Interesting note on this #oreshnik strike:#Ukraine got a heads up something big was happening from the AmericansIt's not spycraft, #Russia called the #USA and told them it was launching something bigWhy?An oreshnik, being a nuclear capable Mach 10 weapon whose target would be unknown at first, means the Americans would otherwise be on a hair trigger for their own nuclear responseWonderful world we live in, huh?https://ua.usembassy.gov/security-alert-u-s-embassy-kyiv-ukraine-january-8-2026/#UkraineWar

A recent scene in #IranWho has the #USA as #fascist #theocracy and Iran as burgeoning #democracy on their 2026 bingo card?(PS: that flag is the Lion and Sun Flag, the pre-1979 #revolution flag of Iran: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lion_and_Sun_flag )EDIT:because of angry trolls, i have to clarifythis is not the flag of the Shahthis flag also flew for Mohammad Mosaddegh, whom the CIA overthrew to install the Shah. read the Wikipedia link I postedthe flag is pre-Ayatollah, anti-Ayatollahnot pro-Shah

The #protesters are apparently burning a #mosque in #Iran that is used by the militaryAdditionally the #BBC is saying hospitals are inundated with protesters, dead, dying, injured"'There wasn't even time for CPR': Iran medics describe hospitals overwhelmed with dead and injured protesters"https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj9rengvnp9oThere is also images of government buildings on fireThe government cut the Internet so it's sketchy and obscured what is really going onViolence seems very high right now😬

@randahl reminds me of"I took out the ring and showed it to [Putin], and he put it on and he goes, 'I can kill someone with this ring,'" Kraft said in 2013. "I put my hand out and he put it in his pocket, and three KGB guys got around him and walked out."https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/heres-how-vladimir-putin-stole-a-super-bowl-ring-from-the-patriots-robert-kraft/

#AlexKarp, CEO of #Palantir:"Palantir is here to disrupt and make these various institutions we partner with the very best in the world, and when it's necessary, to scare our enemies, and on occasion, kill them"Our reality has become a bad #JamesBond movie plotAnd why do these #techbros always look like they're on drugs?#Techbro just gleefully talking murder. And it's presented cheerful and mundane. What a #dystopia we live in

@davidrevoy but i like Weird Al Yanovich(/s)try this:imagine every "AI" you see is "Al" and you can turn it into a game of "who is is Al everyone keeps talking about? he seems important, but I don't know this Al. Could it be Weird Al? Al Pacino? Al Green? Al Gore? ...Wait! It's Al Roker!"
