It's wild because it's the exact guys who started off with that How Would You Move Mount Fuji silliness years ago. They still haven't figured it out themselves.

one fun thing which Doug Wilson believes is that it is Biblically mandatory -- not optional, but mandatory -- for a Christian society to permit slavery.

I think one thing to consider here is that Nazis frequently lie about their beliefs, and it is part of NYT ideology to never question whether someone is being honest about their self-reported political beliefs

This is an interesting way to say "they gang-raped female prisoner on video and the Israeli government thinks that's ok."

I have suspected for awhile that we are already seeing the violence that runs downstream of (mostly) privileged (mostly) men with gambling addictions. And it will only get worse.

Everything will, in the end, have been about crypto and fossil fuels and we are mostly just casualties. Sigh.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Oil Shock Sends Tremors Through World Economy: β€˜This Really Is the Big One’

"Oil Shock Sends Tremors Through World Economy: β€˜This Really Is the Big One’:
Countries already walloped by a breakdown of the international trading order, war in Ukraine and chaotic U.S. policymaking are facing potentially lasting economic damage." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/b...

Big Wall St banks saying oil flows will be back to normal in a few days, then revising to a few weeks followed by a full recovery, made me think of the part of the Big Short where Michael Burry accuses the banks of waiting to mark down mortgage-backed securities until they’ve exited their positions.

Could the war in Iran trigger a global economic crisis? | The Economist Insider When will the Iran war end? Donald Trump has offered contradictory answers: he says America’s mission in Iran is β€œvery complete”, may β€œgo further” and also β€œdepends”. Yet if America’s president declar...

The latest episode of @economist.com's Insider show looks at the war in Iran, how long it might last & how serious this could get for the world economy. It was a really sobering conversation, and consensus was that markets are still mispricing the risk. www.economist.com/insider/the-...

Armed man rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue and was fatally shot by security, AP source says A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into a major synagogue in a Detroit suburb and was fatally shot by security.

A guy rammed his car through a door at Detroit’s largest synagogue and got out with a gun and was shot by security before he could massacre everyone inside.

And yes all synagogues that can afford it have security. And yes it’s exactly because of situations like this that they do.

In a matter of hours, we'll likely see Maryland and Georgia with diesel prices over $5/gal- these are the highest diesel prices nationally since 2022.

The Trump WH is starting to reap what it has sown in terms of screwing over counterparties:
-Iran can't trust a negotiated settlement so why reach one?
-Ds in Congress can't trust Trump to follow the law so why bargain w/him?
-Universities see past deals leading to future shakedowns so why make one?

We've seen another morning of increased ICE activity with DHS helicopter out and about in Chicagoland.

Feds have taken people from Humboldt Park and Ravenswood. Vehicles also seen in Rogers Park. ICE watchers are asking north side neighbors to get outside and keep an eye on landscapers & laborers.

Tweet from Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz:
Justice has been done.

I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them.

This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled.

The role of the IDF's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas.

I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path.

The Defense Minister of Israel says it was "blood libel" to go after Israeli soldiers caught on camera raping a Palestinian.

Pains me to say it, but the world should definitely boycott the World Cup. Would be great if U.S. soccer players and institutions took the lead in calling for this.
