Less than two weeks ago, we thought we might lose our pup Truffle due to serious medical issues. Tonight, I think she had the best walk of her life.

I love the idea that *this* US government, which has been nabbing landscapers and five year olds knows where Iranian sleeper cells are but just hasn’t gotten around to doing anything about it yet.

In the last 24 hours, Iran has:

- Struck three ships trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz, disabling a Thai cargo ship
- Blown up a large oil storage facility in Oman
- Struck two oil tankers at harbor in Iraq, setting both ablaze.
- Blown up oil storage tanks next to Bahrain’s main airport

SLEEPER CELL

I was asked where Kell was today, after the pics of Darby & Indy.

Out. Side. 😭

At this point it's barely even a boycott, I've just stopped thinking of Target as a place to buy the things I used to buy at Target.

The president of the United States took Air Force One to Kentucky today to try and unseat a congressman who exposed a child rape ring involving the president and his friends.

How the hell does that get such normal ho-hum coverage?

Oh that’s just Trump. What a rascal.

Wait, I thought tankers were just supposed to *power through" the Iranian attacks?

Amazon may be the owner of Oregon’s largest planned solar and energy storage project The Sunstone Solar Project was originally proposed by North Carolina-based developer Pine Gate Renewables. Amazon acquired the project site after Pine Gate declared bankruptcy.

One of the world’s largest and most valuable companies is one step closer to being the owner of the biggest proposed solar array and battery storage project in Oregon.

I could help contextualize this by sharing links to a bunch of excellent research, but the thing is, you actually don’t need research or to be some kind of brain genius to understand why this is a terrible idea. You just have to think about it for thirty seconds or ask yourself “and THEN what?”

Pentagon Tells Congress First Week of Iran War Cost More Than $11.3 Billion

Reminder: Universal free school lunches costs somewhere between $21-$30 billion a year.

We killed 150 school children a week ago and just got a receipt for $11.3 billion dollars from the Pentagon... I fucking hate it here.

Care to watch the White House correspondent for PBS News Hour as she challenges the president on voter fraud and a "rigged" election?

When we use the term "fact-based," this is what we mean.

"i think he bought the wrong size"

The Trump regime has no idea what it’s doing hour to hour, just in case you thought there was some grand strategy in Iran

I need to hire a balladeer. Anyone know one who can write a slow song about an epic and doomed love story? @lollardfish.bsky.social

Let's see...the U.S. uses around 20 million barrels of oil per day.

172/120 = ~1.43M barrels per day, which would cover ~7% of that.

Gas prices are up ~22% on avg since a month ago.

So I guess the idea is to shave off 1/3 of the price hike to date?

This.

motherfucker learned as a baby developer to just make mouth noises, say whatever the marks needed to hear. regrettably it has served him pretty well.

Major Israeli bombing attacks in Beirut tonight. Really big ones.

And the Times found a sharp partisan skew: “For every dollar donated by billionaires and their immediate families to a candidate or committee associated with Democrats, five dollars went to Republicans.”

The Times study found that “300 billionaires and their immediate family members donated more than $3 billion — 19 percent of all contributions — in federal elections in 2024, either directly or through political action committees.”

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran.
