Wow. Those who started the war must be happy nothing significant happens around the time of the harvest. Halloween’s the harvest festival, right? So any food supply issues would be around then? Late October / early November? Hmmmm 🤔
🧵A niche thing I study that shouldn’t be niche-y is that anhydrous ammonia to fertilize US row crops (eg corn) is made from natural gas via a dumb chemical process invented in WW1.
And now that fertilizer stuck in the Straight of Hormuz and planting season is nigh.

Maybe he’s speaking literally? he identifies as “King Death, Fire, and Fury; the first of this house” and he’s saying he “will reign upon them”
Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.
Australian TV news: "And notice which country is not on the buy side of that chart. The United States, they don't need it. They've got their own oil. They're fine. But you won't see any of those countries that are on the buy side of that chart bombing Iran, so they close those straits."
You can’t kill your way to “peace”

Throwback to Holi in Bangalore with Thoughtworks friends … good times. I was that vibrant shade of pink for a week 🎉
Kind of a perfect San Francisco night. Swing by Booksmith to pick up @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social latest and then swing by Zam Zam for a dirty gin martini and conversation. Then walk home under a full moon. I do so love this city
I know, right?
Wow. It’s almost like democrats want more PROGRESSIVE representation, not more tentative pseudo- republicans /cc @governor.ca.gov
I was in high school when we invaded Iraq the 2nd time & strongly opposed it, but couldn’t fully understand my mom’s reaction. I get it now. Pols and MSM screeching the dumbest shit you’ve heard in your life but you’ve also heard it all before and it’s being used to justify mass murder is…stupifying
Damn, the truth in this. and that was before the depends.
I can’t verify the origin of these but they resonate deeply. The USA is not a positive actor in the Middle East
“So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime-but because we know how imperial powers treat liberated nations in the Middle East.”
i need allies to stop looking at the ongoing horrors that trans people are facing and responding with "wow imagine what will happen when this comes for [others]"
yeah that'll suck, can we talk about it happening to us RIGHT NOW? we're more than the canary in the coal mine. we deserve to live too.
I like that framing… “flood down economics” 👏👏👏
He’s been an incoherent babbling mess for decades, and I honestly can’t understand why people are blind to that. I always thought “the emperor’s new clothes” was supposed to be a fairy tale but clearly not
We are standing on a street corner in San Francisco looking at a row of Victorians. The corner unit facing us has a circular tower. The ground floor is a shop called “psychedelic SF” and sports a large illuminated hemp leaf

Kurt Vonnegut stop being so applicable to all time periods of American life, you can’t do that Kurt Vonnegut, your insights are too evergreen Kurt Vonnegut
Growing up in australia we used South East Asian to mean Thai, Malaysian, etc. And people from the subcontinent were Indian/Pakistani etc. I remember being very confused when I moved to the UK and Asian meant “from the subcontinent”. And then I lived in india and the USA and got even more confused
look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british
The discovery that ICE began using Subarus shook me to my core. My culture is not a costume
Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.
In 1776, the 13 colonies that became the United States included a significant percentage of Black and Indigenous people (some southern states were a third or more Black). When the US annexed Texas in 1844 and then in 1848 took Mexico’s whole northern half...
