It looks to Iranians that Trump is actually using the Israeli attack as part of the negotiations.
And that makes it very difficult for them to go back to the table.
Trump wants Iran to surrender, not to sign a deal. And Iran right now is not ready to surrender

So #YouTube now has an "Inspiration" tab for creators. Now the mindless mess of misinformation that is #Google #AI can both suggest a topic and create the video. What's the point of the human being around at all? Pretty sure Google is thinking along those lines.
Anyway, the Inspiration tab takes you to this little lovely, to which all I can say is, "No sh*t!"

Happy Sewing Machine Day, everyone! There's a competing one on the 10th of September, but that's OK -- we can celebrate twice!
Do you have a sewing machine in a box that you inherited from your great-grandma and haven't ever touched? If it's made of metal, it's probably still perfectly usable! If it has plastic bits, more things could go wrong with it, but it may *still* be perfectly usable. Today is a good day to mess around with it and see if you can get it to work.
I picked up this 1950's Singer from someone (not working) and got it working recently. IT IS SO AWESOME
@ai6yr Did you know today was Sewing Machine Day, and there's another Sewing Machine Day on Sept.10?

It’s #STFUfriday!
When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:
- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.
- Am I free to leave?
- I am not answering any questions.
- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."
- I want to talk to a lawyer.
The Boston Globe ran this asinine article about how cops can defuse mistrust of cops by starting with why they want to talk.
There are good reasons that cops aren't trusted.
STFU. Lawyer. 🧵
I had the distinctly strange pleasure of making protest signs with my 74-year-old mom today. Here are our signs for the #NoKings march tomorrow.
My mom expressed sorrow that her upcoming international travel will be the first time she's been ashamed to be American. I told her I've always been mildly ashamed of it, and on top of that, I'm ashamed that I've never done anything about it until now.
It's past time to fix this.
