Iran regime is growing more defiant and confident. Not in a rush for negotiations or ceasefire. It’s cutting side deals on Hormuz routes (French and Japanese ships crossed), maintains firing capability, clamping down domestically.

This is called infantile egocentrism and we're supposed to age out of it by the time we're 5 or so.

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.

"No stupid rules of engagement" also means "no stupid rules of engagement" on the part of the Iranians towards American troops. Hegseth, like Trump, is in way over his head, and that's going to cost American lives.

Trump, the, bankruptcy king and genius: “Everybody that has ​not called for force majeure we expect ⁠will do so in the next ​few days that this continues. All exporters in ​the Gulf region will have to call force majeure," Kaabi told the FT."

Qatar will not restart production until there is a complete cessation of hostilities: “the signal is when our military says there is a complete stop of hostilities and we are not being attacked anymore. We are not going to put our people in harm’s way.” www.ft.com/content/be12...

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime. You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.

I can't think of any immigrant in American history who has assimilated worse than Musk. The guy hates most of the people here and wants to hurt us, has open contempt for our traditions or values, and has spent billions trying to destroy our culture to replace it with that of his foreign childhood.

this is all racism, obviously, and multiculturalism is great, but i'll note that i'm pretty close to being a median american, and i can't think of too many other people in america with whom i share fewer cultural values that elon musk

musk tweet: for a country to survive, there has to be a common culture

This is a big deal. Approval polls, like the media, courts, and Congress, can serve as vehicles for presidential accountability. We are watching in real time as the institutions that could hold this administration to account wither on the vine.

Gallup announces, after 88 years, it will no longer track public approval of presidents. Trump's second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The president repeatedly has threatened to sue media and polling firms that portray him negatively.

You’re arresting terrified children and using them as bait. Arresting kids getting treatment at doctors’ offices. Blinding protesters. Illegally raiding homes. Making people terrified to leave their homes. You want to pee in peace? Quit your fucking job.

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them. “At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

DHS: Today, Border Patrol agents who were in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area as part of a targeted enforcement operation were repeatedly harassed and blocked by hostile crowds while simply trying to take bathroom breaks. At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving, creating unsafe conditions. At one stop, individuals in the crowd threw food at the agents. At their final gas station stop, someone spit on an agent. When an agent moved to detain the person who spit on him, the crowed tackled and attacked the agents while surrounding them. To safely clear the area agents had to use crowd control measures to disperse the hostile crowd. 4:47PM • 1/21/26 • 1.3K Views

In art school we went over this and actually i kinda want to add that i think men are just not socialized to care about the subtle differences in these colors. Cause i can tell that there is a difference in those nails and in the lip sticks and greyish nails in the video. -

The scientific reason behind why women can see the difference between all four pictures and why men can't. Spoiler alert: It's estrogen.
