Corporate America waking up to its full power is a terrifying thought

we have reached the “this is Trump’s fault, personally, please don’t yell at us” stage already things are going great

The domination of social media by right wing propaganda would have you think that the Canadian government's Covid response was an evil, tyrannical, horrendous crime and that the Canadian people groaned and suffered under Dictator Trudeau the Younger. The Canadian people seem to disagree!

we have all had to take on a massive psychic toll from having to deal with this mans bullshit for the past 11 years and counting.

This is the second fatal crash of a US airplane in 14 months. Duffy needs to be fired.

the same way eliminating car dealers, realtors and other parasitic right-wing industries needs to be a goal of the left for its own survival, eliminating chriorpactors, the supplements industry and other quack medicine needs to be on the agenda too

Reporters love to call our mentally unstable president and be like "Sir! Are you going to nuke Paris, or are you big fat stupid chicken? Bawk bawk bawk! Big chicken sir, and no guts! How many people will you kill, sir? Wow, what an impressive number, it'd be cool if it were bigger, don't you think?"

Mueller in both his report and testimony thought that he was laying out a damning case against Trump — far worse than the same conduct that had gotten Nixon forced out of office — and then the media covered it as "TRUMP TOTALLY EXONERATED: NOTHING THERE"

Feeling very smart I filled my tank when I did, but I’ll just have to fill up at $5 now

“Track AIPAC” isn’t “watchdog journalism,” it’s a sleazy antisemitic smear operation that intentionally conflates anyone who donates to any Israel-related group with AIPAC itself. And even then it’s inconsistent, labeling Jewish candidates as AIPAC while non-Jewish candidates get a green light.

Anyone have a map for a D+20 environment?

They’re running out of lawyers

a billionaire must never make a decision because the billionaire can never be held accountable

I do wonder if there’s a legal case to be made that illegally starting a war like this is in fact treason with the attendant punishments available

Strap in. All signs point to an ever lengthening conflict. Bloomberg Exclusive: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

It’s amazing seeing the “please help my family is starving” meme played out but with pointlessly pursuing a war of aggression

This really speaks to the lack of strategic thinking. How does seizing Kharg force capitulation? Iran's in an existential fight, losing oil revenue doesn't help but it's not going to change anything near term. Just a complete failure to understand the enemy's perspective.

Remember folks, the failure state of transactional law is litigation.

Karl Popper where art though

Turns out they could’ve just threatened this and never pursued nuclear weapons and it would’ve worked better

Average Bsky poster: "We must inaugurate a Second Reconstruction with blood and fire." Average Democratic politician: "We are in a war for the Republic, which is why I propose a 23.7% tax cut." Average liberal columnist: "For too long the transgenders have blocked research into the racial IQ gap."

They can’t even fund the tsa and they want this for his suicidal war of choice? Lmao

in re: cesar chavez, we talked about this on the show this week. do not project personal decency onto people who publicly do things you like. you don't know these people. they might do incredibly valuable things out in the world, yet they might also be monsters back home

"Anyone but the (perceived) most progressive candidate winning is a devastating loss for the Left" is annoyingly common from supporters AND haters of those candidates

This is honestly an important point. There are young people who are given authority and it's like watching a dragon being born. The Marine Corps relearns this in every war. These shitheads are a very particular type of person whose arrogance and foolishness are only partly related to their age.

I personally don’t care if the admin saves face; in fact, I’d appreciate it if they’d do what’s good for the country and eat crow on this

The dementia-ravaged president is increasingly spewing nonsense and acting erratically, with dangerous consequences for the entire world and it seems like that really should be all we're talking about.

Everything is so fucking dumb

Breast cancer mortality dropped 58% from 1975 to 2019. Localized, early detected breast cancer has a 99% 5 year survival rate. Modern mammogram tech was developed by NASA for telescopes. Last year, RFK Jr. cancelled 87 research grants on breast cancer. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/u...

I didn’t make this but it’s going to get a workout

I would like to resume thinking about measles as one does a spider at the zoo, and not as one does a spider in a dark bedroom.

the ideal amount I would like to think about measles is zero and I resent that I had that once and no longer do

Speaking as a Jew living in Diaspora, who needs to exist as a minority at a time of rising antisemitism, I would really appreciate it if the Prime Minister of a country where I do not live would not say that attacks on a sovereign country are analogous to attacks on a synagogue.

This Is Not a Rise in Antisemitism. It Is a Pandemic of Jew-Hatred. Calling what we are seeing a “rise in antisemitism” minimizes the reality: an ideological contagion that is spreading across movements, platforms, and demographics with alarming speed. My Latest Piece: bit.ly/4sCe9UM

1) horrific, abominable decision that leaves no doubt IDF discipline needs to happen in international courts rather than internally. 2) be cool if we could stop redefining the blood libel

The corolloray of Trump being so stupid that he sees everything as zero sum and misses positive sum outcomes like trade where both parties benefit, is that he's blind to negative sum outcomes like war.

This is the entire annual budget of the NSF. This is about 1/5 the annual budget of the NIH. No, we couldn't fund Medicare for all with this money, but we could do something useful and good with it, rather than illegal wars of aggression

damn that’s more than I make in a year

The largest payment eliminated by DOGE was $38,468,659 to the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for transition support services to adulthood for disabled children served under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The missles in this video cost more than that.

hmm

Why is the Gordian knot told as a positive example of lateral thinking instead of Alex the Great being an asshole and breaking a puzzle he couldn’t solve?

This is clever

Don’t print lies in the Bluesky

This is devolving into another version of his clusterfuck handling of covid except this time its totally and completely self-imposed. There is zero reason that any of this needs to be happening right now except that Trump wanted it to.

But don’t message it this way! You’re not losing out on money, you’re saving money as more services are provided more efficiently

Genuine question: aren’t anti aircraft point defense turrets a relatively solved solution we could roll out relatively efficiently? Or are the costs of modern radar installations at sensitive infrastructure too high?

you need a tax base to deliver essential services and fulfill vital government functions! you do actually need a broad tax base to have state capacity!
