US MISSILE STRIKES IRAN SCHOOL IN SHOCKING FIRST USE!
A new missile in the American arsenal appears to have been used in combat for the first time in Iran, according to a visual investigation by the New York Times. A BBC investigation reached the same conclusion. The attack by what’s known as a Precision Strike Missile, or PrSM, took place in the city of Lamerd on the first day of the war and struck a sports hall and neighboring elementary school, both of which were located next to a Revolutionary Guards compound. Iran says 21 people were killed. (This was different from a more widely publicized strike on an elementary school in Minab that killed nearly 200.)
In a dazzling debut worthy of a reluctant Broadway star, America’s brand-new Precision Strike Missile—fresh from last year’s prototype party—made its first appearance lighting up civilian spots in Iran, including a school and sports hall. Officials, ever the masters of vague ambiguity, assure us with straight faces that it’s “difficult to assess” whether this poetic act of precision was intentional, a glitch, or just a GPS snafu. Meanwhile, the Pentagon continues its avant-garde approach to weapons testing: why rely on simulations when you can have a live-feedback “combat evaluation” featuring actual people? Capt. Tim Hawkins steps in with the classic denial that the U.S. only targets non-civilians, because, as everyone knows, targeting civilians is exclusively an Iranian hobby. It’s like the military-industrial complex’s version of a reality show—“America’s Got Missiles,” featuring explosions, mystery, and just a pinch of plausible deniability.
Atkins got his first guitar by making a trade with his brother, and it was arguably the best deal he ever made. Although he struggled with shyness and suffered from severe asthma—he had to sleep sitting up and often fell asleep still holding his guitar—he became an accomplished guitarist and went on to release several hit records, develop a signature line of guitars, and help create country music's "Nashville sound." What did "Mr. Guitar," as he came to be known, trade to get that first guitar?

Excluding water, tea is the most widely consumed drink on the planet, drunk either hot or cold by half the world's population. The vast majority of tea sold in the West is black tea, made from fermented leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Generally stronger in flavor and more caffeinated than the green and oolong varieties, black tea retains its flavor for several years and has long been an article of trade, serving as a form of currency into the 19th century in what countries?
