100 little girls were murdered shut the fuck up about your fucking fanfiction

At least 51 girls have been killed in an air strike on an elementary school in southern Iran, local authorities said, as the United States and Israel ramps up attacks on the country.

The attack on Saturday morning hit Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab city in the southern Hormozgan province. The victims were between seven and 12 years old, according to Iran's Tasnim and Fars news agencies.

The air strike on the school caused many of those inside the building to become trapped under the rubble.

There were 170 female students at the school at the time of the attack. So far, at least 45 people have also been reported wounded.

Were these children the revolutionary guards trump told to surrender or die? Is netanyahu going to say these dead seven-year-olds were the long arm of the ayatollah or some shit now?

good morning and fuck america

my heart is with all my persian brothers and sisters, all those with family in iran, all those living in iran.

Ohio!! It’s past time to prepare for a surge in ICE raids. The administration has set its sights next on Springfield OH, targeting primarily Haitian migrants.

Haitian temporary protective ends February 3rd. They will be raiding after removing their protective status.

Also 2 weeks after halting visa renewals for 75 countries, including haiti and other caribbean islands. So regardless of if people are here legally and have been here legally for decades, they're looking to abduct.

Here is the full list, which includes war-torn nations, US allies, and countries with long-standing migration ties to America:

So for some reason (either a glitch or an oversight) I have access to international internet now, and I don't know how long that will last so let me update you:

In the past week, at least 17000 people were murdered and shot in cold blood in the streets of Iran. These people were unarmed, most of them were teenagers. What was their crime? Protesting. Standing up against their oppressive dictator regime. Almost immediately from 8th of January they cut us off from internet. Complete blackout. We couldn't even text each other, we couldn't call each other. People couldn't call for an ambulance when they saw their friends and family getting shot. The IRG wouldn't let anyone help those that were dying. Now they've taken the bodies hostage, either demanding money before handing them back to their family or harassing the family to bury them at dawn so no one can gather. Thousands have lost their sight. Thousands are in custody and the regime does not need legal reasons for executing them.

The Islamic republic officials have made up different stories about this. First they said all those who protested were terrorists funded by America or Israel. Then they said thousands were killed by ISIS, not them. Now they blame every western power for everything that happened. Not one admits to what actually happened. They see themselves as God, whoever disagrees with them is not a human and must die. This is not an exaggeration.

It's been a week since the bloodbath. All the cities are in martial law. You're not allowed to go out at night, they will either shoot you, arrest you, or confiscate your phone.

Meanwhile the regime is trying it's fucking best to normalize everything. Don't let them.

You ever think about how unified humanity is by just everyday experiences? Tudor peasants had hangnails, nobles in the Qin dynasty had favorite foods, workers in the 1700s liked seeing flowers growing in pavement cracks, a cook in medieval Iran teared up cutting onions, a mom in 1300 told her son not to get grass stains on his clothes, some girl in the past loved staying up late to see the sun rise.

there are scriptures all over the world painstakingly crafted hundreds of years ago with paw prints and spelling mistakes or drawings covering up mistakes. a bunch of teenage girls 2000 years ago gathered to walk around their hometown, getting fast food and laughing with their friends. two friends shared blankets before people lived in houses. a mother ran a fine comb through her child’s hair and told it to stop squirming sometime in the 1000s. there are covered up sewing mistakes in couture dresses from the 1800s, some poor roman burnt their food so well past recognition that they just buried the entire pot. there are broken dishes hidden in gardens of people no one even remembers anymore

children eleven thousand years ago enjoyed jumping around in puddles made from the footprints of a giant sloth. children loved muddy puddles so long ago there were still megafauna alive

There’s a record of an emperor of Japan in the 9th century talking about his cat - how pretty it is, and how it stalks birds and curls up in a circle and meows mournfully for company and escaped its collar. All completely normal ordinary cat things. And then it ends with him saying “it is superior to all other cats”. I am delighted to be united across 1200 years with this fellow cat owner with exactly the same feelings about his cat that I have about mine.

this might sound like a ridiculous, tone-deaf, and even grotesque and disgusting request from the US government following their attack on Beirut, but please bear in mind the broader geopolitical ramifications of this. If this kind of technology were to fall into the hands of russia, china, or iran, they could reverse-engineer it and learn how to build bombs that cost as much as a bachelors degree while failing to go off.

what the fuck ethan

I wish i had a context for this. But I really dont.

I was all ready to “um, actually” this, but, um, actually there’s about 3-4 grams of iron in a person, which x400 is 1.2-1.6kg, which is a smallish but not unreasonable sword. So. Math checks out.

How would you extract the iron, though? The more practical solution would be to kill a mere hundred men, then mix 1 part blood with 3 parts standard molten iron, imo. Cheaper and faster, while still retaining the edge that only evil magic can give you.

Or, you could just make the sword of iron, and then use the blood to temper the blade.

1.2 to 1.6 kilograms is a perfectly reasonable large sword.  Your average longsword was 1.1–1.8 kg and I don’t even remember if that’s including the weight of the hilt, guard, and pommel or just the blade.  Your more classic “knight sword” was a mere 1.1 kilograms on average; the blood of 400 men is more than enough.

This is using the comparatively crappy metallurgy of medieval Europe and their meh iron swords.  Move east to, say, contemporary Iran and make a scimitar using high carbon steel (~2%) for a .75 kilogram blade and you only need the blood of about 225 men.

So putting my thoughts in on this… because how could I not.

So you’ve exsanguinated your 400 guys to get the iron for your sword. Cool. But now you have 400 bodies lying around.

Why not put those to good use and cremate them. Use the carbon from those 400 bodies (you won’t need all of them) and now you can make a nice mid-high carbon steel sword.

Now you have a sword forged with the blood of your enemies AND strengthened with their bones.

i don’t know how to explain to you people that no matter what a country’s government is like i do not and will not support the US indiscriminately bombing that country’s civilians and i don’t know why that’s a controversial take tbh

“oh iran is a dictatorship!” “oh palestine is homophobic!” i don’t care like literally i don’t care that’s not a problem to be solved by other countries blowing innocent people up
