Hilarious that in the same post threatening the media for spreading "hoaxes and distortions," the FCC Chair calls Trump's 1.5 percent margin in 2024 "a landslide election victory."

Re the Hormuz, not saying I'm an expert on the sitch, but are we really too proud to try historically vetted measures like sacrificing a high ranking member of the royal family to propitiate the sea god

If you get the chance, soon, to visit the USS Midway in San Diego, the docents are folks that served on that storied ship. Highly recommended.

Ossoff: "When American service members are returning in flag-draped coffins... this White House treats war like a [videogame].

It's a disgrace... it speaks to the moral rot of this administration."

It's a shame this is where we are as a country.

So basically there’s no way to stop the war with Iran because the president’s word cannot be trusted further than he can be thrown, foreclosing any possibility of peace agreements which nobody but the US could guarantee.

It's geometrically perfect self-fuckery.

The latest run of the European ensemble model has 500 mb heights a week from now around 5960 m over southern AZ. To give some perspective on how insane that is, that would be the orange dot on the SPC graph of Tucson historical 500 mb heights (red line is all-time highest)

I'm glad he is calling all this shit at his direction. He can't avoid having this hung around his bloated neck.

I realize that to people outside the PNW this is just an interesting news item, but if you're in the PNW, where tracking orca pods is a local religion, this is basically like being visited by alien gods

Never seen a scratch from the cast iron, though I'm careful. It is clearly tempered glass as I put a good crack in the corner by setting down an enamelled pot too hard :(

He'd probably say the same thing about a SCOTUS nom.
Neither of which he has any ability to remedy if that 'chance' turned bad.
