It's Chaos, Be Kind

TIL who Mullholand Drive is named after.

Hyperfocus hangover is a THING.

It should STILL BE GETTING DARK ABOUT NOW, you monsters!

For some reason, I find myself more irritated by daylight savings time this year than I can ever remember being before.

I REMEMBERED. Saturday ticket: acquired.

1/ In the coming weeks expect to see a lot more bullshit like this accusing war critics of being 'objectively pro-mullah.'

Laughing in their faces is easier than ever.

I just keep coming back around to, "there is a reason that no previous president did this foolish thing and it was not because they were weak, woke cowards, but because they could read a cost-benefit analysis."

Mojtaba Khamanei, in his first statement as Supreme Leader, says that "the resistance in Yemen" – Ansar Allah/the Houthis, who haven't tapped in yet – "are ready to do their job." Says the same about the Islamic Resistance in Iraq.

The quotes in this piece are ABSOLUTE BONKERS. I thought I was paying attention but apparently I really, really wasn't.

Is weather whiplash a thing? Because it sure feels like it's a thing.

My husband and | just received 13 traffic violations in the mail 2 of them were from STOP SIGNS. IS THIS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE IN DC?!?? Is there a lot of success in getting these things cancelled?! We just moved here and have been going with the flow of traffic! This is INSANE $1500 worth of infractio

i can't stand nextdoor but i think it's fascinating that out of 137 commenters about 120 are like "yeah it sucks to drive in dc" and the handful remaining are patiently explaining that the one weird trick to not getting tickets is to stop driving like an asshole

Trump has tremendous difficulty with principled people (even if as with the Iranian regime, the principles are bad). He assumes everyone is a transactional fraud like him. Works well with rich Americans and poorly with idealists of any stripe

“The Heritage Foundation hired Scott Yenor, a family-policy scholar who advocates a suite of measures to keep women from public life and reshackle them to husband, hearth, and home.”

Strikes on Iran Damage Cultural Heritage Sites, Infuriating Iranians

Is Hegseth and his merry band of Christian nationalists doing this intentionally? Or are they just this incompetent: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

Reynolds signs Iowa law barring local trans civil rights protections City and county civil rights commissions may no longer protect Iowans from gender identity-based discrimination under a law signed by Gov. Reynolds.

Within just a few hours of this morning's genocide warning from the Lemkin Institute, the 4th Circuit ruled that trans adults can have our care banned and be forced by any means to "appreciate our sex", and Iowa made it ILLEGAL to protect trans people.

Man, we're gonna *lose* lose this war, aren't we?

My opening assumption was a strategic defeat but tactical stalemate that Donald would spin into a win in domestic politics because we killed a lot more of them than they did of us, but this is gonna be like if Vietnam and the oil crisis had a baby.

The Botox Administration.

lmfao dawg what

Drastically cutting BART would be suicidal for the region and the climate.

(Typing this on BART)

BART has a revenue hole, to be sure but…it is on the upswing and has never felt better or safer. Fare gates are helping $ and safety, trains are clean.

Downtown revitalization and the condition of the above ground plazas especially in Mission are holding it back.

Trump ended the IRS Direct File program that allowed millions of taxpayers to file taxes for free.

That happened after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government to block the IRS from launching its own program.

Intuit also donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

If I were going to pick a time to invade Taiwan...

Fuckers.

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

"PDF is a terrible format" might be objectively true, but given that every major digital TRPG storefront is dealing in them, locking your game to an app seems like a guaranteed way to have it immediately sink into obscurity like a stone
