It’s been 34 days since Trump started his illegal war with Iran. Here’s what it’s costing Americans:

The U.S. doesn’t produce enough vegetable oil to meet a new biofuels mandate, so suppliers will have to ramp up imports of vegetable oil, putting pressure on tropical forests overseas. via @insideclimatenews.org

As usual the article ends by demanding that Democrats do what they are already doing. "Legal immigration is good and illegal immigration is bad" has been bog-standard Democratic messaging and strategy for my entire life. Obama, Biden, Harris, they have all said and done this!

Come on man

Diaper Donny is Putin’s bitch

Russia sends another oil tanker to Cuba — and Trump will say nothing Putin continues to play in Trump’s face. If you can’t see something stinks there at this point it’s because you don’t want to.

"I have two Microsoft Outlooks, and neither one of those are working"

As a Strayan, this one always gets me.

The death of a nearly blind refugee from Myanmar who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3NZGHsz

FFS > Like the LLM resorts to naming its variables with prompt text to remind it to not leak data while writing its code, which, of course, it ignores and prints the error directly. neuromatch.social/@jonny/11632...

Just read the underlying study. It 1) does not say “modern agriculture is collapsing,” 2) acknowledges need for 35-56% more food by 2050 without further land clearance, 3) says labor needs in traditional systems are 10x higher, 4) says crop yields in highly agrobiodiverse systems are 20-40% lower.

Fuck. Fuck this. I really, really hope he comes out of this alright. Eugene is one of the nicest, kindest comedians out there. He makes an entire room light up. His voice alone is pure joy. Please be okay, dude.

Artemis II is a mission to the moon, just like driving from LA to San Jose is a road trip to SF

Please don't forget this story. They deliberately dropped off Nurul Amin Shah, a blind refugee, in freezing weather miles away from home. Less than a week later, he was dead. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Artemis II astronauts have 5 hot sauces in space. Not sure how hot, but this would be an amazing Hot Ones episode. Get on that Sean Evans!

Did you know that there is one group of Americans who are not entitled to birthright citizenship? People born American Samoa are classified instead simply as “U.S. nationals” — and as a result they cannot vote or run for office anywhere else in the country. Much more here, for anyone curious:

NASA's Artemis 2 crewed lunar mission takes off. Four astronauts blast off aboard a massive NASA rocket on a long-anticipated journey around the Moon, marking the first crewed lunar flyby in more than 50 years

‘Fossil-fuel imperialism’: Trump’s hankering for Iranian oil runs deep

The Trump administration is sending more military forces to the Middle East, while at the same time saying Iran has asked for a ceasefire, a claim Iranian officials say is not true. https://to.pbs.org/4c5KQ6p

***Leaked White House Video*** Trump claimed Jesus was afraid of being arrested: “Thursday, the disciples gathered with Jesus as their teacher stood in fear as he was arrested and betrayed.” The Bible teaches Jesus knew and embraced his betrayal and arrest.

I can't imagine going to a fancy college to get a degree in journalism & then writing puff pieces on a DC bar where MAGA staffers working for a regime that puts kids in gulags, sics masked agents on citizens & launches unnecessary wars & try to pay 4 it by gutting healthcare - bump and grind.

The Republican Congress is the reason that Hegseth was allowed to start an unwinnable war. The Republican Congress is the reason we are having the worst measles outbreak in decades. The Republican Congress is the reason that people are being terrorized by ICE.

Here’s another shocker: Prince Bonesaw’s been pushing Trump to continue the war in Iran to eliminate competition, calling it a historic opportunity to remake the Middle East. He argues Iran poses a long-term threat that can only be ended by removing its government. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

For those of you who love space exploration: we have robots exploring all across the solar system, and they can’t make anybody any money, they just discover cool stuff, so billionaires aren’t interested. Rovers and orbiters at Mars, orbiter at Jupiter, missions on the way to distant asteroids…

Andrew Tate is very ugly and that is why he is so popular. His target audience is men who are deeply insecure and he is this ugly man telling them that he can teach them to control women (and thus regain the power they feel they have been stripped of)

"infused with factory expertise" What is it about AI that makes people go full-on alchemic?

Why are we destroying yet more greenbelt for housing, forcing people into long daily work commutes, when all our cities and town centres are largely empty apart from ground floor premises?

Trump’s war is driving up gas prices—handing Big Oil a windfall while families pay more every time they fill up.

Canada is going to become a global superpower by uniting all the middle powers together, you say?

Bloomberg scoop: Chinese EVs could be built in the Stellantis plant in Brampton, where a planned Jeep production line was cancelled last year and moved to the US. Stellantis has discussed with Canadian officials the idea of building Leapmotor EVs there www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

“In the history of the modern FDA, essentially every company implicated in a foodborne outbreak has agreed to a recall—until now. Democrats in Congress have even tried to place pressure on Raw Farm to pull the product off shelves, but the company is not backing down.”

“A maxim of food safety is that when the government says your product is making people sick, you stop selling it. Sometimes companies are in a “state of shock and disbelief,” Frank Yiannas, a former deputy FDA commissioner who was previously the vice president of food safety at Walmart, told me.”

Jamaica doing the right thing and boycotting this summers World Cup in the USA. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇯🇲

EU: EU stands with the people of Cuba in their hour of need. We are stepping up our humanitarian aid to Cuba to help deliver food and safe drinking water, and to provide logistical support to humanitarian partners delivering urgent relief to the most vulnerable.

Ok markets Trump and his corrupt cronies have finished placing their buys and sells. You can start now. Of course - he's lying

Spare a thought and prayer this morning for Arizona State Supe Tom Horne - his Arizona Dept of Ed expert went on TV last night and affirmed my analysis.

This is the voucher comms strategy playbook, led by the goons at Heritage. They used it on Jen before w/her study on voucher-induced tuition hikes, and me when I pointed out most voucher users were already in private school. Attack, insult, deny…then quietly concede weeks later and say “so what?”

State schools, especially large ones, have been setting enrollment records pretty consistently over the past few years. The constant insistence that education is now either entirely obsolete or just a bad investment is apparently not convincing many.

The same people who say they want government out of girls’ locker rooms also want to put government into women’s medical exam rooms. The only through-line between promoting “education freedom” and attacking reproductive freedom is Christian Nationalism. www.ed.gov/about/news/p...

I’ve long been convinced that those who loudly insist we are a republic, not a democracy cling to this pedantic, ridiculous argument because even they know what democracy demands. As the political theorist Danielle Allen notes, it demands political and social equality. On this account, they refuse.

NEW: Aaron Szabo, the Trump EPA official leading an effort to loosen rules on methane pollution, was an unnamed author of key oil industry arguments against those same rules just four years ago when he was an oil and gas lobbyist, metadata shows.

Stochastic Parrots are thefts of your personal information and give you depleted cognitive capabilities in return

Iranians **not living in Iran** right now are okay with the war

That webinar.

Last year @txsharon.bsky.social and @justinmikulka.bsky.social were on a Europe Calling webinar to debate "methane certification" with the head of the methane certification company MiQ. They argued that methane certification was misleading. This new article highlights many of the reasons why.
