Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

Basically, take the amount of money you think your favorite author gets, halve it, and then halve it again, and you have a number that's probably a lot closer to their actual earnings from writing.

"But I don't think they make that much!"

Halve that. Halve it again.

Wisdom from Jesse Jackson’s service yesterday: “You don’t forgive because they deserve mercy. You forgive because you deserve peace. Forgiveness is an emancipation.”

"That's the way it is," says the five-time draft dodger to our military families who fear their loved one in uniform could be next.

What a disgrace.

🇺🇸 🏒 Captain hilary knight : “The joke was distasteful & unfortunate— Now I have to sit in front of you and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility… It’s a great teaching point to really shine light on how women should be championed for their amazing feats.”

One thing we don’t do well, societally or interpersonally, is digest harms when there really isn’t anyone to blame.

Being called a n*gger on international television in front of your peers is a harm.

Having a disability that creates that harm through no choice of your own is a harm.

There are still 3 million Epstein files the government refuses to release. I don't want to think about what might be in those.

Speaking of whistles... it's just a countdown now to see how many hours it takes us to cross 750,000 whistles. Shortly after that we'll cross 500,000 for February.

When @courtneymilan.com told me we were going to ship half a million in February I was like "lol ok" but I should not have doubted her.

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

Liberals say that Trump's plan to steal the 2026 election undermines our democracy. They're wrong—Trump's plan to steal the 2026 election undermines our republic.

Ruling from the Louisiana Supreme Court denying Writ of Certiorari filed by Michael Lunsford and Citizens for a New Louisiana.

Ruling from the Louisiana Supreme Court denying Writ of Certiorari filed by Michael Lunsford and Citizens for a New Louisiana.

Thrilled to announce that Amanda Jones @librarianjones.com has prevailed in her latest court battle against Michael Lunsford & Citizens for a New Louisiana. In a unanimous decision the LA Supreme Court has declined to hear Lunsford's request for dismissal, leaving the 1st Circuit's ruling intact.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

This is Minneapolis.

Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors.
