Is there a bi of hormuz

There was a pretty obvious point in 2024 where everybody with any **power** in this country decided “let’s get Trump back in office and just give him everything he wants and hope for the best” and, well, here we are

Not only did team USA lose to Italy but now we have to do math, which is even worse.

I understand the political theory behind this - “look, we’re on your side re: affordable gas” - I just think it’s a stupid fucking theory

let them touch the stove, press their hand on it good and hard

Post on threads from A’ja: Welp won’t have the highest career high in the house anymore 😭 but at least it gives me something to go after 🤭

As if WNBA teams needed more reasons to fear A’ja Wilson.

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.”

a neil gaiman defender contests a response of 'no' to a link to a substack, and is told 'I see that like Neil Gaiman, you don't understand that no is a complete sentence'

you want to see a murder

If/when a deMAGAfication of US ever occurs it must begin with the Roberts Court without which none of this would be possible

An entire generation has been convinced online that Kobe Bryant was “found innocent,” and I cannot express how much that did not happen.

His victim stopped cooperating with prosecutors because she was getting so much harassment, and he begged her to settle.

I spent 45 minutes trying and failing to convince a full bird Colonel with multiple Afghanistan and Iraq deployments that Afghanistan is not an Arabic speaking country. I was helped in this discussion (to no avail) by two Afghan interpreters who were more polite than I was.

the Forever Wars are still underused for tragicomedy, honestly, but 'Arabic interpreter gets deployed to Afghanistan' is a good starting premise

Not having a plan to demine Hormuz is a ‘no winter clothes to invade Russia’ level planning error

how do you not do this before launching a war on iran

just remembering the time the Washington Post leadership hung my friend Felicia, a sexual assault victim, out to dry because she tweeted *a link to a news story* about the rape when he died.

Incredible stuff on the timeline

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

this conflict is stupid, wrong, and infuriating

Italy beats the USA 8-6

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

doing this without attaching it to a war powers vote is political malpractice

thinking again about the greatest scene in cinema history

i am being absolutely serious here: CENTCOM had one job and it was literally to prepare for an Iran contingency

Matthew Yglesias is poking fun at the White House finally realizing its policy is too unpopular to run on? The guy who spent all of 2025 and until circa February of 2026 arguing Democrats shouldn’t even talk about Trump’s immigration/deportation policy? That Matthew Yglesias?

absolutely dying to investigate this piano purchase

None of them can talk coherently about strategy or goals but they are completely in sync in all their macho posturing because that is all they’re really focused on. Everything else is just whatever limply offered fiction is convenient to them at the time.
