Fascism And Its Discontents

our human condition......

been alive 41 years and not once has my mother ever been exclusively interested in, asked about, or be concerned with NASA & space travel, but this morning we've determined the sudden exploration of science

@WajahatAli confident this is beinghandled by profesionals - who aren't about to inform him, he'd just tweet it out to the IRGC.....

What is Trump doing to bring back or find the US pilot?

@ItsTheEnforcer so, you are posting unverified info, correct?

I want to emphasize that this is a preliminary report. We are not able to independently verify which system was provided to Iran — right now it’s based on third-party information. We await further confirmation.

@ItsTheEnforcer "heavy" losses? 2 planes - helos - not USAF btw - obvs not hit by missiles.... define "heavy"

🚨BREAKING: Iran claims it received a new advanced air defense system and deployed it on Friday. It’s believed to be the cause of heavy USAF losses over the last 24hrs. Current preliminary assessments indicate it’s likely a Russian-made S-500 Prometheus.

@thenewarea51 @theATCapp @LadyAstroJet birthright citizenship?

Caribbean Airlines passenger gives birth while landing at JFK this morning. Kennedy air traffic controller says that she has to name the baby Kennedy! 🤣 Audio via @theATCapp

@ElmoisSteelRain @hissgoescobra feel free to look at a topographic map of SW Iran. report back.

@InBrokenCountry @hissgoescobra you’re so fucking retarded 😂😂 wait are you trying to seem like you know??

It’s been approximately 26-30 hours since the second F15E crew member was reported shot down. Water supplies start to become a concern. It is a high-altitude environment that will tax one’s body pretty hard. Hoping for the best

@latestinspace Men will blame it on the damn lady plumber.

@interiortherapy KM Apothecary is a well-known bot on Bluesky. buena suerte.

There is speculation that Donald’s at Walter Reed: Road closed around hospital. Early (3-4a), social media posts abt this. Source: KM Apothecary on Bluesky.

@EdwardGLuce btw John Bolton is the 💯% exemplar of this lunacy.....

This site’s awash with idiots who cheerled the Iraq war, didn’t learn a thing from that fiasco, and are now squaring their idiocy by doing the same with Trump and Iran. Thought about expressing this more politely but there’s no point in euphemism. America is deservedly alone.

@EdwardGLuce well Yay we have Israel on our side! 🙄

@theliamnissan quit fear mongering, you're better than this nonsense....

He's gonna use nukes. We have to stop him. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

@tonyannett as was Biden.

Prediction: none of these three will be the next president.

@BruceBartlett obvious answer: American exceptionalism! 🙄

Many Americans are convinced that the US Government has secret information about UFOs that it has been refusing to release for decades. But if aliens are vising the earth, wouldn't other countries also have evidence? Why haven't they released it?

@ianbremmer But, but people like @shashj insist this (cough) 'crowd sourced wisdom' (un-cough) is great stuff. - Note: Polymarket and Kalshi do not traffic in 'wisdom'. rather, statistically meaningless rando dude on internet hunches & wishes.

under no circumstance is this something american citizens should be placing bets on.

@AndyKimNJ or her, Senator.

As we wake up this weekend let’s remember that there is an American servicemember who might have survived a jet crash and spent all night alone hiding from Iranian forces searching for him. We must do all we can to rescue him.

@ianbremmer 'Glory be to GOD!' a particularly unctuous touch from this hellish individual....

if you’re counting, president trump with third unilateral 48 hour ultimatum to iranian govt that refuses to negotiate or reopen strait.

@shashj @AdHaque110 If the Iranians are smart - no reason to believe otherwise tbh, IF they capture this U.S. airman he or she will be treated very well, if only for international PR value....

@AdHaque110 I don't think our head is wobbling at all. We give the history. The issue here is how it affects the narrative, an important part of war, and how Trump might respond. As for the Geneva conventions, I am not Iran's adherence to these with captives has always been top notch.

Prisoners of war are a normal part of international armed conflict. Their legal protection is exhaustively detailed in the Geneva Conventions. Everyone needs to keep their heads on straight.
