Ah yes, my favorite childhood game, Hormuzsweeper.

I know so many who would jump at the opportunity! Nicely done.

My opinions here are quite subjective, but I would call $98k a low-range new Steinway.

They actually don't lose their value like a car. You can find a 30-year-old Steinway at a store that was initially $100k at like... $70k.

I worked at an ALF during college and used to play old Cuban tunes for the residents there.

A shocking number of people responding to this video clearly did not watch the video. David is extremely opposed to the Trump administration's terrorization of immigrant communities. He is describing serious problems with the current laws which make accountability difficult.

Which drives me nuts

I feel deeply offended every time I see someone treat a piano like furniture. My hope is that students who can't afford a $50k grand will pick one up on the cheap when these status symbol types eventually sell.

In recent years I found a vintage, American-made baby grand for $100 and it sounds amazing.

New Steinways are wonderful and well worth the money, but this expense was soooo wasteful.

TV anchors are among the strongest candidates possible. Donna Deegan, a former TV anchor, ran the exact playbook en route to flipping the Mayor of Jacksonville. This is going to be a big boost for Florida Democrats

Republicans Try to Craft Their Midterm Pitch Despite Conflicting Iran War Messages House Republicans want to tout tax cuts, but the president’s most recent speech focused on the war in Iran and a voter ID bill.

NEW: Trump and Republicans are not in lockstep on what their 2026 midterm messaging should be

House Rs want to focus on the economy and lowering costs

But Trump is focused on Iran and a voter ID bill

The White House’s Financial Disclosures for Top Officials Are Incomplete Border Czar Tom Homan’s financial disclosure has not been finalized by the federal ethics office.

We don't have a complete picture of senior Trump administration officials’ personal finances — and there’s no telling when we will.

Inside the government's tortured ethics process that's leaving the public in the dark.

Grammarly turned me into an AI editor against my will and I hate it The company tells Platformer it will let experts opt out of the controversial feature — but how different is it than what every other AI company is doing?

Wait, what?! Grammarly made an AI persona of me and all these other journalists?!!!!!

Thank you @caseynewton.bsky.social for shaming them into at least offering a paltry optout— although obviously that is not enough.

Sound familiar?

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

I know we mock this idea a lot but I can only see the DoD post actual footage of bombings in the format of a Call of Duty montage so many times before I think they may have had a point

Not calling a war "a war" is a deliberate act with specific intentions in mind.

Okay, so drop some recs! Tag away

DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--


TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.

When I was in Minneapolis in late January, the person in front of me at a fast food joint ordered a "sprite NO ICE," and he and the attendant laughed nervously, and that little moment has been on my mind for a month.

"Trump support is also leading his supporters to believe that they’re more masculine. This finding wasn’t the goal of the study."
