Tragic.

First the Hotel Okura, then Nakagin Capsule Tower, and now the Kagawa Prefectural Gymnasium β€”Japan keeps destroying its Modernist architectural masterpieces for the slimiest of pretexts: property redevelopment.

What do they all have in common?

They've all spoken out about Ticketmaster ripping off fans.

But Trump just gave Ticketmaster the equivalent of a corporate pardon.

It's a betrayal of every fan in America.

You can’t expect a treasonous 5x draft dodging trashy criminal to properly and respectfully honor the fallen troops that he’s responsible for killing. I truly hate him.

CBS: If you could tell the American public the US definitively did not bomb that elementary school in Iran, you would tell us, wouldn't you?

HEGSETH: I would say it's being investigated, which is the only answer I'm prepared to give

Cosmically, there is something very darkly funny about spending an entire decade of American politics obsessed with repudiating the mistakes of the Iraq War, and then immediately doing it again at the first opportunity, but with even less justification, planning, strategy, or foresight.

In first, CIA acknowledges 1953 coup it backed to overthrow leader of Iran was undemocratic While other American officials have made similar remarks in the past, the acknowledgment by the CIA in a podcast about the agency’s history comes as much of its official history of the coup still rema...

I wonder what percentage of Americans knows that the CIA helped overthrow a democracy in Iran in 1953, installing a brutal dictator who tortured and murdered people. Republicans keep citing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as if that was the start of U.S.-Iran hostilities. Go back 26 years earlier.

To clarify this: the context is college sports. Trump is saying that Russia helping Iran target Americans in a war is less important than the pay structure for athletes. (1/3)

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

WSJ: 181 of the 279 β€œpeople accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year” are U.S. citizens.

How an Oil Crisis Becomes an Everything Crisis The 1973 oil embargo showed how a shock to energy supplies can unravel economies, upend politics and make fear a force as powerful as war itself.

The 1973 oil embargo triggered inflation, political turmoil and global upheaval. As the Iran war now threatens energy markets again, history shows how quickly an oil crisis can ripple into everyday life.

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

Iran condemns US attack on Iranian desalination plant, issues a veiled threat - TΓΌrkiye Today Iran strikes US naval base in Bahrain's Jufair in retaliation for US attack on a desalination plant on Iran, as Tehran warns US set a precedent

Across the Persian Gulf coastline from Iran sit more than 400 desalination plants operated by Gulf Cooperation Council states.
In Kuwait, approximately 90% of drinking water comes from desalination; in Oman the figure is 86%, in Saudi Arabia 70%, and in the UAE 42 %.

Trump is thirsty for karma.

I suspect Hegseth/Miller think a silent majority will rally to zero-sum nationalism (tariffs), treating all immigrants as criminals, and a kill-first-think-later military posture (what Hegseth calls the β€œwarrior ethic”). It's a big deal that this isn't happening. 6/

"There are hundreds of millions of sanctioned barrels of sanctioned crude on the water. And in essence, by unsanctioning them, Treasury can create supply."
