It sucks that everything in the Levant was totally fine before October 7th, 2023, when Hamas fell out of the coconut tree

IDF should have buried that footage 10,000 leagues under the sea. but along the way, everyone who viewed it before approving its release didn’t think of Sinwar as a human. they saw footage of a crushed bug twitching its leg, and viewed the release as a well-earned victory lap

I’m lowkey terrified of what this week will bring. but not any less terrified of the consequences if the situation does not escalate from here. Israel continues to rain death down across West Asia with no consequences save for attacks from the Resistance

a red horse stares down the region today, her maw silently opening wider as her rider grins from the sheer joy of anticipation. the impotence of modern Western leadership, capping off the deliberate and evil policies of their forebears has culminated in an inferno that may well consume the world and reshape the global order permanently.

whatever happens today, I hope that it is in service of a world where innocents are not slaughtered, and Israel in its current form has been either humbled or annihilated. but right now, the dogs of war are hungry. and one way or another, they will sate themselves.

Death to Israel

people are absolutely careless on here sometimes lmfao

In a stunning turn of events, the Supreme Court has once again hit that sweet 6-3 split, this time on the question of whether ol Donny Trump can wriggle his way out of his biggest jam yet.

This SCOTUS ruling sets the precedent that the office of the Presidency is immune to any legal repercussions for crimes committed as part of an ‘official act’. Any president can now do whatever they want in office and face 0 consequences for it.

Remember, you have to VOTE Dem forever now, lest this weaponised office of unchecked power that the Dems have done nothing to meaningfully stop the creation of fall into the hands of a Republican. Your ability to continue VOTEing Dem while conditions deteriorate depends on it!

Something I wonder about when I post in threads like this is the possibility of it being sifted through one day by historians, of some sort. Whether that’s internet archivists digging around the wreckage of the old worldwide web for lost media 20 years from now, or scholars from a post-internet empire 5 centuries from now trying to salvage whatever data they can from what they view as the height of human civilisation. Just as the tiniest Roman shopping list carved onto stone would give us insight into what life was like for a distant ancestor of ours, our posts could give our descendants a glimpse into our world.

If you are a curious scholar or even a passionate amateur sifting through the digital detritus of the 2020s to learn what life was like in the leadup to the third world war, i have only one message for you: MARG BAR ISRAEL

Outlets are retracting obituaries and stories about the death of Noam Chomsky. It appears that Dr. Chomsky either did not pass away, or that his wife is trained in the forbidden arts of Brazilian Necromancy, the same powers that have kept Jair Bolsonaro’s remains animated for the past decade.

its how every European talks in the age of the anglo-centric internet. our guttural Frankenstein language has become the Latin of the 21st century

i find it very very funny that Nikki Haley’s campaign strategy is “be the only other the person in the running besides Trump all the way until the Convention because chances are he’ll bite the dust or go to prison before then”. and i would find it earth-shatteringly funny if that happened but the party still picked someone other than Haley

I’m fascinated by how long it took for America to have any kind of non-passive stance on Ansarallah. Like, one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world suddenly is seen as treacherous and not worth the risk to use, due to military actions being taken by a Iran-backed militia movement that most of the world doesn’t recognize as a state actor. And it took weeks for the globe-spanning empire that built an entire global order off of the promise of safety provided by its giant navy to get involved? Its like the cops showing up to a domestic disturbance call 3 weeks late and saying “damn that sucks” to the half-decomposed corpse of the victim before leaving.

What are folks’ thoughts on why it took so long for something to be done? Was fear of escalation with Iran region-wide strong enough to deter yanks from doing basic “globe spanning maritime empire” anti-piracy stuff? Do you think it was anxiety about whether their current surface fleet is capable of engaging a force that relies so heavily on missiles and drones? What led to this historically unprecedented reluctance from the USA?

Prediction: tomorrow Nasrallah walks out onto the stage, rips up the paper he wrote his speech on, and just laughs into the mic as the rocket barrage begins

I think any chance of the Brandon Regime walking the Middle East back from the brink might have just been destroyed by the hospital bombing. there’s no de-escalating after admitting the ~800 deaths at a hospital are your doing. this is going to force every involved parties’ hands. i really don’t want to see where this is going.

EDIT 1 DAY LATER: i don’t know why i expected anything other than a flimsy counternarrative spread with the help of the white house
