It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. Ma Dang Gook Soo's soups in Koreatown. (Comfort in a bowl.) 2. @blitz.spotcat.ink 's beat saber streams. (Great people, great music.) 3. People-watching at Venice Beach. (EVERYONE passes through there.)

I just want to make sure everyone knows Mayo Clinic has a therapy miniature horse named Blue Sky

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

a lovely friend invited me to an event that was something i wished I could do for my entire life it was in a supremely unsafe state for trans people and i had to tell her I couldn’t go because of it like if I needed to go to the hospital there they’d medically detransition me I can not risk that

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Weather officials say ‘records will be shattered’ during upcoming Southern California heatwave

Bookday! It's my bookday! Out today is BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (15! How did that happen?) adventure in the InCryptid series, and the third book narrated by Sarah Zellaby. Sarah's adopted, which is relevant only because she's not human. She's still family. Biology is irrelevant.

First the short version: Segwick argues that since the end of the 19th century, there have been two basically incompatible ways of understanding the relationship of gender and sexuality: inversion and opposition. After a long period of unpopularity, the oppositional model is now regaining favor.

It’s that time again, nincompoops. Now until May 31. #HaveFunDoGood #ThisIsAmirica #AbortionIsHealthcare

I wanna tell the story of where my screen name came from. It's a story some of you are probably already familiar with but it deserves retelling. It's well documented that thousands of Black people were killed by lynchings for decades, but the year 1892 was particularly egregious 🧵

Happy international women's day! I'm a nerd, so I give a shout out to Kay McNulty, Frances Bilas, Betty Jean Jennings, Elizabeth Snyder, Ruth Lichterman, and Marlyn Wescoff. In 1946, these six women wrote the very first computer program on the first computer, the ENIAC. ethw.org/Women_Comput....

🧵Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

In addition, Secretary of Commerce Lutnick is accused of profiteering from the chance that tariffs would be declared illegal. The Department of Commerce was in charge of the tariffs. Source: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/media-center...

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

Trans rights are human rights.

I think there's four basic things you need to do to keep yourself functioning: exercise, sleep, eat, and socialize In average jobs you can kinda neglect two of those and still basically function for a while In creative jobs you cannot. Neglecting any of those for too much time leads to burnout

I am considering doing some art streams. Does this seem like fair pricing?

Early last year, Trump fired or got many top military generals to resign: www.axios.com/2025/08/27/b... This year, Trump starts a war against Iran.

It will only be available for a few more hours. You will get many *wonderful* books for a low price.

Greg Knauss on AI coding: "Is the code any good? I don’t know. Who cares? Nobody looks at it anyway. AI produces a result, and results are what matter, and if you’re waiting for quality to factor significantly into that equation, I’ve got some bad news." www.eod.com/blog/2026/02...

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoH...
