Right now...

  • CNN is covering it.

  • MSNBC is covering Trump shit.

You'll need to do an exorcism with your adblocker and the scrollbar will probably be hidden.

Also - holy shit MSNBC - this could turn into war. Take a fucking break from Trump!

Edit

It's 28 minutes past the hour and MSNBC is still covering Trump shit.

Getting new info from Twitter as it drops, like the statement from the US official, but he's mostly watching https://livenewsnow.com/american/cnn-live-free.html

I watch using

  • chatterino for chat, and
  • mpv + streamlink for video

and apparently I used one of these countries for a VPN at one point, because I permanently have no Twitch ads when I give streamlink the authorization header for my Twitch account.

If you do watch in-browser, there are some ways to still get no ads.

But if you're talking about blocking all of the non-ad popups, here's my uBO filter list for Twitch

Thanks.

CNN is covering it.

Proof that CNN is part of the far left woke hive mind.

General Arachnid - what do you think is happening?

Spider Marx is too cool of a name to be given to someone in the American military.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 17 points 6 months ago

Yes. And Spider Marx should be a Spider-man spinoff featuring a great-great-(etc?) granddaughter of Groucho.

This made me laugh. Biden is not only a stupid old fucker - he's a stubborn as fuck stupid old fucker.

Netanyahu knows that chaos in the middle east will drive up the global price of oil. Netanyahu likes this because he would prefer Trump wins (despite Biden's already generous assistance to Israel).

Does Biden know this?

Biden would rather lose than do anything against his fellow zionists

Iran has a right to defend itself against this unprovoked strike by Israel.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 30 points 6 months ago

Worth noting…it’s the 85th birthday of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khamenei.

Obviously I don’t know if these strikes were timed intentionally to coincide with his birthday.

Admiral Lobster - what do you think Israel's response will be?

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 19 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

How brave of him to do an interview mid-molting

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

"General Lobster, we didn't expect you'd be able to make it."

"It was bad timing. I was lucky to find a place to stream from. I had my hands full in Florida. I was in mid-molt plus the wife and I were on vacation with 371 of our children..."

[-] anonochronomus@hexbear.net 22 points 6 months ago

Well, looks like they're about to awake the hornets nest that is fortress Iran. The zionists time may be running out.
