"the human brain has yet to adapt to our world" is a weird way to say "the system we set up to make a handful of people extremely rich generally sucks for everyone else"
This is my greatest fear. I know what I am capable of achieving, and I have seen people around me who are extremely talented, brilliant and had so much potential, yet they did not live up to their expectations.
If only they had taken life a little bit more seriously and were intentional about what they did every day, they’d have had a better life.
I don’t want to look back one day realising I could have been better if only I pushed harder. My philosophy in life is to sieze every moment like it’s the only shot I’ll ever have and make the most of it so that if I ever have to look back, given similar conditions, there should be really nothing within my power I could have done better.
A months-long Sky News investigation into the US double-tap strike on a Minab girls' school found the Pentagon had tracked the site by satellite since 1987 and could still count children's shadows in the courtyard before firing anyway.
What the evidence shows:
Three Tomahawk missiles fired from the USS Spruance, 716 kilometers away in the Arabian Sea, hit the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab on Feb 28, the opening day of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Witnesses described a second strike hitting the exact spot where a teacher had moved surviving students for shelter, killing nearly everyone who had taken cover there. A third strike followed on the same site. Death tolls range from 156 to over 170, most of them girls aged seven to twelve. The school had been walled off from the adjacent IRGC naval base since at least 2015, had its own website, and was geolocatable through open-source materials any analyst could have pulled in minutes.
Built to fail:
The Pentagon's own machinery for preventing exactly this outcome had already been dismantled. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth slashed the Civilian Protection Center of Excellence workforce by roughly 90 percent and cut CENTCOM's civilian casualty assessment team from ten people to one, months before the war started. A May Pentagon Inspector General report found the office had become a shell on paper with no budget, no mandate, no real mission. A functioning warning system was defunded on purpose, then blamed for not warning anyone.
Accountability buried:
Four months on, CENTCOM's commander told reporters the investigation was near complete, yet nothing has been released. Asked in June whether anyone would face consequences, Trump called it a strange question, adding that mistakes are made and war is nasty. The mistake was choosing not to fund the office that exists to catch mistakes like this one.
My take: A military that surveilled a schoolyard for four decades didn't fail to see the children, it decided in advance that seeing them wouldn't change the targeting. Nobody in this chain lacked information.
The answer is servant leadership.
I’ll give you two scenarios.
When Messi moved to PSG, in their championship league match against City, he laid down behind the wall to form a shield against low balls.
He did not need to do that.
But he did it anyway
Now look at Ronaldo. In 2022, Erik Ten Hag wanted to bring him on in the 89th minute, after United were 2 - 0 against Tottenham.
What did he do?
He refused, then stormed off into the tunnel.
This was United’s best performance maybe all season, yet because He wasn’t the star, he made a mess out of the whole thing.
He was dropped from the squad the next game, and was fined about 2 weeks worth of wages (about £1m)
Whether you think he had a right to do that or not is not my argument.
I want you to look at the impact on his teammates.
Imagine being under pressure for months at United, pundits saying all sorts about the team.
Now you put up a performance against one of the big 6 and played really really well.
You are hoping that some of the pressure finally eases up, only to see that the entire discussion that week was how the “star” of the team decided to throw a tantrum.
Do you think any player in that squad will feel loyalty towards him?
The point is that Messi considers himself a servant to the team, and would do whatever needs to be done to ensure the team succeeds, but for Ronaldo, it’s the opposite.
Ronaldo considers his team a servant to his ambition, and would do whatever it takes, including throwing his teammates under the bus to get that next goal.
It has obviously made both of them very decorated players, but only one of them will inspire a team to die for them on the pitch.
That’s why it seems like the Portugal team seems disjointed and can’t seem to connect, and why the Argentinian team would die for Messi.
this isn’t funny - this is horrific, unforgivable, and grotesque. sexual assault is never funny, rape is never funny, and saying shit like this with the specific history of militaries committing sexual violence to fellow military members and locals is actually crazy.
This clip is wild. The first half is describing how he’s rounding up his political enemies to imprison them. The second half is describing his reason: because “left-wing terrorists” want to round up their political enemies and put them in prison.
Straight up Third Reich shit.
ICE is kidnapping NATIVE AMERICANS because they're not white. What ICE and DHS have been sectioned to do has absolutely nothing to do with nationality and legal status because their purpose is to ethnically cleanse PEOPLE OF COLOUR and hold them captive and traffick for profit.
💢 Breaking: The ICE agent who shot and killed 26-year-old Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Biddeford, Maine, on Monday has been identified as David Michael Brouillette, 37, a former Maine law enforcement officer and Army veteran, the Portland Press Herald reported.
Brouillette was first identified Wednesday by ICE List, a public database of ICE officers run from the Netherlands, which cited two people who knew him personally. His ex-wife confirmed it the next day.
His ex-wife, Ashley Brouillette, said he called admitting to the shooting and asking her to “lie for him.” She said she reviewed footage of the scene and disputed his account, saying “nowhere in there does it show that this man charged at you with a car.”
Ashley Brouillette also said that her ex-husband was abusive during their relationship and that she had previously reported concerns about his mental health to his military superiors. DHS has refused to identify him.
