Who could have possibly known that if you take out the supreme leader of Iran, there is a system to substitute and eventually replace that figure, and that ultimately it would have zero effect on Iranian policies or global outlook? WHO HAD SUCH KNOWLEDGE???
NEW: Trump reportedly seeking swift end to Iran operation after realizing regime will not fall within the envisioned 4-5 day initial military plan, US officials proposed immediate ceasefire through an intermediary that Iran rejected outright. -Ynet

The dude was 86. We bombed and killed him and many civilians including children to what will be shown to have no effect. We coulda just waited until he caught the flu.. And now we’re in another war in the Middle East. Typical Republican global initiative.

Nightmare fuel.
A 65-year-old man died after slipping off the edge of the Grand Canyon and falling more than 100 feet, authorities in Arizona said. abcnews.link/ExalXsJ

I don’t always give presentations on or around Halloween. But when I do, I try to keep it at least a little bit professional.

As a Memphian born and raised, this is incredibly disheartening. The National Guard has been deployed in Memphis a few times in the past, recently related to 2020 George Floyd protests that actually brought the city together. One time in the past is at the forefront of my mind.
Tennessee National Guard units will mobilize in Memphis on Friday as President Donald Trump's administration turns to states' citizen-soldiers as an anti-crime measure in some of the nation's biggest cities. abcnews.link/xlfkxih

And that’s the 1968 Sanitation Strike that brought the whole Civil Rights Movement together. It was during those protests in that hostile climate when MLK Jr. was assassinated at the Lorraine Motel. It was a *frequent* grade school field trip location for me.

Holy SAT word, Batman!
Replying to @brianstelter
The judge said Trump's legal team can refile in the next four weeks, but must keep the complaint to 40 pages or fewer. A complaint is not supposed to be "a public forum for vituperation and invective" or "a megaphone for public relations," he wrote. cnn.com/2025/09/19/media/tru…

It’ll also lead to confusion from hepatic encephalopathy.
Doctors and advocates told @ABC News that the hepatitis B birth dose is still an essential recommendation and delaying it may lead to gaps in insurance coverage, growing health disparities, confusion and an increase in preventable hepatitis B infections. abcnews.link/rFyjanG

I hate when shit like this happens. No sympathy from me and not gonna shed a tear. But it does nothing to further the cause for those of us that oppose everything that Kirk stood for.

Two men caught an estimated 700-pound shark off the Connecticut coast, potentially breaking the state's record, one of the fishermen told ABC News. abcnews.link/o01Boaj

It kinda sucks that everyone is just stupid now
Clouds just seem to hover and grow out of nowhere lately.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The first question answered in an "Introduction to Climatology" college course* is: why does it rain? Rain happens because the sun warms the air and warm air rises where it then cools forming clouds that rain. Tropical seas are warm. *also in elementary school: ck12.org/flexi/earth-sc….

People commenting on this have no idea how medical training is actually implemented.
Some hospitals in the U.S. are without essential staff because international medical residents set to start their training this week were delayed by the Trump administration’s travel and visa restrictions. abcnews.link/QDXBZOS

I fucking loath this country tbqh. There was a period where I was an idealist, thought the American Experiment was providing us challenges that we would surely overcome with the first Trump term. We answered that four years later with Biden as the response.

The cruelty is the point.
The Trump admin is ending the LGBTQ+-specific national suicide and crisis hotline known as the “Press 3" option. The Trevor Project, a leading LGBTQ+ advocacy group, warned that the decision could have grave consequences. politico.com/news/2025/06/18…
