@DarriogMelanie on X: A top Trump official has been walking around with an electronic device gifted to him by senior foreign intelligence officials. Mar 14, 2026 Where are all of the “but, her emails,” Republicans on this one?
Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.
I don’t know why the White House press secretary is bragging about demanding CNN retract a story saying the admin wasn’t prepared for closure of the strait. Saying they knew better and fucked it up anyway doesn’t sound any less like a shitshow.
Got thoughts on parking in Berkeley? Take this survey by March 18.
The US military can take over the Strait of Hormuz. But it would require a big ground invasion and sustained occupation of Iran’s coastline (at minimum).
The straightforward reason why I, with no access to classified info, knew the US had no plan is because they didn’t position the assets to do it.
The Preservation Alliance has a weird thing about food and medical care and other things humans need to survive being free and available anywhere.
I was just disinvited from the Air War College where I’d been asked to lecture on my book, which is a history of U.S. civil-military relations.
On to the plant tags! This thread has many fine examples: bsky.app/profile/tkin...
They will often die WHILE IN THE CARE OF THE STORE. Corporate does not care. It costs more to make arrangements with wholesalers to produce in the correct season than to write off a couple thousand hanging baskets.
Nevertheless, a few things to keep in mind for new gardeners:
Just because they sell it at the garden center DOES NOT mean it’s safe to plant it now.
The big-box garden center does not care once the plant is out of their hands. If it freezes, it’s not their problem.
Spring is springing in many parts of the world, and soon it will be time once again for That Plant Label Is Not To Be Trusted, with your host, me!
However it has not yet sprung in my part of the world, even though we are firmly in Fool’s Spring, so I do not have a full episode for you.

There's good reason oligarchies have never really worked out in modern civilization, and we're about to find out why. It's just unfortunate that so many innocent lives will be ruined in the process.
Was just forced back to 3 days in office versus 2 and was already mad about the extra commute time.
I think it’s more likely that Hegseth thinks “no quarter” sounds cool since he sees it in his Christian Nationalist 4Chan groups all the time, and doesn’t know what it actually means.
Kalshi odds that future episodes will be found are spiking on the news.

What do you think I was singing? Best answer gets a paw of respect.
“A Huge Win for Wildlife in Oregon: New Funding for Conservation” A bumble bee on a lupine flower along the Oregon coast.
Over the last year, Xerces has been part of a coalition of organizations supporting a bill in Oregon that would increase the state lodging tax by 1.25%, and dedicate that money to wildlife conservation. And it passed! This ensures long-term funding for the state's most vulnerable species!
Back in 1978, I traveled through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India & Nepal with my best friend on the ultimate trip for any backpacker — the so-called Hippie Trail.
“On the Hippie Trail” features my journal & photos from that journey — and the paperback edition will be available 4/21!
Great portrait for an awesome companion. My deepest condolences Darren.
People say that money can't buy happiness but those people have never randomly ordered a package on the internet that they completely forgot about- until it randomly arrived several weeks later like a little treat to themselves from the past.
"They told him on a Thursday that the charges were dismissed. She doesn't come out on Friday. He gets a call on Monday that she's dead."
"This is obviously going to raise questions in anybody's mind."

Haitian immigrant last seen in ICE custody—found dead on the street 3 days later.
Agents drove her 1 hour away from home for processing—then released without notifying her family.
Her body was found near a bus stop.
Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

On this year’s long covid awareness day, I want more people to read and think about what the late Shafiqah Hudson said before it killed her. Because she was right, as usual, and also early, as usual. Perhaps too early for a lot of people to listen.
INSURANCE LAWYER REACTS!
In 2018, Donald Trump created a gov’t agency to spur US investment in poor nations. Now, he wants to turn that agency into the world’s dumbest wartime reinsurance outfit. What could possibly go wrong??
