long security lines

Gosh. What other kind of solution could there be if there aren't workers for the "security" system that's literally never demonstrably stopped or prevented a single act of terrorism?

They missed the memo that they shouldn't televise the part that'll piss off the Christian zionists who are paying the bills.

Like, you can kill all the poor, Christian Arabs you like, but don't deface the Jeebus icon in the public square.

How the fuck does "we still haven't heard anything" qualify as "BREAKING"?

Seems like it's much harder to anti-shoot at things than to shoot at them.

1. Trust your masters, give them everything you have, and expect noting in return.
2. Oboy reinstatement of the military draft.
3. Something, something, make a profit from the state (capitalists over politicians, of course).

An absolutely shocking reveal. LOL.

Pretty good interview about the zionist war crimes and failures in Lebanon.

I hate application of the term "intelligent" to everything. And "zero noise" is also false. But being pure electric is fucking awesome. At some point, I'm sure that shipping containers will come with built-in wiring and photovoltaic roofs so those on trucks and at the top of the stack on container ships can be used to recharge the batteries.

I think it becomes much more addictive when you're out of shape & stressed

That's what I refer to above as psychological addiction. Many, many things can become addictive under those stresses. Including things like television, video games, and even dieting and exercise (the "addiction" there being people insisting on doing it even when it is detrimental, such as causing malnutrition, exacerbating injuries, and getting in the way of one's social relations).

can we agree pain relief without cognitive impairment is worthwhile?

Absolutely. I wasn't claiming everything about this was propaganda; just the "non-addictive" framing.

Scott Ritter thinks Iran holds all the cards, the U.S. has completely lost, the negotiations continue despite Trump and Vance's performative blustering, NATO is dissolving...but Iran will (understandably) de-escalate and integrate into the global, capitalist market infrastructure despite Israel's continued occupation of Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon, and China will remain vulnerable to the petrodollar despite having far superior manufacturing capabilities.

(Content warning: Scott Ritter: military-brained conservative liberal.)

‘should be ending pretty soon’, says Trump.

Well, there go the next 5 years (minimum).

Sure. That's true among rational, well-informed people who haven't been spoon-fed pure imperialist propaganda since birth....
