Scientists have identified a potential new type of planet that has a sulphurous atmosphere and magma oceans evocative of earthly visions of hell. The world known as “L 98-59 d” appears to differ sharply from the rocky and watery realms found on other so-called exoplanets that orbit stars beyond

This AM's @mattyglesias.bsky.social lede is not correct www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/o...

A colossal moron surrounded by yes men.

AUTHERS: “.. logic now points toward escalation .. The Strait of Hormuz is closed, Iran evidently intends to keep it that way, and there is no credible means to claim US victory unless it reopens.” @johnauthers.bsky.social

Hey Pam Bondi how's that working out for you.

🤔

BREAKING: Charlie Kirk arrives at the Oscars.

Legacy media is not up to this moment. Six years ago I started Democracy Docket with its readers not private investors in mind. Now it has more than 400,000 free subscribers and 60,000 paying members. But to protect democracy, it needs to grow and scale. Sign-up now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Yesterday was my sobriety anniversary, won’t say for how long because when I was first in the program people who had two whole weeks gave me hope, but I figured people with a year or more couldn’t be as alcoholic as I was. If you’re new, though, trust me: have hope.

Everything I have in my life should be marked properly of AA. I would not have anything without my sobriety.

Watching the James Woods-hosted All-American Movie Awards tonight where it’s expected that “Melania” will sweep all the categories

House Model Update: 🔵 DEM: 235 (+20) 🔴 GOP: 200 (-20) - March 15, 2026 - (Seat change with 2024 Election) Full article available for Substack subscribers here -> open.substack.com/pub/usapolli...

Okay, Michelle Pfeiffer won; I'm watching. It is so weird how Taylor Sheridan is simultaneously this Man Of the Land made of Carhartt and gasoline and saddle sweat and the scarediest old grandma from 1986 saying "New York?! Everybody has a switchblade and it's nothing but fancy food and snobs!"

Donald Trump has brutally fucked up shit for no fucking reason. This guy is on death’s door and he’s making decisions this country will feel for the next 80 years. A guy who tried to have his own VP killed.

BTW: Shout-out to @the-downballot.com for the 13pt overperformance data. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Trump and Hegseth and the rest of those clowns will keep making excuses while people die, inflation gets worse and the dollar falls. They don’t care about America or Americans. Someone with influence over Trump needs to step in and stop the shit show.

Oof.

Man Who Spat on Allies For a Year Demands the World Clean Up His Catastrophe

Our best bet is to try to turn MAGA, one-by-one, and then try to get MAGA to pressure their legislators. #Talking2MAGA A lot of MAGA people feel betrayed by the Epstein Administration and the 4 Ever wars... #Betrayed

The entire world is enveloped in chaos mostly because of these 10 greedy micropenis’d douchenozzles: Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Benjamin Netanyahu, Rupert Murdoch, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Alex Carp, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, & Jeff Bezos.

NEW: Two senior MOD whistleblowers with inside knowledge of Palantir's systems have come forward to @thenerve.news to say government ministers are ignorant of the grave national security risks the technology poses. Hugely important by @charlienotold.bsky.social www.thenerve.news/p/palantir-t...

If those in support of Trump haven't realized his promises are lies, then you're one of the biggest fools in the world!

Epstein prison guard who was on duty when Epstein was killed, and the last to see Epstein before he died, to sit for closed door testimony on March 26th. 👠

Media won’t report on this! They either don’t want to or can’t!

Trump Tells White Reporter “Immigrants Don’t Have Your Genetics” The blatant racist, bigoted and white supremacy bullshit the felon47 vomits up is absolutely DISGUSTING. 🤯😤🤬

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥

Putin’s Bitch #Trump

This should be FRONT PAGE news, dammit! Every day.

This essay--like so much of Orwell--stands up well. "By ‘nationalism’ I mean the habit of assuming human beings can be classified like insects...[and] of [placing] a single nation beyond good and evil...Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism." www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-f...

God is dead. And you killed Him. Not the atheists. Not the skeptics. You! Christian! Every time you weaponize Scripture, and preach hatred in the name of the Prince of Peace, you bury the very God you claim to defend. Faith dies from hypocrisy. Stop pretending you love God. You only love your ego.

"Thanks for that crack analysis there Pete" - Jen Psaki just now on Hegseth. I'm dead. 🤣 @briefingwithpsaki.bsky.social If you don't watch her check it out, it's a great show. #EpsteinWar #Pinks #ProudBlue

This book is gonna be good.

Just another grift...

The Oscar-nominated screenwriter behind ‘Blue Moon’ has all the theater opinions you’d hope for. ‘I think ‘Oklahoma!’ is corny and embarrassing, actually,’ he tells us.

Iran has killed over 1.2 million Americans. No, sorry, that was the number of Americans *Donald Trump* killed with his incompetent response to COVID.

As a public service, I’d like everyone to know that you are still *legally allowed* to say these 14 factual things about General Q aka Mike Flynn. You’re welcome.

Funny that Trump keeps threatening Iran and they keep laughing in his face 😂

Trump: "Wait until you see tmrw, wait until you see the next day. They're gonna be hit so hard. They're gonna be hit. They can talk all they want, but let's see. So they're gonna maybe do something having to do w/the Straits. I don't know. But they're being hit. It'll take them 20 years to rebuild."

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Trump Says Iran War Will Be Over “When I Feel It in My Bones” Donald Trump claimed the U.S. had enough ammunition to keep the war going “forever.” ...

Can we live in an Austen novel for a bit where the big drama is the neighbors are annoying?

Ida - Ipswich, MA 1999 Ida was a server at a local restaurant and overheard our photography talk and mentioned she was interested in being photographed. This image spent a lot of time in my portfolio back in the day. Kodak 35mm Tri-X pushed two stops.
