WASHINGTON, 02 MAR - Il primo ministro israeliano Benjamin Netanyahu ha dichiarato che l'Iran stava costruendo nuovi siti per armi nucleari che sarebbero stati impossibili da attaccare nel giro di pochi mesi, rendendo urgente l'attacco al Paese.
"Il motivo per cui abbiamo dovuto agire ora è che, dopo aver colpito i loro siti nucleari e il loro programma di missili balistici, ci si aspettava che avrebbero imparato la lezione, ma non l'hanno fatto. (ANSA)
1/2 MS NOW: Ex-CIA Director: Trump’s war with Iran already resulting in ‘tragic, senseless, needless loss of life
Brennan: “This is such a tragic, senseless and needless loss of life that we're seeing right now. I think the administration is now making things up in order to try to justify what was happening.

On the next Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000 livestream, we’ll be keeping our feet firmly on the ground on the best planet as Dr. Adam Becker joins me and @alex to discuss flimsy fantasies of data centers in space:
So turns out the top two telescope manufacturers I would go to (Meade and Orion) both went under in 2024, but they are both good quality manufacturers if you can find any listed for sale used.
The length spec is the diameter of the primary mirror, which is the primary determiner of both light gathering ability and the ability to see small/faint details in things. 150-200mm is big enough to show a lot even from the city, but small enough to be readily movable.
"Dobsonian" = style of telescope that sits in a boxy base directly on the ground (or on a table for some smaller models). These are inexpensive to manufacture compared to ones that need a heavy tripod or pier to be stable, so they give you more bang for the buck (or other appropriate local currency). The only consideration here is that in the "starter" (or even a bit beyond "starter") range, Dobsonians are purely manual -- you can't track things in the sky automatically with them, so they're not very useful for imaging. But keep in mind that imaging is very much its own hobby with its own rules and is well outside the "starter telescope" category.
Discover the vast secrets of the celestial sphere with the Apertura AD6 Dobsonian 6-inch telescope, a novice-friendly instrument perfectly suited for studying the lunar landscape, neighboring planets, and brilliant deep sky objects.
something that can be a "gotcha" - make sure you get a good mount. Telescopes magnify things, including the vibrations from touch and wind. A solid mount makes a huge difference. It's often worth getting a smaller scope (say 6" rather than 8") on a better mount. And decent eyepieces too. Start with a 25mm, and see how it goes (literally 😜)

Stati Uniti e Israele sostengono che il regime degli ayatollah - che non fa mistero del suo obiettivo di distruggere lo Stato ebraico - fosse a un passo dalla creazione di armi nucleari. Allo stesso tempo, Israele stesso è considerato una potenza nucleare.

Remember when I said that there's a hard limit to what #Trump can do to Venezuela because no way will even #MAGA go for a new ground war? It's just as true as he flails and tries to have a war in #Iran.
If you can't see the link, it's a huge compilation of hardcore MAGAs turning on Trump over the prospect of another ground war. This ain't 2003.
If you can see this, be forewarned, these are still not good people and they still say ugly shit too.
You can bet your ass that MAGA Congress critters are hoping Trump just dies and gets them out of impeaching him, but he's going down one way or the other.
Months ago I said there was going to be bipartisan support for impeachment, and all those doomer pundits who whiffed on it can kiss my entire butt.
The economy hasn't even gone bad like it's going to and MAGA is already going ape shit. The downfall of the grifter class MAGAs will be spectacular.
Every time I mosey over to xcancel and watch these MAGA meltdowns, with people like Erika Kirk and Candace Owens fighting each other, it's really rough. These are still Nazis and they fling around all kinds of hate and tinfoil hat stuff. But the MAGA infighting and epiphanies are very much what the whole world needs.

First world problems: I finally got an appointment with a pain specialist who writes prescriptions instead of suggesting massage for autoimmune arthritis. Hooray! He practices out of a major medical complex that includes a hospital. I just got an email telling me that I was going to owe a $325 Hospital Fee. This is not the doctor's fee, this isn't for any testing, this is a fee for parking in the same area as a hospital.
What. And I do not say this lightly; The Actual FUCK?
If I'm out sick for three days, my employer requires a doctor's note. When I get one from the local walk-in clinic, they send me a bill for $200. That's right, $200 for a goddamned piece of paper!

U.S. app uninstalls of ChatGPT’s mobile app jumped 295% day-over-day on Saturday, February 28, as consumers responded to the news of OpenAI’s deal with the Department of Defense(DoD)
Meanwhile, U.S. downloads for OpenAI competitor Anthropic’s Claude jumped up by 37% day-over-day on Friday, February 27, and 51% as of Saturday, February 28, after the company announced that it would not partner with the U.S. defense department.
Anthropic said it was not able to agree on the deal terms over concerns that AI would be used to surveil Americans and be used in fully autonomous weaponry, which AI is not yet ready to do safely. techcrunch.com/2026/03/02/chat…
If it is all one big fight, and if everything is interconnected in this system of oppression, the good news is that anywhere you are (we are) is a front line in the fight.
If it is all one big fight, and if everything is interconnected in this system of oppression, the good news is that anywhere you are (we are) is a front line in the fight. Every thing you do (we do) matters in fighting this fell, crushing beast, especially if you found yourself born into its belly.
Meet your neighbors. Talk to folk at the bus stop. Connect with others at hobbies and be invested in their lives. Get phone numbers so you can call them instead of calling the cops. Cook with larger portions to spare someone else cooking a meal. Let them help you navigate paperwork. Or vice versa.
Thinking about the whole awful thing is demoralizing, but that’s exactly what your enemy wants of you: for you to be paralyzed with worry and anxiety that achieves nothing but your stress and exhaustion.
The Revolution™ is not some eschatological event up ahead. It is now. It is right now.
If you are an anarchist, you believe in a unity of means and ends. What you do now is critical to what comes later.
One thing you might try to tell yourself to recenter your feelings each day is, “How can I be a good ancestor?“
You may not live to see it, but there will be future generations, and they will have given anything to fight these bastards here and now like you have the opportunity to. You have so much that you can do. You have so much time still to be a good ancestor. That’s a blessing.
Get involved in prisoner-writing, or reading former and still-incarcerated people who had incredibly limited agency and still had to figure out how to go on. Apply that to your own situations, learning from conversations with people who have a huge body of knowledge and experience to pass along.
A project of abolitionist Josh Davidson and political prisoner Eric King, this book is filled with the experience and wisdom of over thirty current and former North American political prisoners.
If you’re not already, get in community with disabled activists and those with degenerative or terminal illnesses. They also have a lot of expertise, and have opportunities to provide and learn about mutual aid or actions beyond, “Let’s overthrow the government!” Harm reduction is not a liberal euphemism to get you to vote (for Democrats); harm reduction is a philosophical orientation that it’s critical we all learn about because it is the only antidote to doomerism worth anything. queersatanic.com/vote-or-dont-…
Even when your degenerative disease will kill you, you have agency over medication, diet, and exercise that determine how many days you have and how they can be experienced. So what can you can do? Will you do it anyway?

Pete Hegseth said this. Out loud. And then put a transcript of what he said up on a site called war.gov
