Hey, there are still 17 kids who haven't been charged with child sex abuse. Only 11 percent of the Duggar children are pedos!

i bet it all on "will the strait of hormuz open by april" on polymarket. desperate, i launch a solo mission to open the strait. piloting a boat down the persian gulf, i immediately get blown up by a mine and die. "first person to get blown up by a mine in the strait of hormuz" pays out on march 31st

The US is attacking Iran. Russia is helping Iran target US forces. For all we know Russia is co-responsible for the deaths of US soldiers. And yet Trump has made Russia the main winner of the war thus far by lifting oil sanctions. I can’t think of anything like this.

Craig Jones is such a wonderfully eloquent and fundamentally decent person. A true man of principle. The kind of guy we desperately need right now.

ok well good news for anyone who isnt a consumer i guess

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Steps in Trump war rhetoric: 1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war 2. We won the war 3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won 4. No fair

Ukraine is holding back Russia and thus fulfilling the entire traditional mission of NATO without any soldiers or sailors from other countries. Trump is meanwhile demanding NATO allies leave the continent they are supposed to be defending to join him in a doomed adventure he chose in the Middle East

My experience, fwiw: When people in authority yell at you not to panic...panic.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

I regret to inform America that this was just posted by the HHS Secretary.

The Strait of Hormuz is perfectly safe...

Oh this is one of those observations that’s going to stick with me for a long time

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.

Noem's one-minute $220 million ad cost more than nearly every film nominated for Best Picture at the upcoming 2026 Academy Awards: * Frankenstein * Marty Supreme * Sinners * Bugonia * Hamnet * Train Dreams * Sentimental Value * The Secret Agent

It's not about messing up it's about what you do about it 1/2

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

and this good challenge, from Shelley's "Poetical Essay on the Existing State of Things" (1810-1811): "And shall no patriot tear the veil away Which hides these vices from the face of day?"

"England 1819" = US 2026. King George III = Donald Trump "An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King; Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow Through public scorn--mud from a muddy spring; Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know, But leechlike to their fainting country cling." --Shelley

Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.

It's kinda wild how the US Dept of Labor fully understands farmers are business owners & management. (That's how farmers are classed in labor stats.) But somehow, "Farmers own a business & property, that means we're mgmt!" is still total news to lots of the folks who Care A Lot About Labor. 🤷‍♀️

Enrique Tarrio and other Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump pardoned them. Tarrio and his men planned the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Tarrio even claimed credit for it, messaging others: “Make no mistake…We did this…” Now he’s meeting with Sec. Rubio.

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

Good, I see the council is assembled. We have mews from the outer rim to discuss.

This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students — and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as “cut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

Orwell at his very best could never come up with some of this. Proactively in a defensive way is basically a line from a coen bros film.

"No stupid rules of engagement" is how you shoot down three of your own F-15s in one day. Just a shocking display of martial ineptitude.

I bet it was nice to live in one of those years or even decades that future history books barely even bother writing about.

How is ANYONE still treating Trump like he’s a normal person much less politician. Why did he do it? He’s a demented monster. This is settled law

Timeline clense

Would be fun to ask Mr Jones how he thinks the Shah won power

You know, it was a regime, not just one guy There not going to give up and start singing like the soldiers in THE WIZARD OF OZ

As US and Israeli bombs fell on Iran this weekend, bettors on Polymarket — where $529 million was traded on contracts tied to the timing of the strikes — were cashing in
