Map of projected temperature anomalies next Thursday across the western U.S. from the ECMWF ensemble. The entire map is bright red and pink, indicative of extreme to record-breaking March warmth. Some location will be 25-30F degrees above average, with a few locations warming over 35F (!) above average.

All signs continue to point to an exceptional, long-duration, and record-breaking to (in some cases) record-shattering March heatwave initially centered across U.S. Southwest but expanding to much broader region next week. This is effectively a full-on summer heatwave in March.

Months of buildup and they were still totally unprepared for going to war with Iran. They still haven't figured out that "warfighting" isn't just Tiktoks and memes. You actually need to plan for things not immediately going your way.

Those were the days

Hegseth is in so far over his head he can't see daylight. This is a mediocre guy whose claim to fame was accidentally hitting someone with an axe on TV, and now he has to sell a war to an exhausted country that nobody can justify. He's scared, angry, and lashing out because he can't hide.

US doesn't need Ukraine's help with drone defenses, Trump says The claim appears to conflict with President Volodymyr Zelensky's earlier statement that Kyiv agreed to Washington's request for assistance in protecting U.S. military bases in Jordan.

⚡️ US doesn't need Ukraine's help with drone defenses, Trump says.

"No, we don't need their help in drone defense," Trump said. "We know more about drones than anybody. We have the best drones in the world, actually."

Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.

Wildfires ignited in Nebraska and South Dakota yesterday afternoon. Under strong winds, the blazing fires quickly scorched hundreds of thousands of acres.

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."

No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

Yeah, man, it’s an absolute mystery why so many people are going all in on AI refusal. Maybe they absolutely do understand the ways in which AI is “useful” to the people hawking AI in the words of those very people.

The third anniversary of the week. 100 years ago today, LADWP began impounding water at the San Fransquito Dam in northern LA County. Exactly 2 years later on 3/12/1928, the dam failed suddenly and catastrophically, releasing 47million cubic meters of water, killing 430+ people.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

What stands out to me is the arrogance. The surefootedness that this was the correct thing to do despite no experience in government. The presumption that they were entitled to use their own uninformed judgement to cut funds to things that they don’t personally value www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish.

The radar installation in Qatar that was destroyed by Iran was a strategic level asset.

You're probably picturing a big radar dish. The AN/FPS-132 is more of a massive, multistory concrete building that looks like a cut pyramid. A major civil engineering project. There was ONE in the Middle East.

The US military is great at lethality. Truly world-class. Point to something and the US military can kill everyone there.

But lethality is a means, not an end. Ends are inherently political.

Said millions of times but bears repeating, since the people who don’t get it are in charge of the country.
