I’ll wait to hear what Iran says first.

So, basically this is the exact thing Trump accused Barack Obama of doing with his "red line" on Syria, but tenfold.

Keep in mind Trump breaks his promises all the time.

Commentary: Fossil fuels come with volatility. American oil is sold on a global market influenced by geopolitics and supply shocks. Wind and solar paired with battery storage offer reliable power at the lowest cost but instead Trump is killing both off ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/07/r...

We have an Iranian friend in Tehran who has devoted his career to translating Thoreau for an Iranian readership. Starting with 'Walden,' through Thoreau's anti-slavery works and essays on civil disobedience, the lot. We have not heard anything from him since the bombardment began.

I stopped selling this shirt for a while but people asked me to bring it back now that it's more relevant again

Excommunicate JD! Doooo it.

Renowned Iranian composer, Ali Ghamsari and tar virtuoso, announced he will stay at the Damavand Combined Cycle Power Plant. His plan: Create music there as a symbolic effort to shield Iran's infrastructure from attack. @iranscreenshot

Reaching the NCAA Tournament in 2026 resulted in some extra pay for the Ohio State men's basketball staff. Here's how much the Buckeyes coaches earned.

What she said: Ideally, when Congress is in recess, local reporters go bug lawmakers at ice cream socials, little league games, graduations and town halls. But... local news is hollowed out now.

and, quiet as it's kept, this was the outcome of essentially a world war fought explicitly on the terms of achieving this outcome, much as people at the time and since have liked to portray the century as a bipolar struggle between two countries in particular

Port Clinton, Ohio. On the islands.

From Reconstruction to "We tortured some folks," from Iran-Contra to January 6th, a prevailing ideology of American politics is that no one should face consequences, nothing should be fundamentally changed, and we should all happily move on as if ignoring the problem solves it.

We are terrorizing an entire country. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

1950s science fiction is plentiful with such storylines. A good example is World Without End.

Dems should be shouting that message about how military members are not required to follow illegal orders. Like right now.

Liberate yourself from office first, Senator twat.

Well then. That post by the president is insane and I hate him.

An Unfair Labor Practice Charge filed last week alleges that the recent termination of a CML employee was “unlawful and retaliatory,” motivated by the worker’s involvement in union organizing. New from Larkin Cleland. matternews.org/community/wo...

There's been a weeks long intra democratic fight over trying to cancel Hasan Piker because, among other things, he said America deserved 9/11 at some point. Nearly 10 years in, I'm not sure how the party fails so spectacularly to grasp millennial disgust with the imperial project.

Jimmy Haslam… I will see you and your crime family IN HELL.

US-Israeli strikes destroy synagogue in Tehran, prompting outrage amid reports of 15 killed across Iran overnight.

Nutella could not have asked for better product placement. Pack it in marketing team. You’re going on an extended vacation.

One of the problems with people not sharing things with attribution, AI etc is that we (rightly) don’t trust things that are real. This picture is making the rounds today and I’ve seen multiple ppl say it is fake. It isn’t!!!! www.nasa.gov/solar-system...

I am not sure people understand the degree to which foreign grad students (and especially Chinese ones) are propping up our universities.

Meanwhile my university has bought licenses for CoPilot. Is a technology that "is for entertainment purposes only, which can make mistakes, which may not work as intended and cannot be relied on for important advice and has to be used at our own risk" so essential?

literally further away from earth than any human being ever and still can’t get away from him, brutal stuff

Hot take because I had to endure yet another contrived OpenAi commercial. Their logo is generic af. Looks like something you’d find in a stock repository of meaningless logos to put on things before you choose the real logo. It’s lazy.

Ah yes 1929. A glorious moment for America, a permanent plateau of prosperity.

So has someone planned out a scenario where the U.S. uses nukes?

We’re gonna have to make real strides to make amends for these atrocities and even then that may not be enough.

I'm convinced that he has doomed us to decades of random terrorist events and with every hospital, bridge, powerplant, and university - he makes those targets more viable when terrorists return the violence.

i don't think people are fully prepared for how scrambled the politics around data centers are. opposition to data centers often ≠ opposition to AI

this is true beyond journalism. the federalist society is exceptionally well-funded while the closest thing to a liberal counterpart has to engage in endless penny pinching

To update everyone, I am finally starting my surgery next month, starting with with a bone graft! Without everyone's help I would not have been able to afford this, thank you!!!

Seriously tho: Wisconsin is a high-stakes electoral state that was gerrymandered to the point it was a much degraded democracy for a long time. Supreme Court races changed that. They also provided clarity about which candidates were broadly supportive of democracy and which weren't. That continues.

What are the stakes? If liberal Chris Taylor wins, retiring Judge Rebecca Bradley will be forced to keep making this face for the next decade.

No American is served by creating ever bigger media monopolies funded by ever more elusive foreign entities.

The massive elections overhaul pushed by President Trump and Congressional Republicans that they call the SAVE America Act would effectively ban voter registration drives, a mainstay of college campuses and neighborhood events ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/03/r...

They best way to understand Trump is his brain is stuck somewhere in 1997-1998. Even his rhetoric around China is basically what he used to say about Japan. He talks about crime in cities as if it were still Gotham in the 1990s before New York cleaned up.
