If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
can't help but notice whose losses are expressed in dollars and whose losses are expressed in lives

Trump: Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. Spain actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's all right. We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it.
We are being led by mad christofascists who bombed Iran to bring about the book of Revelation oh joy.
For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!
We just not so long ago saw trump depict the Obamas as apes, but ok🙄
In case you're wondering how some sectors of the Christian right are seeing Trump's war in Iran, I've just read several articles seeing a prophetic meaning in a coincidence of Trump's strikes, the assassination of Khameni, and a blood moon occurring on Purim (tomorrow).
in which I attempt to summarize the current moment

Never forget who you’re fighting for.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
it's a neverending farrago of shite
Never gets old.
“The Brits and Americans were saying it was going to happen…But the French and Germans were telling him: ‘Don’t listen to this, it’s all nonsense.’”

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement
Every news story is now “State Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were ‘blindsided.’”
yikes. I would read that paper
Schmittian as in Carl Schmitt???
The phrase “who is responsible for the deaths of st least 9.4 million people” should appear inside commas every time the names of Musk, Vought, Trump and Rubio are mentioned. They perpetrated a mass slaughter.
The Cabinet this week
*RFK Jr. bragged about snorting cocaine off of a toilet seat
*Lutnick acknowledged taking his family to Epstein island
*Bondi “The Dow” / refuses to look at victims
*Noem blanket
*Hegseth loses to Kelly, tries to tweet through it
*Bessent “tariffs don’t cause inflation”
a reporter could get trump to confess to everything by asking him if he just wasnt famous enough to go to the island, just say youve heard he “never had the juice”
I didn’t even know that I needed this but I really really did. 🥹✊🏾
Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
Just take a look at this and remember, Pam Bondi's concern here was not with any of the victims of these crimes but with the nosy Democrats who actually gave a shit about them.
US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."
New StarTalk episode I did with @chucknicecomic.bsky.social and Neil Tyson just dropped.

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."
Genuine question: why don't I see NYT and WaPo reporting of the six men in the files named by Raskin and Massie on the house floor? Guardian is running with them, why not NYT?
“But I didn’t understand a word he said.” Guess what, that’s the experience of many immigrants when they arrive in a new country, including the United States. You get humbled. Then you work hard and start understanding. We could all use that experience
