The precedent was set by Vanillish and its icky vanill-kin.

Oh no! A terrible absence of yumminess.

When pondering “lethality,” this quote from Sherman in 1865 comes to mind:

“War means success by any and every means; it is not fighting alone. Bulls do that, and bears, and all beasts, but men attain objects by intellect, and the introduction of physical power, moved upon strategic points."

the thing about 'trump escapes all consequences' is that its not actually true. he notably did lose a presidential election despite giving people a bunch of free money. the median voter likes him when they can imagine what he *would* do, not when confronted with what hes actually doing.

A Pokémon that lives in a food, like Applin, or that lives in a food container, like Sinistea, is okay. A Pokémon that is a dessert is..... not okay

(Assuming the statistic is accurate, but it's not implausible, especially if it counts "reports that aren't deemed credible")

37% of kids; since not all families have only one kid in them, a family with 4 kids that gets investigated adds as many kids to that percentage as two 2-kid families or four 1-kid families

Froakie looks gross and its evolutions are ickier, but I kept my Fennekin-to-Delphox and Chespin-to-whatever-it-becomes and was happy with them 🤷‍♀️

Absurd heat! Despite our best efforts, the monster heat dome is bound to be "undersold" by the meteorology community. Why? Because intensity like this is almost never seen. This thing has the potential to be Epic for Mid-March, and not in a good way… 1/

The drum that really need to get beaten is that the single biggest blocking point for Iran breaking out was that the supreme leader was sincerely religiously opposed to nuclear weapons, which is why we, very smartly (/s) blew him up

Republicans said that if I voted for Kamala we would get green degrowth with expensive energy and reduced carbon emissions

I guess they were right

US struggles to evacuate American personnel from facilities under fire in Iraq: Officials Some U.S. staff were flown out by the British air force, officials said.

Chairman Cruz Announces Hearing to Debate the Future of Section 230 WASHINGTON, D.C. –U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, will convene a full committee hearing titled “Liability or Deniability? Platform Power as Section 230 Turns 30” on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 10:00 am EST. Thirty years after enactment of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, this hearing will take testimony from legal experts on the role Section 230 has played in the digital era. Witnesses will discuss how Section 230 affects the regulation of online expression and conduct, as well as the constitutional limits on congressional policymaking imposed by the First Amendment. Upon announcing the hearing, Sen. Cruz said: “Big Tech—the most powerful companies on Earth—can exercise monopoly power to make views they dislike disappear and that should scare everyone. When it comes to viewpoint suppression, however, repealing section 230 might increase censorship. I look forward to hearing from our witnesses and discussing possible reforms to section 230 so online platforms are a free and open marketplace for ideas.” Witnesses: Ms. Daphne Keller, Director of Platform Regulation, Program in Law, Science, and Technology, Stanford Law School Ms. Nadine Farid Johnson, Policy Director, Knight First Amendment Institute Mr. Matthew Bergman, Founding Attorney, Social Media Victims Law Cente

Senate Commerce hearing on Section 230. And, uh, this is big. Not giving him any credit, but Ted Cruz was really the first Senator to be vocally anti-230 and calling for repeal a decade ago. And here he is saying "whoa, repeal might be bad." That's big.

All these GOP guys falling all over themselves to say “No president before has had the courage to…” on the air don’t realize it is a weird way to phrase ”We have never before elected such a colossal dumbass to the position of Commander in Chief.”

the most bloodthirsty ghouls in US history have been casting about for a plausible iran war story for decades, and every time they reluctantly concluded that it just didn't pencil out. but what they never considered was what if you didnt care about that

Serious question, if the strait is closed for longer than a few weeks, how does food get to all the metropolises in the Gulf?

My rough timeline:
If the Strait reopens in the coming week, we have weeks of energy market disruption ahead but things have settled by the Autumn.
If the Strait is closed for another 3/4 weeks we have months of disruption.
If the Strait is closed for longer things get very bad, very quickly.

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."

people think that i am being metaphorical when i say that war crimes give Hegseth an erection

Why did he have a shoe catalog at the ready? How did he even FIND a shoe catalog somewhere other than online at the Internet Archive? Is he next going to get them all something from Sharper Image or SkyMall?

Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."

I love when you buy a fake amazon brand and it has a little note that’s like “always be the smile” thank you, I will. I will do that.

boy I dunno. people are being really confident about Iran's lack of ability to execute terror strikes against the US despite there being every reason to believe our counterterrorism has gone to shit

The massive sea change we've seen in attitudes toward domestic abuse over the past century is a strong sign of both our society's ability to change in response to changes in what is possible and the transitory stickiness of godawful things that have outlived their purpose.

“I’m pretty sure the guy who peed on your office chair went that way - if you hurry, maybe you can catch him”

Strait of hormuz minesweeper, and i'm stuck guessing the last couple

Fuck

One thing that was quite noticeable to me upon joining the military is how many people I served with were abused as kids but did not understand that their upbringing was abusive. They'd get mad if you suggested it.

One way you can tell the past was a miserable place is that almost every single fucking time any segment of the public got a chance to get thoroughly wasted it proceeded to do so with IMMENSE ENTHUSIASM.

Booze, hallucinogens, cocaine, khat, you name it. Ppl self-medicated like crazy.
