  • Iran Strikes Send VIP Dubai Influencers 'Back To Reality'

    "OMG!" Israeli wellness influencer Hofit Golan exclaims repeatedly in a video that shows a building near her apartment in flames.

    British content creator Will Bailey was updating his Instagram and TikTok followers by filming the trails of smoke left by missiles and interceptor rockets in Dubai's skyline.

    "That was metres away from us," he says in a video filmed near the Fairmont hotel, which was hit by a strike on Saturday.

    Other influencers were less composed, with France's Maeva Ghennam who, waving her passport around, told viewers she "screamed hysterically" when she heard a strike.

  • Being profitable so you can continue to exist does not mean you are motivated by profit.

    I mean... it definitely plays a large factor. The idea that these organizations aren't profit-maximizing is very different than claiming they're net negative or hobbyist endeavors.

    This is the same argument as “you hate capitalism but you participate in it.”

    "We live in a capitalist society and must play by its rules" is merely an observation of the status quo.

    I would more compare it to the complaint about a number of socialist states - China, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela - that wildly outperform their expectations despite flying in the face of Chicago School orthodoxy. "Well, but they're cheating!" is an allegation made regularly.

    Western AI data scrapping companies love to get mad at Chinese AI data scrapping companies for scrapping their data, for instance. American MIC love to bemoan foreign investment in cheap, efficient deterrents. American biotech companies are firmly committed to keeping anything developed in Cuba out of the hands of the American public.

  • She's not notable. Her staff and cabinet (as well as Obama's) are all over the files.

    Also, Ghislaine had front row seats to Chelsea's wedding.

  • Do not be dumb and try to start an argument, don’t accuse, don’t talk about identity or race or gender or any other issue they’re already distracted with.

  • Btw... all of the names released to date? We doing anything about any of them?

    Is Brett Ratner going to jail? No? He's making Rush Hour 4 now?

    How about Larry Summer? Woody Allen? Bill Clinton? Anybody??

  • What if I told you all of these ventures were profitable?

  • Crypto is a public ledger.

    It's an enormous maze of transitions between vaguely defined parties.

  • it’s exactly those actions that are creating ‘terrorists’

    Even this hasn't born out. We're not seeing waves of terrorism on US soil by foreigners or radicalized domestics.

    We're seeing police brutality by state officials aimed anyone who "looks like a terrorist", with some spycops bullshit to entrap a few useful idiots along the way.

    Perhaps I’d have a different opinion if America/Israel struck military targets;

    They're dismantling the ability of the Iranian state to defend it's sovereignty so they can bomb and assassinate locals with impunity.

    They're also randomly killing civilians, because these military strikes aren't as precise or informed as the leadership wants you to believe

  • Killing a bunch of kids, makes sure the other side won’t surrender.

    It's a genocide. We don't intend to let them surrender. We're going to keep killing long after Iran has been fully defanged

  • Stop. Posting. On. Reddit.

  • Another 30+ years of “terrorists”

    We were never going to hear the end of "Muslim Terrorist" rhetoric, because it was instrumental in justifying our dominion over the region.

    There isn't going to be another 9/11. We're well past the point of needing a causa belli for this kind of war. It'll just be ICE goons murdering parents in front of crying children and CNN talking heads explaining how we're safer because of it.

  • Gotta wonder how many Chuds will post "Iranians can wear bikinis again" before the bodies are even cold

  • The best part of this will be Democrats falling over themselves to support the war today, then insisting they're the only anti-war party on the ballot tomorrow.

  • Start broadcasting in Hebrew, I guess?

  • Oh cool, we're going to get real weird with it. Can't wait for another holiday to celebrate the mass slaying at an orphanage

  • Flip to what, though?
