Usually, jet stream plunges are as mild as a kiddie roller coaster. But now that jet stream is barreling down #near-vertical, scream-inducing drops, followed by #straight-up ascents.
Trump brings out the worst in his followers and they love him for it.
"As of earlier this week, the tornado mapping contract still had not been renewed..."

US legacy automakers will soon become niche gas powered car producers as they turn their backs on EV production.
If you too, are like me, annoyed that you were unable to watch them all before they were taken down. The Data Hoarder Reddit saved them. If you scroll down you can find the torrent link.
"DOJ — which had been known as a place where some of the best lawyers would take a pay cut to work at, because the opportunities for exciting, important work were so plentiful and the colleagues were of such high quality — is not DOJ any longer.
There is no other way to say it."
(NPR) The US Embassy in Baghdad is urging US citizens to leave Iraq, after a drone strike hit the embassy compound in the capital's heavily guarded Green Zone. It would seem that Trump's War is spreading. He can't control it, has no strategy, and has no endgame. Pitiful.

Sen. Warnock: “Despite launching a new war in the Middle East, President Trump has not taken his eye off the ball—
He’s still determined as ever to complete his goal of kicking millions of Americans off of their health care”
“A riveting discussion on humanity”
Trump now reduced to begging other countries, including China, to send warships to help reopen strait of hormuz. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...
Doing systemic racism to eliminate research on systemic racism to make systemic racism easier to hide and deny.
Trump bombing Kharg Island is a “red line” according to Iran. This is the most severe escalation yet that the US just unleashed. Expect Iran to obliterate every US business in the region (at the very least) & potentially go after Gulf oil infrastructure and desalination plants.
Iran war costs so far
*don’t buy into*
Sorry.
The SAVE America Act requires voters to have proof of citizenship with them to vote — not just your driver’s license, but a passport or birth certificate.
This is a Republican attempt at voter suppression — plain and simple.
I don’t think this shit will work but i never want to hear about free speech from any trumpers or anti anti trumpers ever again, fuck off forever bsky.app/profile/cram...
White supremacy is apparently hallucinogenic, cause that is some delusion that she is fantasizing right there. . . #CAUCASITY😶
Here's one bit from my book, The Gutenberg Parenthesis, at the end of a long discussion of Habermas.
Donald Trump on Truth Social on March 7th: The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East. That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer — But we will remember. We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP
Trump Truth Social post on March 14th begging nations (including the UK) to send ships: Many Countries, especially those who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait, will be sending War Ships, in conjunction with the United States of America, to keep the Strait open and safe. We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability, but it’s easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway, no matter how badly defeated they are. Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others, that are affected by this artificial constraint, will send Ships to the area so that the Hormuz Strait will no longer be a threat by a Nation that has been totally decapitated. In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE! President DONALD J. TRUMP
A story in two farcical acts.
Would be nice to have a President who has reached the stage where he has object permanence.
“The homeland?” Please buy into fascist terminology. We, the people of the United States, are now at greater risk.
10/ All of this was totally foreseeable. Frankly, it’s why previous presidents weren’t so stupid to start a war like this.
Trump has lost control of the war. His best course now is to cut his losses and end it. That’s the only way to prevent an even bigger disaster.
9/ CRISIS FOUR: Trump has no endgame. Iran and its proxies can create chaos indefinitely.
So what’s next? A ground invasion?This would be Armageddon. Thousands of dead Americans.
Declare false victory? Then the new Iranian hardliners in charge just rebuild what we destroyed.
8/ Other potential flash points lurk. So far, the Houthis in Yemen have been relatively quiet. Probably not for long. They can project power into the Red Sea.
For Syria, this is the worst time for Trump to strike Iran. Syria could explode again.
7/ CRISIS THREE: A broader, regional war is breaking out as Iranian proxies in Lebanon hit Israel and those in Iraq target the U.S.. Israel is now threatening a massive ground invasion of Lebanon, which could become its own new crisis.
6/ If Trump paid any attention to the Ukraine War he would have noticed how warfare has changed. But he didn’t. And he blundered.
Worse, the Gulf states are running out of interceptors to stop Iranian missiles and drones - meaning that soon more oil sites will be vulnerable.
5/ CRISIS TWO: We can destroy Iran’s missiles but not all their drones, and war today is drone war.
Iran can hit oil sites in the region indefinitely because they posses so many cheap, weaponized drones.
And they are. They blew up a critical Oman oil depot two days ago.
4/ What about naval escorts for tankers? This is a possibility, but it’s harder than you think.
First, it would require our entire navy. 100 tankers need escorting each day.
Second, if we can’t destroy the mines and drones, our ships are at risk too.
3/ Right now, Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait. And a plan may not exist.
The assets Iran uses to harass and attack tankers - thousands of small drones, speed boats and mines - cannot be eliminated. They are too numerous, too spread out and hidden.
2/ CRISIS ONE: Trump believed Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz. He was wrong. And now oil prices are spiking.
If the Strait stays closed, a global recession will result. It actually may already be too late. Gas prices are the first to spike, but food prices are next.
