Apparently this company has been in business for 100 years. I’m guessing that’s because it takes them that long to get rid of your pests using whatever that guy is holding.

The first picture is from the outside of the main FBI building. The second is the main Justice Department building across the street.

The package on the right is 13.5 ounces. The package on the left is 13.5 ounces.

An “S”?!? What’s up with that?

Fluffly?

And add Canada to this growing list of countries issuing travel warnings for the U.S..👇

This is a fantastic point -- I think it better describes why I'm emphatically opposed to LLMs replacing front line government staff. The problems you could run into at a field office for almost any service can get *weird* and it's super easy for an LLM to mess it up. #civictech

The Trump administration announced that it would be freezing over $175 million in federal funding to Penn on March 19, citing the University's failure to bar transgender athletes from women's sports. www.thedp.com/article/2025...

This is ridiculous

Explore how Rice University is advancing carbon nanomaterials for climate technology in my conversation on the Beyond The Hedges podcast about DexMat's revolutionary Galvorn and the future of sustainable materials.

Collaborators with the fascists.

Senator Mark Kelly is getting rid of his Tesla, saying, “I don’t want to be driving a car built and designed by an asshole.” This comes just days after Elon Musk called the astronaut and decorated veteran a “traitor” for supporting Ukraine.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law: “It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Just thinking about what the US looked like before the EPA existed

AOC slammed Mike Johnson, saying: “You run the government. If you have the votes, then go ahead. If you need Democrats, then you need to negotiate with Democrats. Those are your two options. Blaming someone else because your shoes are untied isn’t one.”

I live in a blue bubble. Things aren’t going to get better until this graph changes.

The funniest thing about all this is Joe Biden built a "bring back US manufacturing" button and Trump could have just kept pressing it but instead he insisted on smashing the "crash the stock market" button

If it's not fully setting in how ominous this is, try reading it this way:

I had to bring this here because it’s so good

Wasserman Schultz: "I think this important fact should sink in for everyone: Donald Trump, in his first month in office, has fired more veterans than any president in history."

Which US state has the most billion dollar weather and climate disasters? It’s not California and it’s not Florida - it’s Texas. As this article explains, the only state subject to more wildfires than Texas is California. Texas even leads California in acreage burned.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress. No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States. Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

Protestors met JD Vance in Vermont when he went to vacation there today. This is a good one:

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

The roof is open today at the Ice Box for the Owls and the Vols.

what a day

The Atlanta Fed's GDPNow forecast for the first quarter was just revised to show a contraction at a 1.5% annual rate. This would be the first quarterly contraction in the economy since the first quarter of 2022. The forecast was slashed from an expansion at a 2.3% rate …

How it started / How it’s going

No matter how you slice it, US police officers are safer on the job and paid way more than other countries' police The critical question isn't more police vs. less police. It's why are US police paid so much while doing such little police work? From my paper w/ Mickey & Ziblatt

I will admit that things look bleak. We went to see Chris Hayes last night and he said that although we are in the midst of a crisis in which one side wants to put in place a "presidentialist dictator", he is ultimately hopeful about the future of our country. 1/x

Anti-Musk sentiments continue to rise worldwide. Tesla’s reputation continues to fall. #EndOligarchy #BoycottTesla

A month ago, the idea that the new German chancellor would talk about "independence from the US" would have been unbelievable

Germany’s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: Look at what Musk has done recently in terms of interventions in the German elections. That is an unprecedented event. The interventions from Washington were no less dramatic, drastic and ultimately brazen than the interventions we had from Moscow...

Germany’s likely new chancellor Friedrich Merz: And for me, the absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that we step by step to also truly achieve independence from the USA. I would not have believed that I would have to say something like this on TV...

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Rice lost a really close game tonight (they were down one with 1 second to play and missed both free throws), but I got another T-shirt. So I got that going for me.

It’s a cold day at Reckling with the Owls up 6-0 in the ninth over Sam Houston.

spotted on the european side of the internet:

The Owls are up by 28 points in the fourth quarter and I got a free T-shirt.

1,000 arrests a day sounds like a lot. At this rate, it will take the Trump administration 60 years to deport the supposed 22 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.

My latest on The Climate Brink: No, renewables don't need expensive backup. In fact, renewables push the most expensive fossil fuel producers out of the market, saving money for the economy. www.theclimatebrink....

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who is in the running to serve as health and human services secretary, revealed he was carrying up to $1.2 million in credit card debt in recent financial disclosures, per CNBC.
