Trump on Iran: “it’s not very complex” Says the man who has already been checkmated, while he thought he was playing tic-tac-toe.

Trump: “Talks will go quickly, one way or the other. It's not very complex. “We are talking about opening the strait tomorrow, completely open. “Then we will talk about the nuclear capacity of Iran.”

You've got one guy who feeds the poor and starving, and one guy who steals the food right off their plates. Not that hard to identify which one is the asshole, here.

Ukrainians have had more sustained protests over a cabinet shuffle than Americans have had over their country imploding into a fascist kleptocracy run by a convicted rapist and a bunch of pedophiles. Get up on your hind legs ffs.

for years, I have been using "draw the bike" as a metaphor for "attempt to recreate your knowledge thereby revealing invisible lack of understanding". TIL there was a paper about it

UN needs to intervene. Nations of peoples need to come together, form treaties, and just say NO to Musk. Then jail him for decades for any continued violation.

Maybe this hasn’t sunk in for anyone who should care but the NHS was birthed when the UK *literally had negative money*. The USA had razed us of every penny to pay for weapons to defend ourselves against Germany, Germany had bombed all our industrial sites. We still did it in 6 months. 6.

Amnesty International UK@amnestyuk.bsky.social · last mo.

The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.

Suggestion for SCOTUS reform: Elevate the entire Circuit Court System (179) to SCOTUS (total: 188). "Suggest" they maintain a "final review bench" of one Justice from each Circuit, to be chosen by their peers to serve at their will and then return. No amendment needed, just legislation. more..→

‪Paul Musgrave‬ argues that Trump’s defeat in Iran is a bigger US defeat in strategic terms than the US loss in Vietnam, with more dramatic and longer lasting adverse consequences for the US and its economy. foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/16/i...

Reporting on Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire should be done with the same general tone as a lethal virus escaping containment, not as an awesome achievement.

Twitter/X is an enormous national security threat on a global scale, and a lot more nations need to grow a spine and start blocking it (and taking other active, aggressive measures).

Trump: “hundreds of millions of dollars of my time” lol I wouldn’t pay Trump minimum wage. All he does is ruin things. Trump’s value is negative.

Holy shit, Trump is really crashing out. His latest unhinged screed: “We should have a giant MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN RALLY, for 250, instead of having overpriced singers, who nobody wants to hear, whose music is boring, and yet who do nothing but complain. Cancel it.”

Imagine making this graphic and thinking it represents bad things
