Why would Iran relinquish control of a strait the US can’t take from it or a nuclear program the US can’t stop? Iran has INCREASED its demands from before the war, because we’ve proven we are incapable of defeating the country in the ways we care about. Maybe the greatest US humiliation in history.

I firmly believe that nearly everyone massively underestimates the amount of inauthentic posting on social media, from bots to astroturf (both foreign and domestic) and beyond. The purest form of this brain damage is follower counts on X.

everybody hates golf shouty guy but somebody at the 16th today screamed a reference to a Jim Rome Show segment from nearly 20 years ago

Denver has a strong argument for world's greatest hockey city.

here's a fun phrase to say aloud

By the way—the drivers themselves aren’t where most of this money is going.

You could try to argue that raising prices aren't inflationary, as Secretary Bessent has done. Or you could defer to economists at the Fed who note that Trump's tariffs explain >100% of CPI inflation.

RICH PEOPLE FOODCOURT: 28 outposts of popular restaurants but it all costs 3-8 dollars more and it’s in a condo basement. 50-100% of these will close in 2 years. ASIAN AMERICAN FOODCOURT: Everything here rocks, is affordable, and it’s in the healthiest yet most confusing mall you’ve seen in decades.

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

today is the day rotten dot com finally became president

It's been nearly five hours since the president of the United States posted a graphic snuff video of a man beating a woman to death with a hammer and there's no mention of it on the New York Times, Washington Post or CNN websites.

Why I don't trust anyone a little too obsessed about falling fertility rates

I could not come up with a more perfect way to state the rot at the core of US society than "But I do have a feeling sometimes I'm just gonna make this one not apply to me” Somewhere freedom morphed into entitlement and entitlement morphed into impunity and impunity gave rise to fascism

This post is still live on X.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I had one of the CD players, and had forgotten about it until just now.

Please explain contemporary American life succinctly. “I understand we live in a giant city and we have to have rules, and that’s what makes society society,” she says. “But I do have a feeling sometimes I’m just gonna make this one not apply to me."

I was ranting to a friend a few months ago that Democrats need to return to the New Deal era “propaganda” of selling people on good governance. This is what I meant. Every elected official should be doing things like this

Anybody want to see the single worst vehicle of all time?

Just a reminder that Pete Hegseth recently said a prayer suggesting that when Iranians cry out to God, He doesn't answer them, but by contrast He does answer Pete Hegseth newrepublic.com/article/2083...

Investors placed an approximately $950 million bet on oil prices falling just hours before the US and Iran ceasefire was announced, per Reuters:

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

I will fly to Minneapolis to gather signatures for this.

Rep Crow (D-CO) on the ceasefire after Trump's threat to end Iran's civilization: "It's a good thing that the President of the United States is saying that he's not going to commit a war crime, but it's actually just stunning to me that we're even having this discussion.. I mean, what the hell?"

Sen. Bennet (D-CO) says he doesn't believe President Trump was rushed into war with Iran by Israel. "No, my assessment is that Donald Trump fell in love with the result of our military capabilities in the Venezuela episode and applied that to a completely different set of circumstances"

YOU BETTER FUCKIN' BELIEVE I'M A SENZATELA FELLA

it is wild that Scott Walker's far-right policies and union-busting antagonism were so unpopular in WI that they overcame infinite money and total control of the government to defeat him. like, your ideas must have REALLY sucked to lose a game you had literally every advantage in.

“New York is so expensive” yeah people are willing to pay through the nose to get away from you

I think almost every day about how on Jan 20, 2025, Joe and Jill Biden met Donald Trump on the steps of the White House, and Joe shook Trump's hand while saying in his ear, "Welcome home."

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

[Chuck Schumer scavenging through the post-apocalyptic rubble for scraps of food] He's gone too far. Someone should do something about this

Look inside Iran pre-Epic Fury. It may as well be Williamsburg. These are the people they want you to fear

The media told us, based on the amount of coverage they devoted to it, that the number one military-related issue of the 2024 campaign was whether Tim Walz retiring from the National Guard after 21 years was too soon or not.

I don't think Kamala Harris would've threatened to commit genocide in Iran on a random Tuesday morning a month after starting an unwinnable war with them for no reason

Again, there’s a reason democracies — and in particular this one — were specially designed to avoid putting all power in one person’s hands. Weird that we did away with those limits because of some people’s vague sense of grievance.
