Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender.

It’s a genocide. We don’t intend to let them surrender. We’re going to keep killing long after Iran has been fully defanged

Collateral Murder

Stop. Posting. On. Reddit.

Another 30+ years of “terrorists”

We were never going to hear the end of “Muslim Terrorist” rhetoric, because it was instrumental in justifying our dominion over the region.

There isn’t going to be another 9/11. We’re well past the point of needing a causa belli for this kind of war. It’ll just be ICE goons murdering parents in front of crying children and CNN talking heads explaining how we’re safer because of it.

Gotta wonder how many Chuds will post “Iranians can wear bikinis again” before the bodies are even cold

Flip to what, though?

Reza Pahlavi appears to be the current useful idiot of the West

Given the viciousness and the firepower both US and Israel can bring to bare, it’s very possible they killed him.

Also possible they’re just announcing this to further domestic unrest. If Khamenei doesn’t stick his head out to announce he’s alive, it will be that much easier to flip generals or city leaders who think they’ll need to surrender in order to survive.

Videos in Farsi published on social media show some people cheering in Tehran

“We’ll be greeted as liberators”

No shortage of people in Iran who hate the Ayatollah. But it’s unlikely you’ll find folks under active bombardment feeling in the mood to cheer at any news.

Which defeats the whole point

The modern model for Facebook is as digital flypaper. Trapping users in their ecosystem on the assumption the social network and the poor tech skills, plus the highly addictive algorithm, will keep them mired in psychological quicksand until all their vital essences are harvested.

As disgusting as the site is, I still find myself peaking back in to reach out to an old friend or family member, because that’s literally the only way I have to communicate. Incredibly frustrating.

The Chinese law enforcement official used ChatGPT like a diary to document the alleged covert campaign of suppression, OpenAI said.

:-/

The report comes amid a battle between the US and China for supremacy over AI.

The Pentagon is in a standoff with another prominent AI company, Anthropic [a major OpenAI rival], over the use of its AI model. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has given Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei a Friday deadline to comply with demands to peel back safeguards on its AI model or risk losing a lucrative Pentagon contract.

Sam Altman is so fucking thirsty right now.

The next general election is in 2028.

We just had a by election yesterday

What’s the over/under on Barron Trump being appointed VP before the end of Trump’s second term?

It doesn’t seem like they have more appealing choices

Right, so why leave at all? Just moving from the frying pan to the fire.

It does seem to be a downward trajectory at least though.

They’re off their peak, as they’re being forced to try and govern in the smattering of local elections they’ve already won. Also, Reform is getting larded up with Tory and New Labour refugees. The joke I’ve heard is “this may be the first boat to get sunk by the rats jumping on board”.

I hope the wider British public wakes up before the election.

The public is constantly being “woken up” by a hysterical national media. It is, if anything, too awake. Like a man on a coke bender who hasn’t slept in days. They’re incapable of supporting any kind of moderate liberal campaign for fear of these candidates being too nice to Muslims or Gays or KGB agents or pedophiles.

you’d be better off somewhere that has a relatively young democracy and/or dictatorship in living memory (Germany and Spain look pretty good from where I’m sitting - but even Germany is a little bit O.o).

Germany is absolutely fucked. The AfD is polling on par with Reform, atm.

Spain is caught between a dozen different rocks and hard places. I’d say they at least have some nice HSR, but two derailments in as many months is fucking bleak. All of Europe is once again staring down the barrel of “Oops, all out of money”, thanks to their inability to tax billionaires or nationalize critical industries. It’s going to be a repeat of 2010 if the US economy repeats 2008.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election#Seat_projections

Currently polling has Reform at a +112 seat majority.

Approval polling has Reform as the predominant choice.

The year is 2026 and the country of Canada has finally invented an automatic way of posting memes to Facebook.

The game has officially changed, boys.

Oh, no, wait… I’m being passed a note

Nevermind. You’re all still fucked.

Lolz. The UK? The one that’s about to install the Reform Party?

You idiots. You imbeciles. You’re just rats jumping from one sinking ship onto another.

Houston’s strip clubs and brothels are packed to overflowing with “Rescued Cubans”. Miami, Atlanta, and New Orleans, too.

The US cartels and the CIA have been flesh-peddling naive young people out of Cuba for decades. It is absolutely human trafficking.

Guaranteed everyone on board was zooted to the gills, thinking they could do Bay of Pigs on Impossible difficulty.

shrug Lemmy’s a tough crowd. But tough crowds make hard posters.

Iran supports the resistance behind the scenes not in front of it like Yemen.

That stopped being true years ago. They’ve fully retreated from the regional stage.

they are already doing a million times more than every other country worldwide

They’re unable to keep the water flowing and the lights on, because they keep trying to make deals with Western imperialists and getting played
