the more actual harm caused by a petroleum supply shock, the funnier it will be that some of trump's first actions was making it significantly more expensive to buy solar and EVs. Im sorry but its so, so, so funny
the world is literally plunged into fiery death and chaos and its just hard to focus on like.... anything else? routine stuff?
its only been like a week and this is already one of the stupidest things anyone's ever posted
Someone looking at a gravestone says "I miss you dad. I wish I got more time with you." The ground around the grave begins to shift. "Oh my god" says the speaker. A hand emerges from the dirt. A thin, bald man with a long protuberance of a nose, soaking wet, pulls himself from the dirt proclaiming "why yes, it is I, Wet Nude Steve. You've caught me while I've been out tunneling around, experiencing worm pleasures. One of my naughtiest indulgences. Perhaps you would like to explore with me?"
I Miss You Dad
As Los Angeles gears up for a surge of tourists for this yearβs FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Olympics, vacation rental giant Airbnb is urging the city of Los Angeles to legalize thousands of new short-term rentals.
March 11, 2026 Minneapolis City Council 350 South 5th Street Room 370 Minneapolis, MN 55415 Dear Council President Payne, Council Vice President Osman and Council Members: This letter is to inform you that I have vetoed Ordinance No. 2026-002 to extend the pre-eviction notice for renters to 60 days. I understand the authorsβ intent, but the experience from COVID-19 and guidance from shelter and affordable housing providers shows that this strategy has not worked. We have heard over and over again from shelter and affordable housing providers that longer timelines produce worse outcomes for residents. In their words, when rental assistance isnβt available, time is a debt trap that becomes a barrier to securing future housing. I heard a call for more financial assistance, and I believe that is the best path forward. Rental assistance is working and getting to renters quickly β rent collections are better in 2026 than 2025. Thatβs why Iβm proposing to spend $1 million from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund for emergency rental assistance administered through Hennepin County. While a 60-day pre-eviction notice period sounds good, there is no data to show that it does good. Pandemic era eviction moratorium allowed many renters to accumulate huge amounts of debt that they are still paying off today. When property owners carry the losses, the housing system experiences upward pressure on rents to replenish reserves, catch up on missed mortgage, insurance, utility, payroll, and property tax payments, and cover increased costs associated with deferred maintenance. I believe most landlords are working with tenants to develop payment plans and access rental assistance. But for bad actors, I worry that the proposal gives them reasons to report tenants to ICE or use minor lease violationswhich donβt require as much notice and are harder to expunge β to evict tenants. We will continue to monitor the data. If something substantially changes, I am committed to working with the Cityβ¦
mayor jacob frey has vetoed the pause evictions, save lives bill the minneapolis city coucil approved that would've extended the eviction timeline from 30 days to 60 days temporarily to held families impacted by the ICE invasion catch up paying rent
Although President Trump has claimed Iran was weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, much more work was needed for the country to do so
Assuming available funding, a complete timeline for the study, permitting, and construction is included below. The draft timeline is subject to change based on staff resources, competing priorities, litigation, California Coastal Commission permitting, and the City's contract procurement process. Mobility Hub Project Draft Timeline Phase Timeframe Task Order Solicitation March/April 2026 - July/Aug 2026 Feasibility Study Aug/ Sept 2026 - Jan/Feb 2027 Permitting & Approvals Nov/Dec 2026 - Nov/Dec 2027 Detailed Design & Engineering March 2027- August 2027 Procurement & Bidding Sept 2027 - Nov 2027 Construction Dec 2027 - April/May 2028 Commissioning & Launch June 2028
I cannot stop laughing at this absolutely delusional timeline! As noted in the report, just getting Coastal Commission approval will take at least a year.
You know what already has Coastal Commission approval? THE 100% AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECT PLANNED FOR THIS PARKING LOT
Councilmember Traci Park just got the city's transportation committee to advance a mobility hub for 2028 at the site of the Venice Dell housing project she's been trying to block.
Among the many issues with this plan, here's a big one β Metro does not show a mobility hub planned for this site
Drone strikes in Haiti.
Drone strikes. In Haiti.
By private contractors.
Theyβre killing Haitians for private profit & the world barely pays attention.
The story of Haiti is the story America likes to tell about itself. Except there, itβs true. And the west has never stopped punishing Haiti for it
If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.
Thereβs always a lot of handwringing regarding alleged violence by unhoused folks - and rarely an honest conversation about what theyβre subjected to on a daily basis.
Professional party of rake steppers
Okay I guess I'm not sure I understand. The idea is that, gas prices have skyrocketed because of Trump's incredibly expensive and unpopular war. So, the Democrats will lower gas prices, which will make the war more expensive, and also more popular?
That this war with Iran is unpopular in a way never before recorded in American history has seen remarkably little attention from the press
Real patriots ride the train.
My neighbor told me Iranian mines keep eating his ships so I asked how many ships he has and he said he just goes to the port and gets a new ship afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding ships to mines and then his daughter started crying.
NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.
Truly a perfect news alert

Jennifer Jacobs @JenniferJJacobs NEWS via @CBSNews : U.S. intelligence assets have begun to see indications Iran is taking steps to deploy mines in Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. Iran is using smaller crafts that can carry 2 to 3 mines each. While Iranβs mine stock isnβt publicly known, estimates over the years have ranged from roughly 2,000 to 6,000 naval mines of Iranian, Chinese and Russian-made variants, @JimLaPorta reports 2:13 PM Β· Mar 10, 2026 Β· 6,060 Views

Made the mistake of reading two Wall Street journal articles and it is jaw dropping that anyone still reads that garbage. Theyβre earnestly trying to argue that Trump is on the precipice of behind the greatest foreign relations president of all time.
Really moving piece on the importance of not forgetting about the ongoing effects of Armenians being ethnically cleansed from Artsakh. Leftists in the US have done a very poor job speaking up about this.

Itβs genuinely insane how many cop dramas hinge on the idea that Internal Affairs is an omnipresent, suffocating entity trying to ruin copsβ lives for being too damn good at their job when in real life we get a steady drip of videotaped executions that donβt even go to trial.
