Hasan Piker responds to heckler asking if he called for Charlie Kirk's death

"I was supposed to debate Charlie. He respected that.

It's sad to see the the conservative movement refuse to carry the flame.

I on the other hand, do carry that flame. Because we are Charlie Kirk."

I wasn't expecting Avi Lewis to ball this hard, positively surprised tbh

The postwar boom was a historical anomaly only made possible by the destruction of World War II, but its duration convinced generations that this was "normal" capitalism. In fact capitalism is now merely returning to its normal state of chronic crisis and insecurity for workers.

Trump ha llevado consigo a China a la élite corporativa estadounidense, reforzando la teoría marxista que demuestra cómo el Estado capitalista no es otra cosa que el consejo de administración que gestiona los intereses de la burguesía.

I think China outperforming America and Europe in finance capital so hard that they can reinstate an industrial proletariat in the imperial core and ripen the conditions for revolution is the funniest possible outcome of Deng Xiaoping thought. Did you ever doubt the plan, anon?

Using public funds to back guarantee and attract private capital while pretending it's a public investment.

The most evil and hyper realized form of neoliberalism seen to date

avi lewis getting doug ford to publicly humiliate himself and lick billionaire boot on television is amazing early returns on his NDP leadership.

A quick reminder for midwits who ignore critiques of political economy - communists critique capitalism not because it fails, but because it operates exactly as designed. Both its advantages and its drawbacks are inherent features of the system.

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph.

Both pilots are dead.

Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years.

A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when.

The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day.

The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country.

Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years.

Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday.

The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement.

The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision.

The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.”

One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

🚨 RECAP | U.S.-Israeli airstrikes reported across multiple Iranian cities

Al Jazeera report heavy and relentless waves of US-Israeli strikes hitting several regions across the country, including the capital.

▪️ In Tehran, explosions were reported near Mehrabad Airport, Azadi Square, Tehransar, and Chitgar in the western part of the city.

▪️ Other strikes were reported in Bandar Abbas in southern Iran, Tabriz in the northwest, Bushehr on the Persian Gulf coast, and Qazvin west of Tehran.

▪️ Officials in East Azerbaijan Province reported dozens of casualties, while authorities say the nationwide death toll from recent attacks is over 1,000 people, with more than 6,000 wounded and hundreds of children killed and hospitalized.

At the same time, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it has launched the 18th wave of Operation True Promise IV, targeting Israel and sites linked to U.S. forces in the region, including Kuwait and northern Iraq.

War just expanded to the Indian Ocean.

Iranian frigate IRIS Dena traveled to India during peace time to join Fleet Review at the invitation of India.

As it was returning home, the US and Israel launched attack against Iran. US sub sank Dena in waters around Sri Lanka.

This was a Pearl Harbor style sneak attack. India gov so far remains silent.

This means the war is no longer localized. American assets everywhere around the world now fair game

Going from "We have completely toppled the regime" to being proud of blowing up individual Shaheds one at a time is probably a sign things are going great
