Pete Hegseth missed his true calling as an angry muppet on Sesame Street.

Everything Trump Touches Dies: Oil Edition Futures curves and Fed rate cuts.

"If your kid was in the armed services and you watched Pete Hegseth doing his WAR! schtick, what would you think? If it was me, I’d be sick to my stomach seeing that my child’s life was in the hands of a man with low character and lower intelligence."

Palantir’s lethal AI weaponry deployed to find chairs for US government staff As Department of Agriculture staff come back to the office, it needs ‘real-time analytics to optimize employee seat assignments’ The U.S. Department of Agriculture is using Palantir to figure out where its staff should sit, after deciding only the colorful AI company can do the job.…

ICYMI: Palantir’s lethal AI weaponry deployed to find chairs for US government staff

While US military claims Iranian missile-launching capacity is being radically degraded, Israel’s N12 News reports of “wave after wave of launches from Iran” [my translation].

Today was a special day. As I walked through My Lai, just after sunrise, an old man called out and invited me inside his house. It turned out to be Do Ba - the small child that Hugh Thompson, Larry Colburn and Glen Andreotta saved on March 16, 1968.

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

The fact that a Koch Brothers-funded front group is attacking @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and me over our book #ScienceUnderSiege (bookshop.org/p/books/scie...) is such an amusing, unintentional affirmation of what we have to say about who is behind the right-wing war on science!

I did forget to be grateful to the Regime today.

The long arm of Carthage. Cato is absolutely fuming right now.

The war on lobsters.

I’m great at multitasking, provided I take it one thing at a time.

Hegseth threatens to devote his next press conference to the production of extremely masculine grunting and whooping noises if Iran has not surrendered by then.

The headline that highlights the absurd form of American fascism we now live with:

Breaking: Trump names the Pillow Guy as Supreme Leader of Iran.

Hegseth clarifies that the objectives have been clear from the start and that only the President can clarify what they clearly are.

Is ruthless precision more precise than precise precision?

Didn’t watch it, but have heard that Trump’s press conference was no Gettysburg address.

Schrödinger’s war.

Putin promised to only help the Iranians target Americans who didn’t vote for Trump.

oh my goodness -- watch Mike Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and McClain clap like seals for Trump for nearly two minutes straight. None of them want to be the first to stop!

I can't compete with this.

We’re living through an extended Monty Python skit, except with a nuclear superpower as the set.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

37 percent of workers ("Arbeiter") voted for the AfD in today's state election in Baden-Württemberg. THIRTY-SEVEN PERCENT. [Cough, cough.]

I remember it well.

If chest-thumping is the key to victory, Trump and company have the situation well in hand.

Donald J. Trump Y @realDonald Trump Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly when the destruction of the Iran nuclear threat is over, is a very small price to pay for U.S.A., and World, Safety and Peace.
