Nobody really talks about it anymore. It's such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term: stress-free Sunday night.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

A week into an illegal undeclared war, and there’s no justification, no communication, and no plan for what comes next.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

We could just fall back instead of spring forward. Could fall back every weekend. Time is made up.

Everything the US moves around needs diesel fuel to power the trucks, trains, & boats: food, goods, crops, commodities, everything. Oil products powers ~90% of US transport. It's why we should electrify transport as a national security imperative: to reduce the risk of price shocks to the economy.
