The US giving jihadist groups live video of a terrorist being (in their view) martyred is another in a long line of own goals in the war on terror It’s so sad how little we’ve learned 😑

There are no US forces in Iraq for the first time in two decades I need people to remember this when some folks say deploying troops to Iran or Yemen will be a six month op.
reuters.com
US forces exit Iraq after two decades, leaving opening for Iran
The departure is celebrated as a victory by Iran and its allies ​who now have deep influence in the country where 4,500 Americans died during more than two decades of war.

Trump is so desperate to distract people from his failures that he’s releasing videos of birds and calling them UFOs.

If you ever needed proof that projection is the defense mechanism of simpletons: MAGA constantly dismisses opponents as 'sheeple' while celebrating this groveling.

It's astonishing that the UAE hasn't found itself in more diplomatic trouble yet. Its reckless projects in MENA and ever closer ties to Israel were deemed mad conspiracies two decades ago and now its all in the open. I guess willing to throw money at everything is an effective shield.

I'm sure Germans who voted AfD while still intoxicated by victory can't be convinced they made a horrible mistake right now. But they should be reminded of Trump saying "Make Germany Great Again," in a couple weeks, and asked what period he might be referring to.

Two years ago, my first day at Zeteo, Netanyahu came to DC, where he slandered Americans. In response, their representatives all clapped like seals. It's seared into my memory. This week, Netanyahu bragged on live TV of how he manipulated Americans. On the void of self-respect we have in America:

First Draft: 🤔 Netanyahu Brags How U.S. Cable News Let Him ‘Influence’ America Into War With Iran
The prime minister told Israeli TV he manipulated the U.S. into a terrible conflict. Where’s the outrage? Plus, the far-right Supreme Court gives Trump a green light, kinda, to build his damn ballroom

Google Gemini about a recent change in Android settings. "It's ridiculously unintuitive to hide actual options inside a label right next to a toggle switch. designers definitely dropped the ball on that one." But hiding features isn't done by accident, it's the first step towards removing them

Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially

SAM NEILL

GENERAL JOHN MACARTHUR

If you were to commit a murder,

how would you do it?

It's got to be big! No slipping

something into someones drink, that's just

pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a

stain on the road. There's probably a couple

of people I'd put under a steamroller,

but I won't say who they are, otherwise

when they see a steamroller coming

their way they'll be on full alert. And

steamrollers don't go very fast...

I was in a used books store today and the customer in front of me offered to sell books by Jordan Peterson and David Icke, the owner politely passed but we made eye contact as I rolled my eyes. The moment he was out of the door we both burst out laughing. Still, good on him trying to dump the crap.

In the grand scheme of things it's an irrelevance, but Trump boasting that his renovation of the Lincoln memorial reflecting pool "will last 50 to a 100 years before you have to do anything" when the surface is already peeling off is the perfect metaphor for Trumpism. It's conmen all the way down.

When the Obama administration signed the JCPOA, Trump immediately declared it to be the worst deal in history, all he needed to draw this conclusion was that Obama received credit for it. By the same token, this is a great deal because Trump's name is on it. It's that horrifyingly simple.

ChatGPT first gives a wrong answer to my question, then completely ignores the follow up and instead answers the prior question, this time correctly but without acknowledging the error or why it disregars the current question. It's like dealing with a liar who hopes you aren't paying attention.
ChatGPT log: 
Has the director Guillermo del Toro made any comments in interviews about Bernie Wrightson?

I didn't find any public comments from Guillermo del Toro about Bernie Wrightson in interviews. While del Toro is directing a Frankenstein film for Netflix, there was no mention of Wrightson's illustrations or influence in what found.

Are there any other books illustrated by Bernie Wrightson that are mostly known as classic literature?

Guillermo del Toro has publicly acknowledged Bernie Wrightson's influence on his 2025 Frankenstein film. In interviews, del Toro specifically cited Wrightson's 1983 illustrated edition of Frankenstein as a major visual inspiration. He even expressed a wish that Wrightson would have designed the creature for the movie.

UFC is baby gladiator games. The audience wants to see people bash each other's heads in but can't stomach the thought of encouraging people inflicting permanent damage. So a handful of rules grants that deniability while the brain trauma is hushed up. In that sense, sure, "intrinsically American"

Trump has said that he will never fall off a bicycle because he will never ride one, while of course mocking those that do, like Biden. And yet, he or those in his entourage also want to claim the imagery of bicycles for MAGA. I suppose it's the conservative hallmark of "do as I say, not as I do"
