@maddow.bsky.social: That one "Duh!" revealed a 𝘭𝘰𝘵! 😲

This didn't happen on the ice flows of the Atlantic but near Owen Sound just north of Toronto. The weather is warming. Be super careful on the ice my friends. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump's Board of Peace is essentially a global slush fund, run by him and him alone.

@maddow.bsky.social: Are you going through the motions of putting tonight's show together knowing full well that you'll probably have to throw it all into the virtual trash bin at 8:59 pm? 💁

"oil prices up 50%... But I still want to emphasize one thing. Yeah, that hurts at the pump. Yeah, it sucks. But you know what's worse? War. And so we shouldn't trivialize the big issues here, which is, you know, we're at war with Iran. Big deal for young American troops. Big deal for the Iranians."

Despite the chaos Venezuela, the threat to Greenland/Denmark, the horrifying violence in Iran, Donald Trump has never wavered for a moment from his determination to break Canada. My latest: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bv7... @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com

Trump is in serious trouble. His war is deeply unpopular. He's now in the toilet on the economy, immigration, and national security. His public standing is getting close to being broken in an irreparable way, akin to Bush after Iraq and Katrina: newrepublic.com/article/2074...

i now have 43M reasons to work on Bluesky every day

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

"Why are these yellow-bellied, jelly-hearted, lily-livered cowards unwilling to sail a large, slow, unarmoured target filled to the gunwales with flammable cargo through an active war zone."

Good! 👏

Canadians are watching...

Thoughts on International Women's Day. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-fight-...

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

Happy International Women’s Day! Today we recognize all the women leaders who contributed to moving our country forward and we renew our commitment to fight for equal rights, equal pay and reproductive rights for all.

I wrote about Trump's fantasy of omnipotence and invulnerability crashing against the material reality of a interdependent world. This insane, heedless war will ruin us all. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/06/o...

This is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 how a NATO member Western miliary should act! 😒

Someone, probably Israel, is blowing up Iranian airliners and other civilian aircrafts just for LOLs. 😒

@velshi.com Philip K. Dick's "The Man in the High Castle", while not a banned book (that I know of), is a great choice to discuss for the times we're living in now. 🙇

Trump is not a man remotely bothered by mass death. He simply does not care. Again, such insouciance might not be new when it comes to America’s thirst for war. But carrying it so openly and inelegantly is something else entirely.

The German submarine U-852 fired on survivors after sinking their Greek ship, the Peleus. There were survivors and after WW II, 5 crew members of U-852 were tried for war crimes. 2 went to prison but the captain and 2 officers were sentenced to death by firing squad. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz-W...

it’s not like we couldn’t have seen this coming (more than a year ago)… youtu.be/sedx7rkSOMc?...

U.S. May Have Committed War Crime In Sinking Of Iranian Ship:

Master class from Prof. Nichols! 🙇

Lots of antiaircraft fire in Beirut right now. It's 2 a.m. there. Live stream: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO0S...

By 'pause' Planet means they will delay images of 'friendly' Middle East countries for 96 hours before releasing them. Fair enough, at least they're still releasing them. 💁 No such delay applies to images of Iran. Also fair. 😉

The Captain of this Iranian logistics ship asked for Sri Lanka's help after claiming it had engine failure but I expect it was a torpedo avoidance maneuver. 😉 Sri Lanka takes custody of an Iranian vessel off its coast after US sank an Iranian warship:

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones. Russia helps Iran track American forces. And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil. Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor. snyder.substack.com/p/the-oligar...

I saw this from an earlier post and I had to share.

LAUNCH of Rocket Lab Electron from Mahia at 2353 UTC Mar 5 carrying a BlackSky Global Gen3 imaging satellite

So not too big to fail but so big it WILL fail! 🫣

She's right, you know.

Strong recommend if you are interested in cosmology. The videos are succinct – most around 6 minutes long – and the explanations are satisfying. Same goes for the "Quantum 101" videos.

Immediately after launch there are lots of tasks. While reconfig'ing Endeavour for orbit, I took detailed images of our jettisoned external tank. If it was scarred, then our belly tiles were likely damaged: important, to try & fix before the heat of re-entry. Luckily it was clean - an amazing day!

Cricket's revenge! 😁

Widgetting up for a world war... 🫣

Canada refused to give support to an illegal war in 2003. We faced enormous pressure to go along with the USA. What we see today is a totally illegal war launched by two dangerous criminal leaders. There is no NATO mission here. This is Operation Epstein. www.independent.co.uk/voices/iran-...

#Space #NASA I just received my first invitation to speak about my space history book, "Return to Launch." It would be in DC. The publisher once again is offering a preorder discount. Effective March 26 it will be $38, but with the promo code 31DC326 it's $25. floridapress.org/978168340656...

First is was tariffs, now this! Thanks America! Canadian gas prices impacted by Middle East conflict: Drivers across Canada are feeling the economic impact of escalating tensions in the Middle East, with gas prices jumping in multiple regions. Analysts warn that further increases could be on the way

Maybe revisiting the colourful iMac days of the '90s isn't a bad idea! 🤔 But this looks like a great entry level Mac that should satisfy most folks day to day needs. (I fixed or upgraded a number of iMacs back in the day and they were fun to work on! 🙇)
