is it morally or legally right? no
has it achieved any long standing strategic aims outside of degrading iranian strike assets? no
did any plan go into thinking about the second-order effects of this conflict? no
Okay but let's see Bam do this against Mike James and Joey Graham and Matt Bonner

Fox News was on at the gym over the weekend and the chyron said "WOKE MAPPING" to refer to gerrymandering and honestly I've gotta hand it to them, it's been rattling around in my head like Beat It for 48 hours.
A close second: the announcer saying "he'll come out right here" when Bam tied Kobe's mark at 81.
He very much did not come out right there! It would've been wild if he did!
I love the announcer mumbling "this is what it's about right now" as Bam spun into the foul that helped him break the record
The Democratic Party is unpopular at this moment. That’s not news and has been obvious. But, pretty reasonable bet that the party would recover its baseline standing - if its leaders in DC led around the values of the party base.
Jon Husted palled around with Epstein’s billionaire sugar daddy, so I guess people living in poverty missed out on that particular “experience”. What a corrupt ass.
I don't want to do a whole long rant on this, so I'll just say: the reason fossil fuels & other aligned incumbents don't want to transition to clean energy is that it will *damage their material interests*. And folks, they understand their own material interests. Really well!
This does suggest new ways for government employees with access to upcoming social media posts to bet in both the stock market and now prediction markets with the benefit of inside information.
This is a laughably inept possession 😂 wild that it resulted in a game-winner. Must be March!
TPUSA's "professor watchlist" and the cadre of students they've deputized to report on their professors and fellow students is the ground operation, but it's the bureaucratic long game that Vought and the Project 2025 folks are carrying out that's the far more substantial threat to US higher ed.
The flopsweat in Trump's posts is so embarrassing. How did we let someone this transparently dumb attain the heights of power
Old globes are the best. It’s educational for kids to learn that this stuff is contingent, not permanent! I grew up in a world with the “USSR” and “Zaire” and “Czechoslovakia” and there are dusty globes in attics and storerooms out there that reflect it.
there is an extremely long list of people who need to be held accountable in the next administration but sending the DOGE boys to big boy jail needs to be near the top of the list
You’d probably need round the clock ISR as well CAP, helos, etc. the biggest problem is that Iran only really needs the *threat* of mining the strait to further spook the markets
We’re winning the messaging battle against Trump’s extreme immigration policies, even while “popularists” who apparently haven’t read the news or the polls since 2024 bleat that we should be more cautious and accommodating
This kind of legislative schedule ⬇️ is just unthinkable today. Multiple bills each day! Amendments! Conference reports! Working six days a week, convening at 8:15 am!!!
DOGE (leftishly)
the issue right now is vested oil interests want to prevent the transition to clean energy, not that clean energy is somehow limited to being less than fossil energy
Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.
We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.
Protection and production. That's how we get to a future where everyone's human right to housing is upheld. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
Not directly related to this, but it reminds me of how many “you should really think about India more like you think about Europe in terms of scale and cultural variance” I’ve had in the last few years
It wouldn't be a problem that these dorks were pickling their brains if we hadn't allowed them to first amass unspeakable wealth and then spend it to shape politics and culture
The Minneapolis rapid responders humbly request that Congress require ICE to use their ostentatiously branded vehicles for all official business
I think I'm numb now to Trump saying these things. But I don't think I'll ever get used to the sound of the audience laughing along with him
the only way Iran has Tomahawks is if Ollie North got the old gang back together
The thing that makes me most pro-natalist is how bitter and backward looking the politics of the developed world are getting as the population ages. We haven’t gotten stability with a greying electorate, we’ve gotten more volatility as there’s increasing hay to be made of grievance-mongering.
There is apparently credible evidence that the president of the United States is a pedophile. The comforting phrase “accused him without evidence” no longer fits this situation, and journalists must resort to the more perfunctory “hasn’t been formally charged.” www.thedailybeast.com/key-details-...
For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.
