Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 5h agoIran's President Pezeshkian said that it is very difficult to communicate with the country's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei at this time. Pezeshkian added that Khamenei has an exceptional, multi-dimensional, and dynamic personality.-Kann
"[A] Deal, or Total Surrender". I think this makes clear the nigh-impossible goal he's after. There is no consideration of regime-change, which is easier than both, and more importantly the right thing to do.

"Every country acts at the direction or or in opposition to the United States" is an attitude way too frequently encountered among people who should know better.
ellen teapot 🇨🇦🏳️⚧️@ellenteapot.ca · 2w agoIf you grow up in a sufficiently big and powerful country, like the USA or PRC or USSR/Russian Federation, middle countries simply are not real to you This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but I do genuinely believe something like it is true.
You'd have thought that a pariah country with massive oil supplies would make sure to have more than enough refineries. Turns out, not the case. www.dw.com/en/iran-sign...

Alright, throwing this into the wind. Reposts appreciated (and I don't usually say that). I am open to work in Anchorage, AK. Ideally want to make no less than around $25/hr (because with how CoL is going even that would be tight), but will seriously consider anything.

Did this particular type of inorganic behaviour suddenly drop on January 8th and only come back up a couple days later? Because in that case, I have a pretty good idea who is behind it.
rahaeli@rahaeli.bsky.social · 4w agoI don't know who's behind it (I have my theories but I don't have a large enough corpus containing metadata to be sure), but the pattern is SO FUCKING OBVIOUS.
Oil refinery, huh. It *is* within the range of Ukrainian drones... Any idea if petrochemical products from this refinery were exported to Russia?

2/ The US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) requires Iran to engage with Oman to determine the “future administration” of the strait, but recent reports indicate that Iran and Oman have different visions for the future management of the waterway.

ADDENDUM: $1500 is technically still outside my budget right now though, so if anyone can throw a few bucks it would be appreciated. I’d prefer my mother not have to cover $1000 of this, given that she’s already paid for a lot of expenses associated with the move to Anchorage.

My mother is offering to pay for it but she’s already given me A LOT of money recently, so here. It’s probably gonna be $1500+ on account of the current part shortages.

New machine has been ordered, and I’m going to try to pick it up later today. I’ve received around one-third the cost so far. Ideally I’d like to get a bit more, if possible.

If everybody else could send Wynn some money too, much appreciated!

If you happen to know anyone who may currently be in Moscow, like a foreign correspondent, someone in the opposition, or diplomat, tell them to not go outside today. The smoke and fumes from that burning refinery genuinely is some of the most toxic crap you can inhale.

Ehm, reading this thread I get the impression you Americans normally have locks on interior doors. But that can't be standard, right? There's no need for them.
Thomas Neville@goobermunch.bsky.social · 2mo agoHave you ever tried to lock someone in a room? It’s tricky since interior doors are designed to lock people out of rooms. If you’ve flipped the doorknob on your child’s door to let you lock them in their room, you’re an abusive fuck.
@dienst-toeslagen.bsky.social Ik kreeg van jullie een nieuwe voorschotbeschikking met daarop de zin "Wij hebben geen, niet tijdig of onjuiste huurgegevens van u ontvangen." Dat is ook juist, ik woon nu in mijn eigen koopwoning, en ik heb de huurtoeslag ook stopgezet.
