This morning, the White House posted targeting footage with an explosion emoji and “No pause. No hesitation.” The gamification of war in real time. This afternoon, a SpongeBob meme celebrating bombing runs in Iran.
Over 1,000 people are dead. Kill footage as content wasn’t enough. Now it’s kill footage as comedy. This is a shitpost about war. The official account of the United States government is using a children’s cartoon character to celebrate bombing runs. And it normalizes escalation. People are dying. Children are dying. And these people find it entertaining.
You occasionally get a moment that symbolizes everything wrong with this country. In this case it's a U.S. Marine veteran screaming out that no one wants to fight for Israel and a U.S. Senator breaking his arm. A perfect encapsulation of US foreign policy.
@TheSaurus831 Shooter in front of the fountains on the strip in the crowd. ~5 shots fired. Saw multiple people down. Trio of cops ran from Paris side of road towards the shots but couldn’t find the guy. Stay safe.
@Kevmath@BrynleeM9879@ToddWitteles@BicycleCasino On the day of the tournament the clock said $904k, they took out $96k from 12 double bags. Does this mean they took out $52k on top of that to make it an $852k after staff and double bag fees?
