none of us should have to spend this much time thinking about an elderly cognitively impaired person to whom we are not related

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert The warning came in a bulletin that was reviewed by ABC News.

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

Go on LinkedIn right now and you’ll find people with advanced degrees and decades of experience facing homelessness. It can happen to anyone. Your “good decisions” aren’t permanent protection from your life going off the rails.

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

Instead of March Madness this year I'll be doing a little something called Starch Sadness which is where I just eat potatoes until I feel better

Ever since I was little I knew I wanted to freak out

No.

2026 Frank Sinatra: Stop spreading the news

This is Frey’s entire plan to deal with the massive housing crisis his veto is about to cause.

So the shoegate I understand it is this:

1. Trump equals shoe size to dick size
2. Trump asks Rubio, Hegseth and the rest of the ilk about their shoe size.
3. They all yell, like 10, 11, big, huge.
4. Trump buys those for them, and they shamble around in shoes twice their size.

This tweet is 9 years old and it's never been wrong once.

US watching a movie where a vigilante’s entire family is wiped out: “Oh yeah, time for fucking vengeance, this dude will never stop. Get them!”

US watching Iran pick a Supreme Leader who just had his entire family wiped out: “This guy is plainly going to be reasonable and fold.”

I know they're two very different things but it's still wild that this administration was so surprised to see Minnesotans standing up for neighbors with whistles and Signal chats and then the same administration was like "Now let's attack Iran, surely THEY won't fight back in any way"

Literally every threat that the US or Israel makes to Iran I think in my head “or what you’re going to kill their leader and slaughter a bunch of school kids?” Being monsters out the gate doesn’t really give you a good chance to deescalate anything

I gotta say this war has led me to believe that 95% of military spending in the US just goes to defense contractor shareholders and nothing else. Like what do you mean the US just decommissioned its only mine defusing boats in the gulf and there’s no replacements?

Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

Incredible discourse happening today and I’m here for it

hey man how are those winter reserves going oh haha damn

when you're preparing for the economy to just get better and better

White phosphorus melt metal like plastic, those wounds never healed and if person doesn't die amputations are common practice

its cool how we’ve spent decades anticipating this exact scenario where a cornered iran would mine or otherwise deny access to the strait and the US gov is just like “woah, no idea they’d play this card in response to [operation: no iranian government official left alive]”

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

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 Iran’s mine stock isn’t 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 · Mar 10, 2026 · 6,060 Views

Here we go

ICE has a playbook for buying warehouse detention centers: move fast, tell nobody, and let communities find out from property records or news leaks. It's happened in at least 20 towns across the country. A thread. 🧵
