Well, the sun can’t be seen this morning, so… www.bbc.com/news/article...

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Very good stuff here: www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

When is someone going to do the write-up about what all this ordinance is doing to the air quality in and around Tehran, Beirut, and the other areas of conflict? How's the air in Gaza, by the way? Does someone have a link to a study/article? It should be getting more attention, imho.

Kuwait's air defense system, which it buys from US companies, shot down 3 American planes. My tax dollars just shot down my tax dollars.

“Wait… they’re British?” is always my favorite awards show night game.

This idiot thinks this is an international version of The Apprentice. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/01/u...

Our cartoonist's take on the ongoing standoff between the US and Iran

@mashagessen.bsky.social wrote something that reminded me that the Ukraine war began 4 years ago, and still goes on. They are the best interlocutor I can imagine to describe what is going on at this moment. This is a gift article which I hope will illuminate. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/o...

@slate.com has a Steve Kennedy piece that highlighted yet another mean-spirited and wrong-headed policy decision by this cabal of dunces: slate.com/news-and-pol...

Like Hollywood Squares but for Nazis! (And lazy ones who don't want to take the time to make their own propaganda).

My convo this morning with @analiliafornj.bsky.social is a fascinating listen - because you can hear her navigating a transition from advocate to (possibly) elected in real time. Worth your ears: slate.com/podcasts/wha...

Isaac Hayes with Jesse Jackson, "If I Had a Hammer" Live at Wattstax 1972

“Take the vaccine, please,” Dr. Oz said. He also pledged that there “will never be a barrier to Americans getting access to the measles vaccine.” Except this barrier: MAHA peops who refuse to vaccinate their children & are following the Pied Piper of Bullshit's "miraculous alternative remedies."😡

Loved the Villas Tacos stand❣️ They always always have a line, and for good reason. Congratulations,Victor Villa and staff. 🌮❤️👏😋

Watching the opening ceremony.

@ashleyrparker.bsky.social This is raw but somehow so well-calibrated and researched. You must be a journalist.😁 I feel compelled to gift this valentine to some who might hit a paywall. Thank you, and selfishly glad that you have chosen to be @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I joined Today, Explained to discuss the politics of immigration amid the recent shift in public opinion on ICE. We also talk about voters' growing frustration with Trump, cracks in the MAGA coalition, and what this all means for '26 and '28. Check it out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUhs...

Grateful to @clmporg.bsky.social for including my poetry collection Peculiar Heritage on their reading list for Black History Month! @masonjarpress.bsky.social

I laughed out loud at least 3 times while reading this wonderful remembrance of an artistic family dynasty, and Bjorn - son and father - who died recently. Please - someone - anyone- read this😂🍺🐓👏 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/a...

One of the absolute greatest comedic/for-real/truth-telling actors ever. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/a...

And by "home" we mean "garage".

Absolutely a legitimate interest - especially for Palestinians! www.instagram.com/p/DBj4sNdxcz...

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u... Scott Bessent is that snitty, gossipy queer you hated as one of your fellow cast members in Pippin. 😂

@emilypeck.bsky.social @espiers.bsky.social @felixsalmon.com Love the show, love you three together, *and* love Sam. My favorite interviewer of anybody: @samfragoso.bsky.social Emily - you must hear: talkeasypod.com/terry-gross/

This took me a while to read, but it was so worth the time. What a wonderful story, about Margery and Laura and their office in the grocery store in Springfield, OH. They are invaluable assets to the Haitian residents and the entire city. Thank you @ohiocapitaljournal.com 🙏

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

every time someone complains about it, another gay NATO flag gets its wings

“.. People take part in a rally on the day of a general strike to protest U.S. President Donald Trump's deployment of thousands of immigration enforcement officers on the streets of Minneapolis, Minnesota.” @reuters.com

Inspiring and clear-eyed speech. Worth 17 minutes of your time. youtu.be/btqHDhO4h10?...

Thank you @jamellebouie.net and @nytimes.com for an informative and lively discussion.

The thing that occurs to me, is that everyone in the congregation is listening to this. No one is scrolling or answering texts. Happy MLK Day, all, and thanks to @vanderhoofy.bsky.social for sharing it.

I have sang Lift E’ry Voice, received greetings from three church families, and turned to greet my neighbor. I’m officially MLK’d for the year.

Parched I get, but “bewildered “? Really? Nah!

“The mothership has returned. Gather your things and inform the others.”

The LeBron James of divorced women. No one is doing it like her.

I'm liking the discrete (dis-tweet) exit best: no fuss, no froth, no feeding the beast or adding to the noise. If asked you might say: "it no longer served my purpose." Otherwise, a shrug. Twitter? Dead to the world.

Idk how much Polymarket paid for those ads, but does anyone wanna make a bet?https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01/11/arts/golden-globes-2026-watch/fc6c54a6-7a3b-5dae-8bcb-37f18b13bce6?smid=url-share

Turns out Walt Whitman saw Bari Weiss coming some 150 yrs ago. His description of hacks: "kept-editors, spaniels well-train'd to carry & fetch, creatures of the President, creatures of would-be Presidents... , the lousy combings and born freedom-sellers of the earth."
