Your bait of falsehood takes this carp of truth; And thus do we of wisdom and of reach, With windlasses and with assays of bias, By indirections find directions out.
Could be, but also not hard to believe that this is real blowback from someone who has been affected by the war, or someone who hasn’t but is steeped in the American culture of violence. I don’t know this particular incident well, but in any case I don’t think a reflexive discount of any terror attack as a false flag is good analysis.
Even among the government as distinct from the country as a whole, there’s a lot more to the government of the iranian republic than the military and the IRGC. government staff run hospitals, police stations, oil and gas infrastructure, municipal infrastructure, all of which have been targeted. any work or rebuilding of this kind of thing will be competing with the arguably more critical demands of building/earthmoving/material supply for constructing/repairing missile cities, bunkers, antiair systems, launchers.
even minority inconvenienced in far more two months.
I don’t disagree that 2 months of ‘holding out’ is virtually guaranteed, but I think it’s disrespectful to Iranians, especially the civilian population, to describe the current bombardment and state of war as being less than a minor inconvenience. It is a minor inconvenience for those of us in the imperial core who will have to pay more for gasoline and consumer goods. For the couple thousand Iranians already killed and the probably ten times more injured, as well as the future cancers in people who have lived through the ecological disaster of uncontrolled oil fires, this is already deadly serious.
I believe this story is only marginally relevant for the newsmega, but it is of the times enough that sharing is warranted.
Meta buys ‘social media network for AI’ Moltbook
Meta, the owner of Instagram and Facebook, has bought Moltbook, a social media networking platform for artificial intelligence (AI) bots to speak to each other.
The Reddit-like site started as an experiment in January for AI-powered programs to have their own conversations - and even gossip about their human owners - on Moltbook’s forums.
Moltbook was created using a tool called OpenClaw, an AI agent that acts as a personal digital assistant on a user’s computer to carry out tasks like writing emails, managing appointments and building apps.
Phosphate is also important but it’s a different type of fertilizer than ammonia/urea based fertilizers. Plants need NPK as their macronutrients - nitrogen (N) , phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). Most fertilizers applied at farms are blends of these in different ratios. Urea is the main N fertilizer that is relevant to this conflict because it is made through the Haber Bosch process, in which methane/natural gas/LNG provides the hydrogen and energy source, and nitrogen from the atmosphere react to make ammonia NH3, which is then converted into urea. Phosphate mines, as the name suggests, produce phosphate chemicals, different variations of P2O5 and PO4. All of NPK are important to plants and one can’t replace the others, like the way people can’t just eat carbs, just protein or just fat.
Indirectly phosphate producers like morroco might become a bit more important because agribusiness is watching world urea supply dry up and wondering if the same could happen to phosphate, but really they’re independent and both important.
Libs don’t care about Mexican Cártel learning drone warfare from Ukraine.
Do you have any links about that? Makes sense but I’m curious who is reporting or writing about it.
yeah 100%. I think also, leftwing spaces have more people that are getting marginalized in real life, so tone policing and purity politics on the internet is a way to exercise some level of control in their lives.
Yes likewise. The awful burying of radioactive waste in palestine was also new to me.
Nakedcapitalism.com has a great article on the history of Israeli nuclear weapons, current status/delivery methods, and new horrors against those the Zionists deem untermensch. Recommended reading in full

I’m not sure why the url is called that, but if they do correct it, the article is called “Armageddon Now! Israel’s Nuclear Weapons Program” by Kevin Kirk
Idlout says she was not promised anything in return from Prime Minister Mark Carney, and said she won’t be accompanying him on his upcoming trip to Norway and the United Kingdom.
Come the fuck on
I did a couple days ago and more today. I’m always full of beans but now my pantry is too
Its carob’s time to shine 
I remember this story from the Irish potato famine. Then, even with the blight, Ireland produced enough food for the population, but British landlords forced export of food as cash crops and a million people starved.
Somewhere in a forgotten attic there is a portrait getting drier and drier.
The Persian gulf was already ecologically stressed, but by the time the smoke clears on this conflict and however many tankers have leaked their contents into the sea, it will be a dead zone.
One advantage of the closer cultural ties between Iran and the west through the shah years and through the big diaspora population is that their news releases are so much fucking better than Russia and China’s.
