The next year's headliners were Radiohead, Beyonce and Kendrick Lamar, I suppose Coachella learned their lesson.

The makers of “Call of Duty” were once pressured to make a game about Iran attacking Israel. @yelmjouie breaks down how video games don't just reflect war – they can shape how we see it.

Who could’ve expected this other than every single human being who understands how cause and effect works?
Ben Norton@BenjaminNorton
Bloomberg acknowledges that the US war on Iran is backfiring, undermining the petrodollar system that gives the US empire so much power. Gulf regimes are exporting significantly less oil, and they're not reinvesting those petrodollars in US assets. Meanwhile, many foreign central banks have been selling US Treasury securities (US government debt) to prevent their currencies from depreciating, leading to US bond yields rising markedly -- not falling, as they typically did in past crises, when investors engaged in a "flight to safety". The US financial sector is losing its perception of having "safe haven" status. This means that both key aspects of the petrodollar system are breaking: there are fewer oil exports in dollars (Iran wants oil to be traded in Chinese yuan), and there are fewer petrodollars recycled into US financial assets.

my big problem with the official rescue narrative is it would have to mean that trump cared about someone else's life enough to spend that many resources

Wow it’s almost like there was a deeply engaged protest movement by college students 2yrs ago that was the largest in 50yrs and the publication you work for—along with every other major outlet—smeared them as antisemites, then they were all systematically kicked out of school.
Thomas Chatterton Williams@thomaschattwill
A lot of the problems in the world right now can be explained by this video. For one thing, it’s a big reason why the US government is so unaccountable to public opinion. These are *college students.* A significant amount of the country is totally checked out and comfortable enough not to think it matters.

Here’s another complaint from “The Free Press” that a hotel had power while a hospital lost power in Cuba. In case The Free Press is merely ignorant and not actively lying to their audience, I’d remind them that the Trump administration changed its rules so private businesses (like the American-owned hotels that Americans are required to stay in) are allowed to buy imported oil but the government (which means all hospitals) is not allowed to import oil.
So now that The Free Press is aware of this fact — and rightly thinks it is wrong to deprive a hospital of fuel — I’m sure they will amend this piece and join the rest of the civilized world in demanding Trump end this illegal oil blockade.
Right? That’s what they’ll do won’t they?

Reporter: You listed a long list of grievances against the Iranian government going back to 1979. Why is it that you can't say what the imminent threat against the US was that required us to launch this? Leavitt: I reject the premise of your question.
