It has now been five weeks since the noted noise/drone musician Siavash Amini posted from where he lives in Tehran. Any number of reasons might be why. We do not know. Again, please consider investigating his work.

These new Lego sets are really good

Nuremberg was the spiritual heart of the Nazi party (it’s where the first antisemitic laws were passed and where their massive rallies were held) so holding the criminal trials there was a huge symbol for the Allies. So with that in mind, I offer you: THE MAR-A-LAGO TRIALS.

When you’re the con artist AND the mark

Having now seen the other side of the moon, I think we got lucky with the tidal lock thing. Our side is way better

man this just seems to straight-up confirm the narrative that Israel, specifically, lied us into a catastrophic war in Iran www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

Shithole Country

This exact quote should follow 51 year-old Todd Blanche around for the rest of his life. Speaking gig? This quote leads his official bio in the program. Interviewed on TV? This quote is used to introduce him. When he eventually dies? This is the quote on his tombstone and leading his obituaries.

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."

Wall Street forecasters expect a massive headline March CPI print on Friday due to the rise in energy prices from the Gulf war: around +0.9% on the month, driving the y/y rate to 3.3% from 2.4%. Nobody's squinting at the right side of the decimal place when the left side moves like that.

The President of the USA declaring that "a whole civilisation will die tonight" is not something that arrives out of a vacuum. It is precipitated by the widespread international failure to hold USA, Israel, and their allies including the UK, accountable for their actions for many decades

Trying to envision the segue: “well, SPEAKING of nothing ever being the same again, we have Molly Knight with us to talk about the future of baseball!”

One thing that’s proven true with the Trump/Vance regime: familiarity breeds contempt. The more people see and hear from these American loser fascists, the less they like them—and any domestic political party that embraces them. (See also: Pierre Poilievre)

full guarantee Orban loses his ass now

It’s nice of JD Vance to fly all the way to Europe to remind the people of Hungary that a vote for Péter Magyar isn’t just a vote against Orban; it’s a vote against Trump as well.

A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft. Far-right authoritarianism is a globally collaborative movement.

Holy shit

new NASA gallery up. Trying to keep it together: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna...

The Fascist International

I’m loathe to tempt fate but I think the 8pm EDT deadline comes and goes. Someone will get to him and convince him to extend the deadline or declare some sort of concession/progress and back down

The United States is about to commit war crimes because some dudes got mad at a trans woman in a beer advertisement on Instagram.

Vought has in fact written about his belief that the president is an elected dictator.

Democrats are proposing new tax plans that would layer more complication on an already complicated system. This is not the answer. They should work to convince the public that paying taxes is patriotic - and make them simpler. My latest at Public Notice: www.publicnotice.co/p/democratic...

What a beautiful moment.

damn aaron swartz tried to warn everybody about sam altman

I don’t blame the astronauts for turning around and going back around to the dark side of the moon

Why the long face, Representative

TV is so broken

just came up with a counterintuitive take on this: republicans think the state of marriage is more dire than it is bc they know more people on the red line than on the blue line

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

The #Artemis II crew are at the closest point to the Moon in their mission, also called the perilune 🌒

But for his choice in Gods, Qtub would be quite popular with the Fuentes/InfoWars crowds in 2026

Why the long face, Representative

Every republican in congress will try to move on and distance themselves from this after he’s gone but they co-own everything trump does. We can’t ever let them forget it. THEY put and kept this piece of shit in our punchbowl: WE need to make sure they drink nothing else for the rest of their lives.

This disproves a lot of right wing ideas about the causes of the decline in marriage rates

There is no way out that doesn't involve MAGA elites trying to rule openly by lawless force, against the express wishes of a supermajority of the American public.

It’s extremely dangerous when GOP voters and 3rd party voters invent a Trump that doesn’t exist. It licenses abhorrent behavior. It’s a different form of peril when conservatives or liberals or leftists invent a Trump that doesn’t exist. It licenses foolish, counterproductive behavior.
