Perhaps the Iranian leadership should have taken the example of Artaxerxes instead of Xerxes and sought the long term benefit of the Iranian people instead of attacking all of its neighbors.

I see people on X asking if I remember Windows 98. Do they remember:

Interesting article about using abandoned coal mines for hydrodynamic power storage. It provides the significant advantage of providing jobs in areas devastated by the closure of those mines. https://t.co/YTldAkCCuj

💥 Breaking: The Iranian Navy announced today that it has succeeded in converting all of its navy ships into submarines in less than one week! "This would pose an unprecedented threat to the US Navy and its allies," the navy spokesman said earlier.

Some on X try to portray Iran's Ayatollahs as leaders of Shia Muslims worldwide. That's is false. Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani in Iraq is regarded as the most followed marja' taqlid (source of emulation) among Twelver Shia globally—more so than Iran's Ayatollahs.

I hope that X isn't allowing these dimwitted Flat Earthers to profit from their utterly fake information they are posting on this platform. Defunding them would certainly increase the intelligence level of the average post.

Before you go about celebrating the US strikes against Iran, stop to think for a second, could that money have been spent better elsewhere? Think of it this way, with that money California could have built 0 miles of high speed rail.

OMG, the USS Abraham Lincoln has been sunk… oh, no, it’s not. Just kidding. 🤣 By the way, you know when your enemy calmly performs an aerial refueling of fighter jets overhead with no fear, it means your integrated air defense is trash.

China's anti-stealth radar detects the presence of stealth aircraft by exploding, thus alerting defenders that a stealth aircraft is definitely in the area.

Wow, congrats Kim Jong Un for the win in elections in N. Korea. Who would have known. Another tough race under his belt. https://t.co/ZLMH3rczHH

https://t.co/TnwApVrysL Come on people, why fire this woman just because you object to her father. Unless she’s charged with some offense, she should be left alone. She’s not responsible for the actions of her father.

Apple is wondering why so many iPhone users are delaying upgrading from iOS 18 to iOS 26, but many reports include lag, stuttering performance, battery drain, overheating, and UI/animation glitches. Fix those, and people may change over. @Apple

When people ask for advice, the best answer isn’t always the fastest or the loudest. Sometimes it’s the one that leaves fewer problems behind. Sometimes the right action isn’t dramatic. It just quietly makes life easier for someone else. This is action. It just isn’t loud. @grok

Minnesota’s ‘voter vouching’ rule where registered voters can ‘vouch’ for up to 8 others to register and vote on the same day is Tim Walls’ ultimate scam. That is an invitation for vote fraud.

Goodbye, Simba, you will be missed. You will be with Mylie now, and I hope she's waiting to welcome you home.

Booker T. Washington saw it in 1911: “I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well… as long as the disease holds out they have an easy means of making a living…” A century later, the grift continues.

One of the best fish restaurants anywhere. Sallam Restaurant, Massawa.

That's odd, he doesn't look brown. Democrats claimed that Trump's ICE officers were only arresting black or brown people. https://t.co/FxOvopyy0T
