      I found my conversation with the Shitman oddly inspiring. I need to do more bits, give random strangers their own legends and stories to tell their friends. I did wear a gnome hat around San Francisco for a day once, but that’s small potatoes. I’m escalating to a Spinosaurus costume next, to be fair, but there are other bits I must conceive of and commit to IRL to sow legends far and wide.

      > [Far from delaying housing, the Greens’ pressure managed to accelerate the construction of social housing — although to be frank, what we won is a drop in the ocean, compared with what we need.](https://jacobin.com/2025/06/australia-greens-electoral-politics-left)

      Except for the part where Max Chandler-Mather literally delayed housing construction

      He may want to look up the definition of “accelerate”

      This Iran shit is like the slowest burning and makes my ADHD procrastination look fine. Just do the regime change or accept them getting a bomb 🤪… if you wait too long they’ll get a bomb. There just doesn’t seem to be an endgame plan, we just do the next thing we’re drawn in to do and sleepwalking along.

      We pull out of the deal in 2018 to the warning Warning: **No deal mean Iran gets a nuke unless we enforce regime change at some point**.

      Iran picks up defeat after defeat:

      Israel bombs the Syrian consulate – Iran lobs some drones at nothing. Israel wrecks Hezbollah. Syria/Assad falls. Israel escalates and the US blows a shit ton of materiel intercepting missiles that Israel provoked.

      US is meekly drawn in to blowing up Fordow-results unclear. The enriched uranium has been relocated.

      Iran has most of it’s missile launchers destroyed by Israel. A ceasefire is employed which is violated as Iran’s command and control is in disarray.

      Iran are led by a 86 year old in a bunker who is only communicating with a handful of physical couriers due to fear of getting blown up.

      Iran has 400 kg of 60 percent uranium floating around somewhere. It seems odd to stop at 60 percent instead of focusing on getting a weapon. Guess they thought threshold status was enough deterrent or wouldn’t invite conflict (it was not 😂). Enriched a bit more that makes a handful of nuclear bombs.

      **With Iran’s shit very fucked up, threshold status failing to deter and Iran with limited options, 400kg of 60 percent and lots of centrifuges floating around seems plausible a bomb will still get made in 6 months – 2 years without regime change or capitulation/a deal. So inevitably we’ll kick the can down the road until they are almost there and then we’ll have to do regime change. If you’re going to choose regime change just do it now FFS.**

      **See you soon for more Iran Nuclear Boogaloo part 2 in a few-handful of months after Tariff TACO part 3 in early July.**

      I am so fucking sick of mods stickies. Their entire schtick at this point is stickying their own shitpost and it pisses me the fuck off. Every single thing they pin are them trying to be a smug shit poster and trying to get attention.
