the Cranbrook campus has these parallel rows of statues that look like the palace grounds from Last Year at Marienbad or the field from the end of Maya Deren’s Ritual in Transfigured Time. Used to spend hours looking at them. But they, too, should be exploded.
After three days of egregious violations by the occupation army targeting Lebanese civilians, there are new reports of a "security incident" in southern Lebanon. An IOF unit was reportedly ambushed. Multiple wounded, including critical injuries.
The fact that two US aircraft carrier, fighter jets, Drones, Early Warning aircraft .. are operating nearly 24/7 and couldnt protect that container ship in Omani waters, is a reminder that the US has no control over the Strait.
Airspace at 14h10 UTC (time of the attack)
The Pentagon has reinstated mandatory flu vaccinations for all new military recruits after a flu outbreak at Lackland Air Force Base sickened nearly 300 trainees.
The policy reversal follows Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's April decision to make the vaccine optional, though officials say the change is unrelated to the outbreak.
Only about 40% of recruits chose to get vaccinated when it became optional.

Full quote:
"In America, the solidarity movement with the Palestinian cause is mostly conditional upon the continued existence of the zionist entity. Those Americans who fully support our cause and oppose the zionist entity and its existence inherently oppose the idea of America itself. The enemy state is almost a carbon copy of America, except that the zionist project was fully aware of its identity from the start. Therefore, don't exhaust yourselves by trying to evoke the emotions of Americans and begging for their tears for your wounded selves. The better and more important approach is to dismantle the idea of America in their minds as a gateway to ensuring their understanding of our cause and rights. Any other effort will, like foam, vanish and ultimately dissipate. It is impossible to win over an American to our side without them opposing the idea of America."

🚨 Another disgrace by FIFA and the USA.
Mehdi Taremi and assistant coach Saeid Alhoei have been held back while the rest of the squad is on its way to Seattle, waiting for the two of them.
How long will FIFA and the United States continue to mistreat the Iranian national team?
الرئيس التركي أردوغان:
لم نرضَ بمخططات إسرائيل التي تهدف إلى إثارة المزيد من المشاكل وعدم الاستقرار في منطقتنا.
هناك حقيقة واحدة واضحة: ما حدث خلال الأزمة الإيرانية أظهر للجميع مدى عظمة وقوة جمهورية تركيا.
