I wrote a review for an album that has changed my life, "seeyalater stratocaster" by @ippotsk. It is almost 7,000 words long, easily five times the length of my previous longest review. I hope you enjoy this album as much as I do. https://t.co/hMSqvbP0QW
زیرساختهای حیاتی، شریانهای زندگی مردماند. تهدید به هدف قرار دادن آنها از شبکههای حمل و نقل تا صنعت برق و آب نه نمایش قدرت بلکه نشانه استیصال در برابر اراده یک ملت است.
ایران با تکیه بر دانش و توان متخصصان، وحدت ملی و همبستگی، در برابر هر فشار و تهدیدی استوار خواهد ماند.
Foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk on account of their own human errors, plain accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire.
To reduce risk, best solution is for them to leave.
We prefer language of diplomacy but speak other languages too.
صد روز از جهاد ملتی که برای حفظ ایرانِ جان قیام کرد میگذرد.
درود خدا بر شما که پشت ایران را گرم کردید، دشمن را ناامید ساختید و کشور را از دهان گرگهای درّندهای که برای تسلیم کردن ایران اسلامی دندان تیز کرده بودند، بیرون کشیدید.
پاینده ایران و زنده باد مقاومت ملت بزرگ ایران
it's kind of funny how this scene was very clearly written to make AJ look like a pretentious dick but in hindsight... yeah, he was one hundred percent right, SBC is basically the fucking devil
Bari Weiss built her entire public identity on the proposition that cancel culture was destroying American discourse. She wrote about it. She founded a publication around it. She championed the Intellectual Dark Web as brave thinkers being silenced for saying forbidden things.
Scott Pelley said factually true things, without yelling, without cursing, without threatening anyone, in a staff meeting. He said Bilton had slender qualifications. He said Weiss was murdering 60 Minutes. He said these things because they are true and because saying true things in rooms where powerful people prefer comfortable silence is - per Weiss's own stated philosophy - exactly what journalists are supposed to do.
She fired him.
JVL names what this exposes precisely. They never wanted to end cancel culture. They wanted to control it. Some forbidden ideas - the ones MAGA likes - must be protected and platformed. Other ideas - the ones Bari Weiss dislikes - are genuinely verboten. Say them out loud and you lose your job.
The Pentagon press office is now classified. Tim Miller was threatened with FARA for sharing a public news report. Comey is being prosecuted for seashells on a beach. The federal workforce faces proposed NDAs. Pelley was fired for refusing instructions to broadcast unverified assertions and then saying so in a meeting.
The through line is not chaos. It is a consistent, documented project to determine who gets to speak, about what, to whom, and under whose authority. Cancel culture was never the target. It was always the tactic. Weiss just proved it by doing the thing she built her career opposing, the moment she had the power to do it.
Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

What's important here is that he spent the entire production trying to bait Muslims into assaulting him for acting flamboyantly gay. Only for that to never happen, except with a group of Israelis. It's the only time he broke character during production, to tell them he was acting
The AMOC has reliably transported heat from the equator to the North Atlantic for the past 12,000 years, and sporadically for a lot longer than that. It’s the reason Europe is warmer than its latitude would suggest. Its collapse would be an irreversible ramping up of planetary climate chaos—a paradoxical deep freeze on a warming planet, with New England and especially Europe getting much colder temperatures and higher sea levels (in fact sea levels near me are already elevated from AMOC weakening). Like the date of its collapse, the overall effects are not fully known, but the AMOC has global impacts, regulating weather systems that feed billions. This isn’t just one more thing we’ll have to learn to live with; it would be calamity, a tipping-point-of-no-return that will split human history in two.
