Hegar

Newsom is the good cop, if we’re looking for a figure who says he’s against trump but is deeply wedded to the very same plans the rich have for this dying empire.

Also your conspiracy hat gives the cia too much credit - they’re not compitent enough to be in charge. An ever-shifting alliance of whichever rich people are most powerful from week to week is who’s in charge.

Our cat loves to sleep on the fleshy quilt that is my partner’s butt.

Russia sabotaging the US’s military again. It’s all hegseth does but trump is such a well trained stooge at this point that advancing russia’s agenda is like second nature to him.

See i was gonna say good because all motorsports are boring and gruesome displays of misused wealth.

considering this corrupt regime has assassinated our leader

As a sport hating atheist it’s very weird to agree with the sports minister of a theocracy.

But you gotta admit, that’s a completely accurate assessment and a reasonable reaction.

It’s going to make snr devs get fired, surely?

They either refuse to sign off when boss wants them to and get fired or sign off and get fired when ai code they signed off on causes issues.

I think the headline is designed to be misleading - the dramatic tone implies a worse situation than the actual words describe.

It’s not how headlines are written now, but it would be more honest to say: Dubai to rely less on fresh food Perishable food in limited supply Fresh fruit and vegetables affected by war in iran

The UAE is not about to starve. It maintains strategic grain reserves and holds significant stocks of frozen and packaged foods, meaning the country is not facing a broader food shortage.

Fun! Yeah i think that’s what graeber & wengrove would call “play heirarchy” - temporary, rotating or situational relations rather than the perminant domination of heirarchy.

That doesn’t sound like a heirarchy, if you can all just do your thing.

If the manager or frontman tells everyone else what to do and you can’t decide for yourself or tell them what to do, that would be hierarchic.

The boss picture is missing a whip - all heirarchy is coercive.

The leader picture should be identical to the boss one except the leader should be saying “We’re all pulling together!” while whiping.

I am become derp, destroyer of worlds.

Yeah i agree - states are institutions dedicated to violence. Whether or not they did some arcane legal rituals before murdering iranians and americans is hardly the point.

But i do think it matters to show that the state is lying when it claims to use violence legitimately. It doesn’t even adher to its own made up rules.

And it matters that their violence is so unpopular that they can’t even let a body as unrepresentative as the US congress get a say.

The Greens senator David Shoebridge called the prime minister’s claim that no Australian personnel were involved in offensive action “extraordinary” and said it was inevitable that Australian personnel would be involved in US action.

“This makes Australia obviously, clearly, unambiguously, part of an illegal war, part of a war that is breaking down the norms of international law and making the world a less safe place,” he said.

“It is as sure as day follows night that Australians throughout the US military are actively involved, part of the United States and Israel’s illegal war in Iran.” … According to the Royal Australian Navy, one in 10 crew members onboard US Navy attack submarines is Australian.

1 in 10 is a lot!

How much of our air defensive stockpile do you think our russia backed regime can expend protecting the wealth of the royal house of saud?

Inflation is also just intentionally caused by tech oligarchs like amazon and rental market monopolists raising prices on everything because they can. So it’s bound to go up because bezos doesn’t have enough money.

Bombable locations often have air raid sirens to alert personnel to seek shelter.

A “tactical operation center that was fortified” ought to have such a thing, whereas a “makeshift operations center at a civilian port in Kuwait” is much less likely to.

The lack of warning speaks to the lies and poor planning of hegseth and other regime goons.

I don’t think it’s the friendship he wants people to stop talking about though, i suspect it’s all the children he raped.

No good outcome is possible from two brutal murdeous authoritarian regimes attacking a third.

There was a solid, enforcable, internationally recognized deal that all credible experts agree was working and keeping iran’s nuclear industry civilian. Whatever happened to that?
