Evidently, I'm not the only one who thinks so. digbysblog.net/2026/03/03/w...

He doesn't get to just send our military out all around the world to help his friends make a buck. He's blowing up the whole world for quarterly profits. Congress needs to remove him last week.

There are more of us than there are of them. Like, more than three times as many.

The only thing Iran has wanted for seventy years is for us to leave them alone and let their people benefit from their natural resources. 120 years for Britain. Yeah, they're not too fond of Israel but that's also all part of the same thing. It's only ever been about oil.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were. These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War. Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35 Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42 Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39 Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Because of Stupid Medical Shenanigans™ I've been without one of my daily inhalers for two weeks. Going to bed last night my chest was aching so bad I thought I might be having a heart attack. Nope, just my lungs. Needless to say, this is not making a difficult time any easier.

Billionaires claiming they earned their money because they're so smart are the same vibes as the guy cutting around highway traffic during rush hour on the emergency shoulder. You're not smarter for doing that, we all thought of it, you're just jerk enough to actually do it.

Happy 345th birthday, Pennsylvania.

NYT article about billionaires, my friend Scott Ellis' quote: “At some point there’s nothing you can spend money on that actually makes your life materially better, so money simply becomes power,” he said. “The question for us is not how much wealth we want other people to have, but how much power.”

OMG, the idiot in chief just doubled the lifetime number of F-15s lost in combat. Yesterday.

If this abomination isn't removed from office we'll spend the rest of our lives, even after he's gone, reading thinkpieces about how he was misunderstood and his policies made today's world possible. No! Our future selves deserve a world where his every action is universally, historically reviled.

The next Einstein is out there. The first person to walk on Mars is out there. But we're all so busy trying to survive paycheck to paycheck that we'll never know, and these amazing people will instead live miniaturized, frustrated, and short lives. This is about UBI.

Very random thought: the only weird thing about Milton Bradley's 1992 classic, Omega Virus, is that it's not a full co-op game. Not a surprise, '92 was way, way before that was a big thing. But the rest of it? Pure awesomeness. (And we just play it as a co-op anyway.)

Counterpoint: throw ourselves on the gears to make it harder for them to bomb people for no reason and then maybe they'll just bring everyone home, which would be out of harm's way.

Basic income and universal healthcare for all. Forgive student loan debt. Take the boot off American necks.

Strong case that the U.S. military can be bought with a suitable payment directly to the U.S. President.

Up 50% in the first six hours.

They won't commit to a timeline or even a goal. Because saying "forever" and "literal Armageddon" in public would be even less popular.

if you’re cis and you don’t get it this is LITERAL TORTURE it will result in dead trans people and with their other goal of making us “sexually explicit” for existing you see the pipeline right? we exist -> we’re jailed for it -> we’re tortured and die WE NEED YOU TO STOP THIS

The NYT style guide

Trump's ham-fisted failure to reinvigorate manufacturing extends to manufacturing consent. www.reuters.com/world/us/jus...

the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸

Oil prices are already up 10%. The popularity of this war is already at end-of-Vietnam levels. We don't want this and we have a god-given right to leaders who will act in our interests. Shut it down or we're getting rid of you.

The Department of War has sent their Warfighters (with their Warrior Mindset) on their Warships to fly their Warplanes and drop bombs, killing the leader of another country on the other side of the world. But it's not a war. That would require Congressional approval. Spare me.

The billionaires’ kids will pay no price. But American kids have already died for a war of vanity and choice. A war that will result in hardline leadership remaining in Iran and no meaningful impact on their nuclear program. A likely moral and strategic disaster.

Sunkist is oranges. Starkist is tuna. What is Moonkist? Apparently it's a jeweler in South Carolina, but I liked it better as a rhetorical question.

Three American service members have now died to this, the stupidest war of the century (I know, steep completion).

I’m voting for the candidate who promises to imprison everyone who makes money insider trading on war.

Backseat as my dad was driving us to a Boyscout meeting; radio. My future sister-in-law's house; CNN on her living room TV. My dining room table after I made the kids eggs for breakfast; smartphone. -Where I was and how I learned that Republican presidents started wars in the Middle East.

23°F drop in day-over-day temperatures tomorrow?! What did we ever do to the clima—oh, yeah, huh, I guess we deserve this.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Because life keeps going on in some strange zombie version even when you've started a war... 9yo is playing SMB3 and I'm backseat advising them. They get sick of it and say "Dad, I know, I've played Mario Maker!"

Dear every American, please at least read the Wikipedia page on Iran and pay close attention to all the stupid stuff we did to them for no reason.

Told my daughters about a protest nearby tomorrow. Said I was thinking of making a sign that said "No War". 6 year old said she wanted to make a giant peace sign. 3 year old said she wanted to make a sign that said "No War, Yes Tickles". Thinking about the girls their age our bombs just slaughtered

Does it make it even worse knowing that the same people ("anonymous new accounts") making bank are the ones that started the war? That's got to be illegal too, yeah? I wonder if Anthropic could de-anonymize those folks?

I don’t know what my point is but the government killed 100 children on the first day of bombings and there are members of Congress still supporting more bombings and that is a grotesque level of inhumanity I cannot reckon with.

The only military that should "lay down its arms" is ours. The only people that should "rise up against their government" are us.

Excuse my while I reskeet all the wonderful people I have surrounded myself with as we all feel the same thing and express it so eloquently.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

People who are too incompetent to host an Olympic hockey team just kicked off world war 3 to make their boss feel better about himself. Awesome.

Make Article I great again

Fuck Trump. Fuck the puppeteers behind him. Fuck the GOP, especially congressional Republicans and quisling Democrats, who enabled him. Fuck the people who voted for this, and fuck the media for never reporting on him realistically. Fuck them all, for they have truly fucked us and the world.

If we do not clearly oppose our government right now then we are complicit in its crimes.

I opened my phone to look something up and I read the news and now I can't remember my own name. Jesus Christ, what have we done!?

You gonna let Captain Bonespurs talk to you like this?

We gave the school bully a suit of mecha-armor. Something like this was inevitable after that. Which is why that never should have happened.

Noting like calling your turn-coat Senator to get the blood pumping on a Saturday morning.

If I didn't have three kids, a disabled wife, and my elderly mother in law to care for I'd be in the streets right now. If you can, go out to the streets and know that you carry my spirit with you.

No pedophiles in the Whitehouse No war in Iran (works as a list of demands and a simple logical inference)
