Trump admin's assessment of Iran's research reactor "was laden with 'technical errors.' 'It mixes up different elements of the nuclear program and their potential proliferation capabilities.…Research reactors are not capable of doing enrichment of uranium, whether for civil or military purposes.'"

Australia is a signatory to the Moon Agreement. So why are we not spearheading a campaign to establish an international regime to regulate the exploitation of lunar resources according to Article 11.5?

Most rational people reject the dopey Luddite nostalgia of the antivax movement. We don’t need to let nature take its course with our food, either:

Every concerned American should be willing to sacrifice 48 minutes to hear the entire list of damning evidence linking #Trump with #Epstein, #Russia, and the rape of little girls. bsky.app/profile/blab...

Not great. Suboptimal, even.

War crimes confession.

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

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.

We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we won’t thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.

Cool video on Fourth Power's thermal battery. Incredible stuff.

I'm not sure if the average Dem or even the average climate type has really caught on to the fact that ALL the big money guys in DC are absolutely banking on a huge renaissance of natural gas demand. They are looking at more gas, more pipelines, more more more, with no upper limit. They're giddy.

The exodus of grown-up journalists from CBS continues.

BREAKING NEWS: Operations Directorate of the Syrian Arab Army affiliated with the Syrian Ministry of Defense: • 📌 Artillery shells have landed on Syrian territory near the town of Serghaya, west of Damascus. The shells were fired from Lebanese territory. 🧵

“The installation wasn’t announced, had no ceremony and no camera crews were present, The Washington Post reported. Instead, it was bolted to a wall by Capitol staffers at 4 a.m. near an entrance on the west side that is not open to the public, the outlet reported.” people.com/jan-6-plaque...

Well that’s a clear and definitive answer (not): “We could call it a tremendous success right now, as we leave here I could call it. Or we could go further. And we’re gonna go further.“

President Trump says in his phone call today with President Putin the Russian leader expressed he “wants to be helpful” in the Middle East and Trump says he told him, ‘You could be more helpful by getting the Ukraine-Russia war over with.’”

Apple picking in the fall is an "excursion." Seven Americans are dead.

Very much on top of it? Sure, Jan.

As the cost of oil increases due to the Iran War, the cost of materials to convert these warehouses into concentration camps will only increase in turn in the form of fuel surcharges and more expensive materials.

In a Friday letter to President Donald Trump, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto laid the blame of layoffs and reduction in patient services at Boulder City Hospital at the feet of Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill Act. thenevadaindependent.com/article/cort...

TikTok is becoming a new hub for the “True Crime Community” (TCC), an online fandom that glorifies mass killers through memes and AI-generated videos. As the subculture has migrated from platforms like Tumblr, its networks have been linked to a growing number of recent plots and attacks. Read more:

Lindsey is pissy that the Saudis don't want to become full belligerents in the war that Lindsey started with little consultation with the Saudis.

Trump openly lies about the bombed girls school. As Americans we make mistakes in war but they are unintentional and we own them. Trump blaming Iran is no different than what Putin does when he blames Ukraine for attacks Russia clearly does. We’ve become accepting of pure lies

ANALYSIS: Jarosław Kaczyński has named hardline former education minister Przemysław Czarnek as Law and Justice’s (PiS) candidate for prime minister ahead of next year’s parliamentary election, signaling a decisive shift by the party toward the radical right.

Iran is in the 10th day of the second internet shutdown of 2026. Within the small amount of traffic that continues to trickle out of Iran since Feb-28, several networks experienced further drops in traffic volume on Mar-5 possibly due to airstrikes. #IranWar #DigitalBlackoutlran

Remember the people who spoke truth & those who lied to you. All the people who weren’t just wrong, but were weapons-grade wrong, yet somehow still have platforms & get listened to still. Look for those who kept being right & stop falling for the hubris lies & grift of idiots, grifters & traitors.

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

Extremely niche educational technology complaint that probably doesn't apply to very many other people: I teach at 3 universities this spring. They all use Canvas. I cannot be logged into the Canvas app for all schools at the same time. And if you swap back and forth too often it freaks out.

Tech giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, Oracle all poured money into large-scale facilities across the Persian Gulf, including data centers to power their enormous bets on artificial intelligence. The war with Iran threatens to undermine that cozy business relationship. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/b...

This is why I find it interesting that, in the week after this person (the 7th US service member killed in Trump's illegal war), DOD never managed to evacuate them to Ramstein to treat injuries suffered on March 1.

The people of Iran deserve freedom, dignity, and the right to decide their own future. Even if we know this will be fraught with danger and instability during and after the war.

How are you supposed to just work and pretend things are normal when you’re grieving the death of a parent? Some days I wake up and all I want to do is go back to bed and cry all day.

I’ve lost both my parents and I think we should bring back black armbands, so people know to leave you the Hell alone, or excuse sudden mood swings.

Gas prices in Canada have surged to 155.2c/L, up nearly 20c/L in a week and could rise to 165-175c/L by later this week with diesel already at 196.2c/L, diesel will spike to 205-220c/L this week.

Gasoline spot prices up 22-27c/gal Diesel spot prices up 33-38c/gal Intraday rack increases are likely coming, and stations are likely to start pushing these increases on to their fuel pumps today as they see it in their cost.
