El-Sayed gives great response to FP idiot, while @hasanthehun makes for an excellent Luther, Obama’s Anger Translator

Part Two of my massive, wild, arguably pointless, undertaking: *The* 250 Rock & Roll & Folk Albums of the 21st Century (So Far). It’s time to get into the fallow years, baby! zacharylipez.ghost.io/the-250-rock-a…

@SloanRachmuth Are you okay?

I want this bitch airdropped into Southern Lebanon in the worst way.

@savior_cinco @academic_la sometimes evil plans are also really stupid ones - take the L.

@academic_la Isn't the long-term plan to have Arab leaders, like the one in Syria, attack neighboring Arab states, and dominate the region that way?

The IDF Chief of Staff has warned that the IDF is on the verge of collapse after 900 straight days of war. This is what he told the government yesterday: 1) Reservists are being stretched to a breaking point across multiple active fronts simultaneously: Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank, and the Iranian front 2) No ultra-Orthodox conscription law has been passed, leaving thousands exempt from service in practice 3) The cabinet approved the legalization of dozens more outposts and farms in the West Bank, requiring additional troops to protect them 4) Jewish nationalist terrorism is surging in the West Bank, requiring an additional battalion to be deployed there, with possibly another needed soon 5) Mandatory service is set to shorten to 30 months in January 2027, the opposite of the IDF's request to extend it to 36 months 6) The government is avoiding passing the necessary laws (conscription, reserves, extended service) largely due to political pressures related to the Haredi exemption controversy The expansionist policies of the government are straining the army to the point of no return. The IDF cannot carry this load and will "collapse into itself" according to the Chief of Staff soon if the wars of expansion do not stop. Israel is simply not big enough and not rich enough to dominate the Middle East in the long-term.

@Opiegrl @academic_la or, maybe, no wars? Just a thought to add to the pile.

@academic_la Maybe one war at a time would have been a better strategy? 🙄😡

Eid Mubarak 🌙 to all who celebrate and Happy Nowruz 🌿 to those welcoming the Spring equinox New Year! Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz fall on the same day rarely (about every 33 years). One follows the moon cycle, the other follows the sun and sometimes, they meet.

He’s back!! Tune in drop by freak out !! 💕❤️💕❤️

“The Afghan film-maker Shahrbanoo Sadat is a warm and approachable presence as writer, director and star of No Good Men – a tale of Afghanistan’s women in 2021 as they are about to be surrendered to the Taliban with the withdrawal of US troops.” theguardian.com/film/2026/feb/…

Upcoming Daughn Gibson is a doozy. Should it be neglected, I probably won’t be as upset as Kristin. But I won’t be happy about it either.

Never let it be said I haven’t earned my on-the-list-plus-ones. Here are 50 Albums of 2025! zacharylipez.ghost.io/playing-my-par…

Did you know American musician Lloyd Miller fell so deeply in love with Afghan music in the 1970’s that he brought it back to the U.S. and taught it to students at University of Utah? He called jazz + Afghan music “soul siblings”.Watch full episode here: youtu.be/R15dE4tfwMo?si…

Ola, from the incredible hardcore band GAME and punk label Quality Control, has been in prison for one year, awaiting trial as one of the Filton 24. She wrote a letter from prison to commemorate the date and, yes, she does throw in an Agnostic Front quote. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/11/palest…

USCIS may block green card interviews for people from 19 countries, even if they’ve lived legally in the U.S. for years. This isn’t a left/right issue, it’s about fairness and keeping our word. Every American citizen can speak up. Tell Congress to act: afghanevac.org/uscis-policy-a…
