“A book, too, can be a star, “explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,” a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.” ― Madeleine L'Engle, Newbery Award Acceptance Speech: The Expanding Universe (August 1963) (Cr. NASA)

Serious question. Why do people 50+ wake up like at 5 a.m.?

@Berisha901 @SoggyBiscuitBri @EvanWritesOnX This text to God’s ears. 🙏

@EvanWritesOnX Timeline going forward: May 2026: The War resumes. September 2026: US fully withdraws from the region and abandons Israel. October 2026: Netanyahu wins the election. April 2027: Israel ends. May 2028: Palestine is reunified into one country.

Israel may have won the narrative with Iran. But it lost total control over the new shape of the Middle East. On the surface, Israel scored a major victory. Its strikes damaged Iranian missile production, hit nuclear sites at Natanz and Fordow, and forced Iran to negotiate. Netanyahu has sold this outcome at home as the greatest strategic triumph in Israeli history. The reality is, Iran walked out with its institutions intact, a new leadership line in place, and its pragmatist faction newly empowered. The "war" gave Iran cover to shed an expensive proxy network while keeping its core power untouched. Israel, meanwhile, has moved from an independent regional actor to a more dependent player inside a Gulf-mediated order shaped by the US. Every major player needed the conflict for cover. Iran needed an exit from its proxies. The Gulf states needed to lock in their role as the region’s new center of gravity. America needed to reduce its Middle East footprint without losing face. And Netanyahu needed a big victory narrative to carry him out of office on his own terms before domestic troubles caught up. That pressure is now building at home. Far-right ministers, once key to the coalition, have become liabilities in the new framework. Elections must be held by October 2026. Markets are sending the signal that things are settling back to normal. Capital is seeing a managed transition. There's going to be a coalition fracture or early elections on the horizon. Either path will lead to a more centrist government aligned with the new Gulf-led reality. Netanyahu will step into legacy status while the far right is pushed aside. Israel's national interest will begin to accelerate on the erosion path, until nothing is left but it's raw colonial form. Palestine is emerging.

@maggistratus I thought the same ♥️

Quite possibly the most Oklahoma post of all time

@SWPAnnA @ronsterd89 Sue is the correct answer.

@ronsterd89 I was just thinking, is anyone else noticing that ain’t a girl. But call him Sue, that’ll totally make him friendly

I need a sweet female name for my cat.

@SocialistMMA I have no regrets.

Democrats are so delusional thinking people regret not voting for Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris is the only person who can win the election in 2028. Do you agree with me?

A father playing and making duet on The Beatles' Don't Let Me Down with his child might be the best video you'll watch today.

@SocialistMMA Its a uniparty, and the system is working as designed if this is all you can think of to discuss.

People saying they’d vote third party if Gavin Newsom is the nominee just shows how deeply unserious the United States left is You don’t support third parties based on a whim or temper tantrum. Building new parties is essential for long term organizing and resistance against the corrupt capitalist system, not just something you do when the capitalists wont let you in the club

Breaking news and informative conversation.

@peterdaou Agreed. And people are too gullible to see it.

Genocidal war criminals Joe Biden and Kamala Harris set the table for every one of Trump's transgressions. They rigged their primary, crushed protests, ran horrible campaigns, and elected him. Enough of this bullshit liberal revisionism. Dems brought us here. Period.

guys we were all there when this photo was taken it’s kinda like a group photo if you think about it

82-year-old Frank Watkinson performing a lovely acoustic version of Radiohead's "Creep."

The shots from my remote cameras are absolutely unreal. Hopefully will have something mind-blowing to share tomorrow :)

Marvelous. Simply stunning music and dancing. They're looking so happy. Dancing on the foggy hill with your friends. That's what I call living life.

Good interview and discussion.

What are they arguing about? 😅
