A dozen memes (in a thread) of the foreign policy moment: capitulation, surrender, losing the war.
🧵 1 of 3
#USpol #Iran #kegseth

A post by Molly Ploofkins titled "Understanding Trump's Surrender to Iran: A Quick Guide." The tweet contains a table comparing the Obama (JCPOA, 2015) and Trump (2026) agreements with Iran. The table has three columns: the first column lists categories such as Unfrozen Iranian assets, Iran's uranium stockpile, Iran's enrichment program, Iran sanctions, Hormuz Strait, American lives lost to get to deal, American injuries to get to deal, Direct costs to get to deal, Additional geopolitical risk,…
screenshot of a post by Oz Katerji @OzKaterji I also think it was obvious, basically everyone with sense said that Iran could win the war simply by outlasting US resolve, and they did precisely that. Trump basically thought the Iranians would fold like the Venezuelans did after Maduro, he was wrong. [quote post] Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom Unless you're an brain-wormed partisan, "Iran is an evil regime," "this preventive war was stupid and should never have been launched," and "this peace …
screenshot of a post by Michael McFaul @McFaul This agreement is far worse than I expected. To reopen the strait— a strait that was open before the war- we and our partners are transferring billions to the autocrats. We get nothing else— no elimination of enriched uranium, missiles, or terrorist support. And to add one final gift, we agree to not help the Iranian people pursue their democratic aspirations. Just incredible. [quote post] Farnaz Fassihi @farnazfassihi The full text of the …
screenshot of a post by Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly Donald Trump took us to war without a plan. Families have lost loved ones. Billions of dollars have been spent. For what? This "deal" he signed leaves Iran stronger and in control of the Strait, but does little to advance US interests. The "master deal maker" just made one of the worst deals in US history. This is a total capitulation! What's next, the Russians get Alaska? Jun 18, 2026 • 2:23 AM UTC

Since when did autumn become dangerous?
Anyway, one of a myriad reasons I don’t log into LinkedIn (except, apparently, to self-promote, which is the whole reason it exists).

A LinkedIn connection request, profile name redacted, but with description: “Two Brands. 1 Purpose; Attract, Assess & Acquire the best SALES talent for growth. Be Limitless.” The message: “Hey Adrian, How're things going at Self Employed? The reason I ask, we're working with a global fall protection company that is looking for Sr Digital Marketing Manager and thought you'd want to learn more. Let me know and I can flip over the job over?”

Ah yes, DHH is certainly who we should look towards for how to govern the NixOS foundation. /s
This blog post is the wildest shit I had to read in a while.
fzakaria.com/2026/07/18/how-to

A paragraph in a questionable blog post citing the famously openly racist DHH > A clear vision, whether you agree with it or not, is refreshing. Someone who can say yes or no and is not simply stonewalled by design-by-committee. DHH had said it poignantly well: “Using open source software does not entitle you to a vote on the direction of the project.” [cite].

Content warning: internal DSA politics

"Palestine is a canary in the coal mine for an electoral approach that prioritizes popularity and political careerism over anti-imperialism and party-building."
I wish AOC were better and DSA could proudly endorse her, but as it stands, I unfortunately agree with Red Star's critiques and conclusion here.

Still a bridge to nowhere: Imperialism, electoralism, and AOC
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), darling DSA Socialist in Office (SIO), has received her fifth consecutive endorsement from NYC-DSA. She is sailing towards what is almost assuredly a safe re-election and will start her fifth term as a representative in Congress in 2027. NYC-DSA’s endorsement has opened the door to yet

@… Haven’t gotten that far in the post yet, so I won’t comment on your exclusion of AP yet, just to note that I agree with what you want to build, and I have a PDX local friend who is a film buff and has been working on a Letterboxd replacement on and off over the years.
I really hope something comes to fruition. I just want to log how I feel about things I sa…

Since it was relevant to a discussion I just had on here and is something most people probably haven't thought about much (unless you've taken one of a handful of philosophy classes), I thought I'd try to lay out a key piece of Descartes' Meditations (#philosophy
