The truth is, every minute that Donald Trump is president we are exactly this close to historic disaster. The man can initiate nuclear strikes at any minute.

Trump has been negotiating wth himself. Iran keeps piercing the illusion. It's their move now.

anyone got a suggestion for a nice hotel/guest house in Mexico City for me and my teenage boy for a few days touristing?

I don't know man...

I don't really understand bombing bridges except if you were planning ground invasion; to immobilize opposition forces. Otherwise, it just seems like economic vandalism.

It is a national disgrace that the U.S. Congress doesn't immediately impeach this man.

Is there a compound German word for sadly waiting while your country commits war criimes?

A Constitutional system designed to provide checks and balances which does not provide checks and balances is facing a Constitutional crisis.

I was at a lot of conferences where vertical farming was advertised as the hot new movement to improve food systems and save the environment. Never made a lot of sense to me, but it was cool. I'm sure there's a business in it, but it will be smaller and narrow. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/b...

Happy Easter. Going to try to keep my focus on the good things for a day. I hope you can too.

Kuwait’s Ministry of Oil building hit in an Iranian attack.

Latest DC area pollen report. About peak level many years. “Tree pollen is VERY HIGH at 3193.29 grains/cubic meter.” 🤧

Gotta run out and buy some champagne.

"Resilient" covering up a lot of dead people here.

“Despite the money being available, people inside and outside the government say the State Department is deliberately withholding some of the funds. As a result, key HIV efforts — that even the Trump administration deemed "lifesaving" — are on the brink of shutting down.“

A trove of internal documents were leaked detailing Russian influence campaigns in Africa and other countries. Some seem pretty successful - lots of lying and conjuring social media scandals and outrages. Lining up lobbying and anti-Western (anti-colonial) rhetoric. Not very expensive ($7m).

Easter message.

The early signs of the religious wars that wracked America for 30 years. JD Vance leading the forces of the Holy Roman Empire.

38% percent of Lebanon's population is Christian and we're bombing them to hell on Good Friday

Recent AIS data shows the shifting shipping lanes produced by the blockade. The pre-war lanes, now closed, are gray-dashed and sit in international waters. Vessels that have exited the Strait do so through Iranian controlled waters and are subject to tolls/fees and military escort. #cartography

Trump and his family have a huge headstart. But JD is smart - he went to Yale! - so I'm sure he'll figure it out quickly.

My daughter is practicing trombone in the basement. She's trying to play "somewhere over the rainbow" and it's so comical that I have to hide my face when she comes up.

Did Hitler build a ballroom? Just trying to understand the historical precedents.

This kind of ambition for building more places for people to live across the city is one of so many reasons I'm proud to support JLG for Mayor. I can't see McDuffie or the others leading and taking risks on anything like this. DC needs a More Housing, More Places Mayor

Until today “Trump will draw attention back to the Epstein files to distract from his Iran humiliation” was like a B- internet joke.

If you want to understand how the solar boom is playing out across the Global South, a good place to start is Agbon, Benin, where I lived for 2 yrs. It's exceedingly unexceptional: the reason solar is taking off there is bc it's taking off everywhere🧵 timhirschelburns.substack.com/p/solar-is-e...

For God's sake, how is this man president of the United States.

Wall Street didn’t like it.

Honestly happy for all you space geeks.

THUNDER! In Leafy Upper Northeast. #dcwx

The MAGA concept of "freedom" is a privilege to be hoarded and guarded rather than human fulfillment to be extended and shared with the world.

Look, Taylor Swift is an amazing performer. But did she ever dance en pointe? No? I think the edge now goes to Rosalía. youtu.be/ns1yrGLFQQA?...

Birthright citizenship is one of the things that's great about America.

The Trump trade.

wow. US has fallen to pandemic levels of hiring. Not since APRIL 2000 has hiring been so low.

Wage theft is a common outcome when our immigration system has created a class of vulnerable, exploitable workers. It’s very wrong. open.substack.com/pub/migranti...

good.

Toyota is the biggest financial backer of climate change denial Toyota actively sabotaged EVs and is the reason Japan is last Toyota is MAGA aligned Toyota who spent decades doing everything they could to stop EVs to sell mundane gas engines obviously isn’t ready. I’ll never buy one again.

Not that there's anything wrong with it....
