Trump said they were basically destroyed, and he seems to have never considered they don’t feel the same way and have every motivation to prove they’re not only still here but have strength in ways the international community can not ignore.

I don't know how this will all play out or what happened but I can tell you that what Hegseth is hoping is that you blame "AI" and not a department whose leadership believes that the reason we don't win wars is we care too much about collateral damage.

weanesday March 11. 2026 Drawing of a cargo ship on fire The Pentagon told congress that the first 6 days of war with Iran cost $11.3 billion. The war now in its 12th day has no clear objectives, continues to expand in impacts, and has already Killed thousands of civilians, destroyed critical infrastructure including energy, housing, and water facilities, caused it to rain oily ash on Tehran and displaced 800,000 in Lebanon. Today after Trump bragged that Iran's ability to lay mines of control the strait of Hormuz was basically destroyed, Iran proved otherwise when it bombed 3 Cargo ships. (one it hit was in the strait two in the gulf). The US and also the Internationed Energy Agency have agreed to release 400 million barrels from the strategic reserve as oil prices remain above $100 a barrel causing concern it could crash the global economy. Iran has threatened, US and Israeli banks so citi and HSBC are closing local offices. US also at fault for killing school girls

Drawing of the Day:
Trumps spending billions on war with Iran that spirals out of control without clear objectives, a rising death toll, environmental and social impacts, and the global economy hangs in the balance

Bluesky hits Capitol Hill (and Jimmy Kimmel)

A big tent doesn’t mean you’re holding the microphone it means you’re in the room impacting the vibes at the circus. We’re all still focused on the main stage

Not gonna lie this would be a great children’s book

You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.

the president of the united states just said he found out the country he started a war with had boats sometime after he started that war

I’m sure target wants to believe this but as someone who deleted the app and hasn’t gone into a target to shop since they caved- they’re gonna have to do a lot more to regain trust before they can have my dollars.

This is so so upsetting. So Grammerly is violating the memory of bell hooks AND making AI versions of the rest of us before we're even dead. Someone tell me who to sue, not even joking.

Are we sure he’s not a kid in an adult body line Tom Hanks in Big? He doesn’t seem to have mentally progressed beyond adolescence

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

Warren: "It is still the case that the Trump admin cannot explain the reasons we entered this war, the goals we're trying to accomplish. The only part that seems clear is that while there is no money for 15m Americans who lost their healthcare, there's a billion a day to spent on bombing Iran."

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

So many average citizens have stood up to Trump.

Alex Pretti went to the street to protect his fellow humans, who the Trump regime was harming. He lost his life for it. Renee Good lost her life for resisting.

And sorry, but—these fucking cowards in the Senate can’t vote against Trump nominees?

An intrinsically motivated person will write or draw or program or whatever, even without any other reward. It'd be hard as hell to even stop them.

An extrinsically motivated person will stop doing it the moment they can't get rewarded for the output.

GenAI makes it easier than ever for an extrinsically motivated person to attempt, badly, at skipping past all the boring stuff that is *the* reward for intrinsically motivated people.

They'll proudly produce a mound of dogshit in a sweaty hope that someone will buy it.

My hand is hurting a bit so both drawing and typing hurt more than normal so pardon the lack of detailed alt text. If anyone wants to do that for me go for it 🙃

The thing that I don't think they've fully grasped is because we've had two nearly three generations of adults who have been vaccinated, people are going to realize pretty quickly shit is bad when suddenly their kids are dying.

They want to bring back polio. Coooooooooooooool.

Flashback to the 2024 Republican National Convention 👇🏽

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.

All anyone is discussing is how fast gas supply & gas infrastructure can be expanded to meet AI demand. You will not hear the word "climate" uttered in any of those rooms; none of those guys are even pretending to give a shit any more. Boom times, boom mentality.

I'm not sure if the average Dem or even the average climate type has really caught on to the fact that ALL the big money guys in DC are absolutely banking on a huge renaissance of natural gas demand. They are looking at more gas, more pipelines, more more more, with no upper limit. They're giddy.

"man, daylight saving time really hit me hard this year," i say, as the sundowning white christian nationalist president rambles about how it's "fun" to sink military ships in a war of aggression he opened by bombing a school on my television

Okay what happened in the last week - I’ve been unplugged a lot more than usual - what insanity beyond the literal top headline did I miss? (I know Trump and Netanyahu are bombing the children out of Iran and oil sites, and Iran is in turn sending drones to US and Israeli interests) any other news?

A few crying moments when we were about to reach altitude but the at least a dozen kiddos under 4 did first rate! I hope they all have an amazing night and aren’t too jet lagged from the travel

AOC came out swinging against age verification legislation and somehow the entire tech press seems to not have noticed?

Either they’re very dumb to have that strategy or they’re cravenly trying to kiss ass with giving him softball coverage to get something and thus are immoral and spineless. Either isn’t inspiring
