I promise just one more, people. I won’t turn into one of those besotted cat people.

Oh, whom am I kidding?

This photo conveys my current mood, half an hour after discovering Iran opened another war against us: “Iran missiles trigger sirens across northern Israel after Beirut strike; all launches intercepted, schools canceled nationwide … gatherings limited and protected spaces required at work” 😦
Feel sick (at heart) and tired from this all.

It definitely is a big blow. One wants to believe that this 3rd-worldist crap can’t happen here.

We arrested people for that down in Dade/Broward. Can’t imagine CA ever pulling out of the corruption on its own. Too entrenched. One imagines and interesting fantasy scenario where the cities get blockaded by the rest of the state until they capitulate, but IRL people just move to FL.

Hell, if a country like India can complete an election is one day, do not even pretend that this is an honest system. I can understand late write ins for the military overseas maybe, but that is about it.

The political system in California has become such an embarrassment that I purposefully avoid all news about it. It’s easier simply not to know.

A short explanation of this new round:
In response to this morning’s rocket attacks on northern Israeli communities, Hezbollah headquarters in Dahieh, Beirut, are finally being bombed.
…
In short, Iran is trying to show Israel that Hezbollah and Iran are operating as a single front and is now using rocket attacks on northern Israel to make that point.Israel now faces a dilemma: either swallow the pill and permanently accept that any strike on Dahieh will from now on be met with missiles from Iran, or resume military operations against Iran.
Lately, Iran’s hawks have seemed disoriented and somewhat confused. They’ve been trying to come up with some grandiose cause to justify continuing the usurpation of power in the country they carried out after the war began. They’ve been unsuccessful. Seizing on the Israeli shelling of Beirut, they’re now trying to unleash a new round of hostilities, hoping that if hostilities resume, no one in the moderate camp will even mention a return to the pre-war situation.
