If someone brings you that sense of calm and comfort, hold onto them - and try to be that light for someone else too 🌞💛

From the outside, Gavin Newsom as presidential candidate guarantees two things: He’ll win because people will again be so exhausted by Trump. He’ll then lose reelection to the next lunatic because he won’t have pulled back more than 10% of what Trump did and betrayed progressives will be livid.

Galaxy-brain US geopolitics.

these 'reviews' are being conducted by transphobes with pre-determined outcomes. labour are murdering these children by denying them life-saving care. @lucympowell.bsky.social and belong in prison. this stuff is an actual scandal that will eventual break in like 10 years time.

Oh my god

If Israel wants to fight terrorism, it can start right at home by shutting down illegal West Bank settlements and prosecuting Israeli terrorist murderers. Having real enemies like Iran, Hamas, and Hezbollah cannot become a justification for descending into barbarism. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

The Iranian Red Crescent has sent a request to the International Criminal Court calling for a criminal investigation based on the US/Israel's systematic attacks against civilians and civilian objects including: 6,668 civilian structures 5,535 homes 14 hospitals 65 schools

The Union St fire is so intense, it's hard to say just what devastation it will bring to the City Centre yet. I hope we will see this eventually under control, & urgent discussions by all levels of Government & owners to assist rebuilding a true cornerstone of Scotland's busiest railway station 💚

Trump’s war on Iran shows why renewable energy is national security. Australia’s still exposed to global oil shocks and inflation because fossil fuels are built into our economy. The sooner we run on our own sun and wind, the safer and freer we’ll be.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/trump-s...

Oh sure it’s not like people who play videogames would be interested in obsessively tracking things like this and then becoming extremely angry about it

“Trump, Look Them in the Eyes” — front page of tomorrow’s Tehran Times with photos of Iranian children killed by US bombing of elementary school

Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian women and girls in its genocidal war on Gaza. On International Women's Day, we look at the number of women and girls Israel killed in Gaza in 2025. #Infograph

New Zealand were totally outclassed unfortunately. Bumrah was picking them off like they were an under 16 C team. #T20WC

Essentially we all know the US killed those girls. The only real question is why.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

🚨 NEW: Multiple explosions rock Sulaymaniyah as strikes hit Kurdish opposition sites A series of strikes and explosions were reported across Sulaymaniyah, Iraq, including a hit on the headquarters of the Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan in Zargwezala, according to local Channel 8 Drop Site...

American brain-rot still not quite at majority status.

I mean beyond all of the loathsome obvious shit about allllll of this, the director of the fucking INSIDE fucking OUT movies saying “We’re making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" is a level of self-unawareness I can only marvel at

Every open source pervert is cackling delightedly. Welcome to an even playing field you corporate leeches.

I wonder how many times we have to relearn this before it can become policy.

Also note that they have opened themselves to the obvious strategy of Iran hitting the desalination plants of its neighbours who are even more water scarce in order to cripple global oil production.

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

Never let them tell you that enshittification was a mystery. Enshittification isn't downstream of the "iron laws of economics" or an unrealistic demand by "consumers" to get stuff for free. 1/

While it may seem disappointing to leftists to see a revolutionary Marxist party defeated, I can say from the experience in South Africa that it’s far better to see a democratic transition. And it’ll give the left parties the push to clean up their bullshit if they want back in.

as far as i can tell the ADL believes that antizionism is antisemitism, which i suppose is defensible as an overcorrection, but also that literally nothing else is antisemitism, including heiling hitler

Starmers worried about the Green Party challenging this governments failures. He's right to be. Join.greenparty.org.uk

And I swear to you the Venn diagram of people who don't want gay characters in kids' shows and people who demand that antiblack cartoons from the past remain uncensored and free of warning labels is a single circle.

The ignorance excuse just gets weaker and weaker after so many harmless groups were abused using the same arguments - all now debunked for anyone but the most foolish. It's not 1935. Or even 1985. You don't get to say, "I see it now. But you have to understand, at the time..." Transphobia is BS.

Over 1000 civilians dead, and we're letting Trump use UK bases to further his war. Britain should stand firm against Trump's illegal warmongering, and stop these bombers landing on UK soil.

With takes like these, and celebrating the bombing in general, it may well be that, if and when the regime changes, the Persian diaspora may find themselves extremely unwelcome returning to Iran.

r/askhistorians provides the best account of why we have no real evidence of Europeans intentionally using psilocybin mushrooms historically. One important factor is the lack of need for any paraphernalia in using them and the unlikelihood of any preserved remnants. Still strange.

What I don’t see anyone saying is that, by definition, you can’t make a deal after unconditional surrender. You are simply subjected to whatever conditions the victor chooses.

Mr International Rules isn’t sure if the Israel-US attack on Iran is illegal. Repeats long-debunked propaganda about imminent Iranian nuclear weapons.
