An American attack on Iran is now likely. “President Trump told senior aides late Tuesday that he approved of attack plans for Iran, but was holding off to see if Tehran would abandon its nuclear program, people familiar with the deliberations said.” www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

"Two... defense officials... were briefed that perhaps only a tactical nuclear weapon could be capable of destroying Fordow because of how deeply it is buried. "Trump is not considering using a tactical nuclear weapon on Fordow."

It is impossible for most Westerners and indeed even most Mideasterners to keep track of everything the Israelis do on a day by day basis, but it cannot go unsaid that what Israel is doing in southwest Syria is extremely alarming and indicative of an intent to stay there permanently.

Telegram billionaire founder and Chief Executive Officer Pavel Durov plans to leave his vast fortune to the more than 100 children he’s fathered, according to an interview with France’s Le Point magazine

Bad movie, but very underrated Padme quote.

Some Fox News hosts desperately need to reread their Constitution, Art. I, sec. 8. And also quit being racist xenophobes.

This is why we keep getting inane “bluesky is dying” articles. Grifters like this think the only reason a social network could exist is for people to squeeze money and clout out of it. “If I’m unpopular on a website it must be the algorithm!” {insert It’s the Kids who are Wrong meme here}

Fun Factor, which reviews gaming magazines from the 90's/00's has become one of my new favorite podcasts/youtube shows. Highly recommend the Youtube feed which has scans of the original magazine pages as they discuss them. One comment on this episode re: Jumping Flash 2

Also: this kind of stuff is why you can't just fucking use an LLM to do research for you. There is no easy way around rolling up your sleeves and doing original research.

I genuinely think the role of Meta specifically in driving loneliness is underrated. Facebook replaced existing ways of keeping up with friends with what was briefly a great product, then destroyed that product.

On this theme, read this excellent short piece by @dassakaye.bsky.social for @justsecurity.org www.justsecurity.org/114719/israe...

any story on Israel saying Iran can never get the bomb should mention that Israel is itself a rogue nuclear state.

Man. Political scientists don’t fucking know these days either.

Thread.

Good lord.
