Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

My succinct Strait of Hormuz synopsis:

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Realizing that some of my inexplicable sadness about the Artemis II stuff is that it feels like a trans-dimensional communication from an America that took a different path and chose joy instead of fear and hate.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

This Reddit post is formatted like a joke but it’s actually a very dry recitation - at times, direct quotes - of America’s public war strategy over the last month. This can’t go on. This is deranged. Impeach and imprison.

my dearest motherfuckers, your votes matter. eatf.art/vote

When Republican Rep. Mary Miller started a sentence in 2021 with “Hitler was right …” it was a sign that racism was a key characteristic of Republicans in Congress. My free Stop the Presses newsletter cites more than a dozen examples of bigotry by GOP lawmakers. Major media need to highlight this.

They keep stealing shit from the people they detain. Remember how they took that kid’s cell phone and sold it for cash? Just straight up lawless gangsters

President Trump to be awarded the PGA Peace Prize.

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️ It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

The US media is the only environment that treats this administration as normal and rational. The combination of the fear of being labeled as liberal and oligarchic money has castrated our fourth estate completely. Thank goodness we can at least access world news from other countries.

"As Republicans have told the American people repeatedly since the Iran war began, for no apparent reason, we must all sacrifice," writes columnist @rexhuppke.bsky.social. bit.ly/4rQ50Y3 📸: Evelyn Hockstein/Reuters

It's amazing to me that this point has been obvious for well over a decade and folks are still discovering it.

As US politicians campaign for this year’s elections—and look ahead to the 2028 presidential contest—they need to take data center opposition seriously as a salient issue, writes Ben Green. The opportunity is substantial, particularly for Democrats, he says.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

Find something in your life that you are as passionate about as Pete Hegseth is passionate about committing war crimes.

Suahuatica, I salute you

having used claude extensively for the past couple of months, i think there is still a lot of value to understanding your code and steering it intentionally. the amount of incidental complexity claude accumulates otherwise (which mostly results in bugs that it can't ever fix reliably) is staggering.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

This should be a front-page scandal.

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable." Full interview: zeteo.com/p/moulton-ic...

The async and await keywords in C# are implemented using a state machine that the compiler generates. So the JIT (Just-In-Time compiler) has to no idea about…

Absolutely enraging. ICE kidnapped a 16 year old child in Mpls, refused to let him go home, sent him to a youth shelter in Michigan and LOST TRACK OF HIM. The family’s lawyer used an investigator to trace a phone call and locate him. (🎁 link) www.startribune.com/how-ice-labe...

In Quakertown, PA, up to 50 students walked out in protest of ICE, despite attempts by school authorities to stop demonstrations. Students were violently attacked when the police chief put one student in a choke hold as police made several arrests. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

It’s a very sad thing how Donald talks like a dull fifth/grader.

This the skeleton key that explains the entire left-of-center political and informational environment. There is no social reward for ever saying anything nice about a mainline Democrat, so no one does. As a result, baseless antipathy towards the party completely pervades the environment.

The Craven Broadcasting System thought it better to cower from Brendan Carr rather than air this thoughtful Colbert interview with @jamestalarico.bsky.social. It was fifteen minutes well spent this morning to watch it. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A
