I've accomplished everything in life that I've set out to do except one thing. I've always wanted to make a Faustian bargain. Maybe when I'm older.

The Miami Heat accidentally posted, then deleted, a scheduled YouTube livestream titled “LeBron James Introductory Press Conference” for July 27.

A team spokesperson told @ShamsCharania the link was mistakenly published while preparing for a possible James signing. https://t.co/FeH7tgdB9D

It's cool watching 100 year old movies about union strikes. Good to remember how long people have been working for labor rights. Puts into perspective current day labor issues and lessens my cynicism.

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.

Mamdani: When it comes to Netanyahu, we’re speaking about someone who is the subject of an ICC arrest warrant. He’s the subject of this warrant for alleged crimes against humanity, for war crimes, and he’s the architect of the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

These are not facts of my assessment; they are facts of public record.

If someone is the subject of an ICC arrest warrant for these kinds of crimes, that’s something I believe should be honored. I have also said we will follow our local laws.
