The image depicts a woman with long, flowing black hair, seen from the back, standing amidst a field of lotus flowers. Her skin is adorned with intricate red tattoos that cover her back and extend onto her arms. The tattoos feature swirling patterns and designs, reminiscent of traditional tribal art. The lotus flowers are predominantly blue with some brownish leaves, creating a contrast with the woman's skin and tattoos. The background shows a cloudy sky with a soft, muted color palette, enhancing the ethereal quality of the scene. The woman's hair cascades down her back, partially obscuring her tattoos and adding to the overall sense of movement in the image. The artist's signature, "WOLFKULL JAC," along with the year "2025," is visible in the bottom right corner.

You might be a narcissist (a normal one).

Normal #narcissism refers to a well-integrated sense of self, such as healthy pride in accomplishments. Pathological narcissism, on the other hand, describes extreme fluctuations between feelings of inferiority and failure with a sense of superiority and grandiosity.

Today my overly-optimistic cousin said "This is the absolute best time to be alive" and I said "Well, I would argue that 2024 was much better than right now..."

My response, "So yeah, World War III, but like, we'll still need to go to work, right?"

And because of Capitalism the answer is of course, yes.

#MahmoudKhalil on his #ICE #detention & return home

After 104 days in a Louisiana #immigration detention center, #ColumbiaUniversity graduate student Mahmoud Khalil has been released on bail.

Khalil, a #legal permanent resident married to a #UScitizen, has become the face of the #Trump admin's crackdown on #student #protesters opposing #Israel's war in #Gaza. He was the first of several students across the US who were detained & threatened w/ #deportation.

While other students were released from detention, the #Trump admin kept #MahmoudKhalil behind bars in Louisiana. During this time, he missed the birth of his first child. When he flew back to NJ over the weekend, Khalil was met w/cheers as he pumped his fist into the air.

Today he's reunited w/his family in NY. He spoke to Morning Edition host Leila Fadel about his #arrest, his time in #detention & why he believes the government targeted him for protesting #US support for the #war in #Gaza.

A week of escalating fear over Iranian missile attacks has sparked a series of violent incidents in public shelters across the Israeli-occupied territories, reflecting growing social tensions among settlers under duress.

In one of the most alarming incidents, an Israeli teenager discharged pepper spray inside a packed shelter in the Shapira neighborhood of Tel Aviv, injuring several individuals.

This is at the core of my depression.
For nearly all of human history, the majority of humans lived in what we today would call subsistence poverty. It was mostly unavoidable.
Sometime in the '60s we crossed over into being unequivocally able to feed everyone every year. People in the modern world only struggle to eat because of economic & political barriers designed to starve them. The world has worse famine problems right now than at any point in my lifetime.

The Internet was supposed to set the whole world free to communicate openly, promoting frictionless interactions, mutual understanding, & universality of opportunity. But it didn’t. It got us spam, fraud, abuse, and more sophisticated disinformation campaigns than were imaginable in 1990. It turned many "white collar" jobs into effectively 24x7 on-call serfdom. It’s making kids neurotic now, having originally been a refuge for many of us whose brains worked differently. 3/4

It’s all loaded with stupidity & active malice. We have garbage health care because of greedheads & racists joining forces. We have a failed peace process & failed states in the Levant because of a series of positively evil decisions by essentially all sides, who refuse to accept each others’ basic humanity. We have right now a de facto war with the world’s oldest nation because Trump hates Black people & Netanyahu hates every gentile except for Americans who want to put all Jews in 1 place 4/4


The Palestinian Center for Israeli Studies (Madar) explains that Israel chose the name “A Nation Like a Lion” for its war against Iran, which began at dawn on June 13, 2025. The phrase is a direct quote from the Book of Numbers in the Torah.

According to Madar, this naming reflects Israel’s deliberate use of biblical and religious symbols in modern warfare, aiming to sacralize its military operations.

The 'smart money' crowd have been clawing it back out of the US for decades. The only place for real bullion is a hole in the backyard.
