Iran: We will blockade the straits of Hormuz if you attack us. Donald: No, WE will blockade the straits of Hormuz unless you surrender to us. Iran: Ok. That might save us some trouble tbh.

Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

#Swalwell DROP OUT Sheesh. How f’n disappointing. The bar for male politicians is to not be a predatory creep. It’s so low. And yet he couldn’t clear it. Buh bye. Don’t let the Golden Gate hit you on your ass on your way out.

There is no McTry.

the orb is screaming at me in tongues

This is a thing I've had to deal with a lot, people will say about a guy I reported on "oh well at least he apologized." In all cases, the guy Did. Not. Apologize. Sometimes they've used what I call "remorse-shaped phrases" that are not & never were actual apologies. Which seem to always get a pass🙃

finally!

This is the parallel universe that all the other ones make fun of

Personally I think when a world leader announces “Tune in tonight at 8pm Eastern to watch the world end” like it’s the fucking season premiere of Roseanne we should have a different leader the next day.

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

This is the most Philadelphia post I’ve read that didn’t involve Gritty (Unless…)

Call me controversial, but I think Trump "chickening out" of starting a nuclear war is good.

The Mail is now calling Trump "unhinged" on its front page, having said it was "deluded" to not back him

My new outgoing phone message: “Hi, you’ve reached my voicemail. At the tone, please leave your name and number and— oh, wait. That’s you on the other line. Perfect. Hang up here, and I’ll pick up over there.” Zero voicemails. Five stars.

BREAKING: Trump thought the moon was getting too much attention.

You know the economy is getting bad when middle aged white men on traveling salesman salaries can only afford the one family

One thing about me is I'm absolutely against wiping out an entire civilization

Data Centers: not popular

The most unrealistic part of Project Hail Mary is that someone actually read his dissertation.

Hey, America.

like all of you, I am truly shocked that a 34-count convicted felon, pedophile, and five-time draft dodger who made hush money payments to a porn star and incited an insurrection against his opponents at the U.S. Capitol would also engage in war crimes against foreign countries

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

It’s really nice to see the very best of us on display at a time when it feels like the very worst of us are in control. Hard to find hope sometimes but this makes me feel hopeful.

Another banger from Iran (literally a sentence. I never thought I’d type). Maybe the Iranian Lego Diss Track folks will host the Super Bowl next year.

If that's true, at this point, it wouldn’t even crack the top 217 weirdest things that somehow turned out to be real this year.

I just started taking a class on how to write obituaries and the teacher died after the first lesson so like, goodbye to that guy, I guess?

Cars today are 99% cleaner than in 1970, thanks in large part to California forcing tougher pollution rules that reshaped the auto industry. The Trump administration is attacking California’s legal permission to set tougher standards. theconversation.com/how-californ...

In a healthy democracy the government would have collapsed by now and instead we've got at best just over 7 months to know if there will be electoral consequences and until january for them to start to take effect

TOM STEYER STOP RUNNING ADS ON STREAMING AND JUST GIVE THE MONEY TO MUTUAL AID FUNDS CHALLENGE

This is big, this merger would give the local TV station group that took Jimmy Kimmel off the air 265 stations stretching across 80% of the country. They tried to quickly close the merger even though the states challenged it first. Tegna broadcasts were signing off local news with the Nexstar logo.

"Almost 4 weeks into a war w/Iran started w/o input from Congress by a president who's contemplating sending soldiers to fight in a conflict he's eager to put in the rearview mirror. Trump 'is getting a little bored with Iran…Not that he regrets it or something—he’s just bored + wants to move on.'"

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two: 1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines. 2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

The Rothschild raid just got bigger. French prosecutors say diplomat Fabrice Aidan transferred UN Security Council briefings to Epstein. Epstein had access to classified international intelligence. This is no longer about money. This is about state secrets
