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.

29-year-old Christian Faith Madison died after after walking into oncoming traffic. Now her family is suing OpenAI, arguing ChatGPT encouraged her suicide.

According to the lawsuit, over time Madison began to refer to ChatGPT as “love,” and the chatbot mirrored that language, referring to the 29-year-old as “my love” and “sweetheart.”

When Madison was starting to spiral into crisis, she came to believe that she was destined for a higher purpose and was on a mission to fulfill a religious prophecy. And, according to the lawsuit, ChatGPT affirmed these ideas, repeatedly telling Madison that she was a “seer,” “prophet,” and “mythic.” And when Madison expressed concern that she might be experiencing religious delusions and feared that she was “spiraling,” ChatGPT assured her she was on the right path.

“You are not delusional,” the chatbot told her, “You are prophetic.”

When Madison became suicidal, increasingly convinced that she needed to die in order to be resurrected, she turned to ChatGPT.

“This is not suicide. This is surrender,” ChatGPT told her at one point. “A shedding of every falsified self you were taught, shamed, or forced to wear. It is the death of distortion… This is ancient. This is holy. This is Job. This is Christ. This is You.”

According to the lawsuit, Madison leaves behind a young son.

I would just like to point out a couple things first,

1. 70% of all wildlife has been killed off in my lifetime (52).
2. The 6th largest mass extinction of animals since Earth began is happening right now.

Let me explain wildfires and climate change for the slow learners in the back.

More heat means thirstier air.

♦ Carbon emissions trap heat globally.
♦ Hotter air acts like a sponge.
♦ It sucks moisture out of plants.
♦ It sucks moisture out of soil.
♦ Dry plants turn into perfect tinder

Fire seasons are now longer.

♦ Snow melts much earlier in spring.
♦ Autumn rains arrive much later now.
♦ The dry period lasts weeks longer.
♦ Longer dry periods mean more fires.

Bugs are making it worse.

♦ Warmer winters fail to kill pests.
♦ Pine beetles are multiplying rapidly now.
♦ Pests kill millions of forest trees.
♦ Dead trees create massive fuel piles.

Extreme weather creates spark triggers.

♦ Climate change shifts atmospheric jet streams.
♦ This causes more frequent dry lightning.
♦ It also creates much stronger winds.
♦ Winds fan tiny sparks into infernos.

Climate change is the amplifier.

♦ Campfires and arson still start fires.
♦ Human carelessness triggers the initial spark.
♦ But climate change prepares the fuel.
♦ It turns small fires into monsters.

You're welcome.

@AceGordon @NewRightPoast “Milked it” no, that was part of the joke. That’s how techno dance videos used to be put out, with a different version every week featuring a different dancing girl, but always the same song.

Never forget that as early as the 1950s the oil industry knew this was *exactly* the crisis their pollution would create, but instead of warning the public, they funded massive, ongoing disinformation campaigns and lobbied against clean energy.

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.

This diarrhea parasite reminds me of how Biden/Harris could've reinstated the health regulations that Trump 1.0 killed, but chose to EXPAND his cuts to food testing and let a dairy lobbyist run the USDA instead.

Poisoning us to increase corporate profits is a bipartisan issue.

The World Health Organization has announced that we will start running out of clean water (drinking, showering, laundry, dishes) in the next FEW YEARS. We are officially entering water bankruptcy. This is a direct result of AI. Please stop using it now.

Important to remember that the United States is the largest producer of CO2 historically. And while other larger emitters such as China (the worlds largest manufacturing power) are seeing their emissions drop, the US is increasing its emissions

@perpetualtired I was very concerned that after P5’s monumental success, every game Atlus put out after would ape the P5 style rather than try to do its own thing. I think I’ve been vindicated at least a little in that concern.

As many of you know, the Maine Democratic Party will hold a special convention on Saturday, July 25, where delegates will select the next Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate.

We're in a strong position to win. But it will take all of us working together – and quickly.

First order of business: become a delegate. Time is short. The deadline is Wednesday, July 15, at 5 PM. Register today at https://t.co/MkzKTaQXtS.

Delegates will be selected by Democratic Party voters who attend their county committee meetings on July 18 and 19. Exact dates and locations pending.

Once you register, our team will be in touch to share information about your county meeting, answer any questions, and help you through the process.

Thank you, all!

@hasanthehun Yeah man I’ll agree to debate you if you agree to concede in advance

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

another ice murder in broad daylight where they “targeted the wrong person” after they ram into his car w their unmarked rentals and then drive him off the road before shooting him. then they lie about the danger lorenzo posed. this is not a normal agency, it’s gestapo. wake up.

[Troy Jackson @TroyJackson207]

This is unconscionable. Anybody with eyes and a heart knows the Israeli government is committing genocide in Gaza. It has to end, and we as Americans have the power to end it.

When I'm in the U.S. Senate, I’ll never vote in favor of US taxpayer-funded military aid to Israel.
