Solid choice.
I’m going to noodle on my bass and pretend the thunder is a short in a PA system 🤷‍♂️

That reminds me: I should probably stock some emergency skivvies in the basement.

Not fantastic.

My 12 y/o is currently freaking out a bit.

Damn it.

I’m in the “don’t sleep naked” zone.

(Guardian) — Iran has spurned two messages from Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, seeking a ceasefire as its leaders sense it is not losing the war and the US president is at the minimum feeling the political pressure.

Sources say Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz

Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say | CNN Politics Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the world’s most important energy chokepoint that carries about one-fifth of all crude oil, according to two people familiar with US intelligence r...

Yesterday Trump's Advisors said Iran didn't have the capacity to start laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Today Iran started laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz. www.cnn.com/2026/03/10/p...

If Iran has laid mines in the Strait of Hormuz, it would be a catastrophe for the global economy.

It would take weeks or months of specialised work to demine the route.

Trump is utterly out of his depth. All of this was long predicted by open source analysis of how a war with Iran could unfold.

(Reuters) - The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now, according to sources familiar ..

Mines are much easier to plant and arm than they are to disarm.

This could have some real long term ramifications that are bad for everyone.

So that’s a thing. 🤷‍♂️

This should calm the oil markets down.

She heard about the 1950’s era Lockheed F-104 Starfighter’s nickname “Widowmaker” and thought “we need an update”

Surprised nobody is wearing sympathy concealer on their right had to be be honest.

A++ skeet.

Marco Rubio is corrupt as fuck.

The core revelation here is that Trump has lost the public *on the mass deportations themselves* and not just on ICE's brutal tactics. We have been arguing this for months but media has simply refused to acknowledge it. Now so obvious that it can't be avoided

CNN: "Cuba officials say will resist Trump's pressure & are willing to fight in spite of Trump's declaration that 'Cuba is going to fall.' There have been serious daily impacts on Cuban life due to Trump oil embargo. Life is getting tougher and they may have to make concessions."#sheshed

I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

“We can take the Russians [or Americans] at their word” is a phrase that should just open up a trap door underneath you, dropping you into a glass box where people laugh and point

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

I wouldn’t be worried about my children being drafted in WWIII?

Sounds sort of great.

ICE agents “immunity” has nothing to do with following the “law” and everything to do with breaking it or ignoring it altogether. Repeatedly.

Surprised anyone in Congress noticed.

Rep. Thomas Massie says Trump called him on the House floor after he pushed to release the Epstein files.
Trump told him three times: "I'm coming at you like you've never seen in your life."

30 days of bombing would cover the ACA subsidies for a full year.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

“.. Nearly seven months ago, Ukrainian officials tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made attack drones .. The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians ..”

This would be easier to believe if they didn’t double tap an elementary school and brag about not following any rules of war.
