Let's put it this way: if Iran bombed the US with conventional weapons delivered by their military, would the US consider that an act of war? How could it not?? King Trump has started a war.

This is some bleak shit. Historians literally outsourcing the creative and research process to a thieving algorithm ripping off the IP of their own fellow-historians. Says everything that they’re doing it from a Google office. Hacks. They should be ashamed. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/m...

So proud of my little town of Kent, Ohio. The scene of unimaginable government violence in 1970 when National Guard troops fired on students protesting the war in Vietnam killing four. Today far more people turned out for No Kings than I ever expected! Well done, Kent!!

Been going down a Sly and the Family Stone rabbit hole since I learned yesterday that Sly Stone has passed away. The band was both multiracial and had male and female musicians (not just background singers) - a rare thing indeed in the late 60s. music.youtube.com/watch?v=TU02...
