oh great now iran wants me to make an account at HormuzStrait dot com so i can easily pay my fees and earn rewards

This is the right thing to say and I wholeheartedly support it and believe it but it is frustrating and aggravating that he's been saying this for months and months and, like Mamdani, some people on here take this as a rhetorical pivot after the primary rather than just sincerity.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

it's a death cult, and if the only ones they were killing were themselves, that would be fine.

*You're* sick of my bullshit? Imagine how *I* feel

I can’t believe Iran saying they think they’ve got Oman on board with their plan to thwart US war aims is being treated as successful peace talks or an American accomplishment, even a little. That is crazy-making to me.

They got people dying in camps now and they’re happy about it. bsky.app/profile/joho...

These guys are freaking out over their own imaginations again.

First, you tell me to get a hobby; now it's an “appropriate hobby”.

F for Fake (1973). One of those movies where you check your pockets at the end to make sure Welles hasn't left a key, or lifted your wallet.

“Since attacking Iran…Trump’s immediate demands have shrunk from a sprawling list of concessions involving Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, ballistic missile production and support for proxy militias to just one: that Iran allow…Hormuz to return to its prewar state.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Donald Trump trapped between escalation and an Iran deal on Tehran’s terms

US president faces few good options to exit a war he once said would end swiftly with the Islamic republic’s surrender

NEW: Israel has imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's West Bank home right before his sister’s grad party. They ignored his US passport. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom. Adam is now the second American in Israeli prison. Trump just hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

Israel Has Imprisoned a 16-Year-Old Palestinian-American Boy for Two Weeks

Adam Karakrah is one of at least two Americans in Israeli prison – both held while Trump hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

the thing is that Wilson seems to not be particularly well-versed in film criticism, which when criticizing a film of the Odyssey is more important than knowledge of the Odyssey.

Tongue in cheek. But in all seriousness, this really is the Trump/Hegseth/MAGA/Manosphere theory of war. Both in the literal sense that cartoonish displays of try-hard toughness are key to defeating enemies, and in the meta sense that their war effort prioritizes memes for their domestic audience.

"Mister international relations professor, you just don't understand modern warfare"

This will get a fraction of the attention that Zohran Mamdani got for calling Netanyahu a war criminal.

Kyle Clark@kylec.bsky.social · yesterday

Depicting Jewish people with horns is a centuries-old, dehumanizing, antisemitic trope. Democratic Gov nominee Phil Weiser is outspoken about his mother’s birth in a Nazi concentration camp, his family members killed in the Holocaust, and the threat posed by antisemitism today.

Mike Black@mikeblack114.bsky.social · 6d ago

this is clickbait garbage a) it wasn't ~dronez~ stuff, it was the same vanilla GPS jamming that has occurred at WSMR for decades b) a crew should *absolutely* be capable of conducting a nonprecision approach to an ILS, *ESPECIALLY* if there's a NOTAM out for PNT jamming

This is not what happened. The crew died because they made a series of poor decisions and weren’t prepared to operate in the conditions that they were. This isn’t a personal hit to that crew, it’s a condemnation of the medevac / aviation vendor’s standards.

It means recognizing the "one-state reality" and declaring that our foremost opposition is to Israeli Jewish racial domination over Palestinians. This opens us up to taking immediate steps which foreground the rights of everyone to equality and dignity while exploring what is politically feasible.

Israel's One State Reality

Understanding Palestine and Israel as they actually are.

abuaardvark.substack.com

Abdul El Sayed's open-mindedness on the question of how to actually resolve the question of Palestine is one of the best indicators of his overall intelligence and sincerity. Policymakers in DC should adopt a rights-based approach which prioritizes ending the occupation and apartheid systems.

El-Sayed: "I believe in equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination, for Palestinians and Jewish Israelis alike... If that’s 2 states, I’m for it. If it’s 1 state, I’m for that. If it’s this 'land for all' model, ... or whatever they decide." www.newyorker.com/news/the-new...

'sex, lies, and videotape' was released on this day in 1989. A deep dive on why it was such a groundbreaker:

How ‘sex, lies, and videotape’ Changed Indie Filmmaking Forever

It began with three brief items in his notebooks. “A film about deception and lost earrings,” went one. “Everybody has a past,” went another. And finally, “Friend on the couch. Affair with the wife.”…
