One of the most vile and absurd things that has ever occurred in human history. You would have thought that the cost (literally millions of corpses) and the outcome (a resounding US defeat) would have reduction ad absurdum’ed wars form the sky but no.

Let's get @mcmansionhell's piece on Iranian architecture recirculating again.

Tough, but check this one out

“I have two versions of outlook and neither of them are working” is actually a generational NASA quote now. Not quite One Small Step but every generation lives in a different world

republicans genuinely think you are cattle designed to suffer for their glory

Is there a term for this

Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance. Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

Western institutions only figured this out once oil got expensive

Hey @nytimes, what is it called when you forcibly remove a specific ethnic or religious group from their land?

People who are into lolcows, especially Chris Chan, will in 100 years be looked upon the same way we look at the 18th century rural idiots who tortured bears to death and ripped the heads off geese for fun

This sort of interaction is useful to explain that ‘Gen Z feminism’ basically does not exist—there is no new feminist theory in dialogue with previous forms, because no one reads or writes more than posts. They call porn “a zionist degeneracy” because they absorb right wing content that blames The Jews for porn and promiscuity. At the same time, they claim to love Dworkin (who was a Zionist) because they’ve never read more than excerpts of her that got reposted on instagram or tumblr. It’s all the same thing: the ideologically incoherent consequence of being fed slop (including human-produced slop) that social media algorithms tune to deliver only that which validates your instincts and emotions. They call themselves feminists because they’ve internalized that’s a good thing to be, and because they’ve found a way to act out “feminism” that’s also like “hyper femininity” which they deeply want to express. It goes in with a constellation of other markers like coquettish aesthetics, chastity, melancholy, thinness, etc, as proof of their exquisite femininity. Their “feminism” is an exercise in personal branding, in negating Maleness as thoroughly as possible, as marking themselves Female as much as possible. That’s why it’s incoherent, because it’s a feminism fundamentally uninterested in the *liberation of women* but rather in the social position and aesthetic of individual women trying to embody their idealized form of gender roles. So it’s not really a theory of “feminism” in the sense of analysis and action concerned with the liberation of women from patriarchy. It’s just been reduced to individual aesthetic expression.

March 31 (Reuters) - Israel will destroy all homes in Lebanese villages near the border and 600,000 people who fled the south will not be allowed home until northern Israel is secure, the defence minister said on ‌Tuesday, vowing to inflict Gaza-like destruction in the area.

We wish this was an April Fools joke, but it's not. Winter is not done yet. Two wintry systems are expected later this week into this weekend. Here are a few graphics, and read more here: weather.gov/media/dlh/DssP…
