Did YOU want to watch CCTV's AI Martial Arts cartoon about the Straits of Hormuz crisis? Complete with fighting Persian Cats? Well I subtitled it for you so you can enjoy it in all its trope-laden glory! Remember kids, the mountains will stay standing while the green water flows, and the true art of war is not figuring out how to fight, but how to stop!🥷😼🦅

Chinese state media made an AI-generated cartoon about the US-Iran conflict. Extremely well done!

Asked why he didn't coordinate with allies before going to war with Iran, Trump says, "We didn't tell anyone about it. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor, OK?"

Striking that support from AIPAC has yet to become a serious political liability within the Democratic Party during an unpopular war, at least in Illinois.

Andrew Yang is calling it "The Fuckening." That's his actual word for it. And honestly it fits.
A CEO of a publicly traded tech company told him directly: "We're firing 15% now. Another 20% in two years. Another 20% after that."
There are 70 million white collar workers in this country. Yang projects 20 to 50% of those jobs gone within a few years. The low end of that is 14 million people. The entire 2008 crisis wiped out 8.7 million.
The difference this time is the jobs don't come back. A recession ends and companies rehire. This time the work still gets done. It just gets done by software. The position itself stops existing.
Nothing expands margins like replacing a $379K employee with a $200/month subscription.
We track it all at layoffhedge.com. 58 companies. 254,000 people. And climbing.
Yang is writing about what's coming. We're counting what's already here.

Gabbard seems to be defending the process, not the conclusion itself. She frames this as a subjective presidential judgment rather than a finding the evidence supports. She makes no claim that the intel corroborated the conclusion, or that the DNI’s own assessment agreed with it.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard@DNIGabbard
Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our President and Commander in Chief. As our Commander in Chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops, the American people and our country. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the President and Commander in Chief with the best information available to inform his decisions. After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat and he took action based on that conclusion.

*Indo-Pacific* humpback dolphins (a.k.a. Chinese white dolphins). 😏
Malay Mail@malaymail
A pod of dolphins was spotted off Port Klang, and one of them stole the show, a rare pink dolphin! 🐬 Pink dolphins, also called Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, usually stick to quieter coastal waters, so seeing one this close to a busy port is a rare treat.
