Jimmy Kimmel presenting Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars: "Oh man, is he going to be mad his wife wasn't nominated for this."

I don't know how many of you remember the Steele dossier story but this is what The Guardian had to say about it. Personally, I think it has a lot of credence and believe it because of the magazine's reputation. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

absolutely spot-on

Can add Oscar winner when mentioning Michael B. Jordan. He wins Best Actor for Sinners. #Oscars

F.C.C. Chair, Brendan Carr, threatened to revoke networks licenses because of accurate coverage of Trump’s war. Another step towards the weakening of democratic institutions, consolidate power, eliminate free press and eliminate opposition.

The war with Iran is insanity in its own right. But it is gross incompetence Trump went to war with Iran with no plan to keep open the Strait of Hormuz. Now Iran is laying mines, global oil shipping is paralyzed, gas prices are skyrocketing and food prices are close behind.

I love this.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s 116.1 mph double is the 4th-fastest tracked batted ball in the last 2 WBCs (tracking history), behind: 3/11/23 Shohei Ohtani 2B: 118.7 mph 3/6/26 Shohei Ohtani 2B: 117.1 mph 3/6/26 Oneil Cruz HR: 116.8 mph

and she asked all the women in the room to stand up because (paraphrased) “i wouldn’t be here without all of you.” such an amazing moment.

JULIO!

FIRST FEMALE OSCAR WIN IN CINEMATOGRAPHY EVER

@bsky.app is still not cutting it on nights of live events like tonight with Oscars and WBC. Still too hard to find clips.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

“America’s health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system.” .. (quote Walter Cronkite) .. (cartoon David Horsey)

Khanna on Fox News: "There was no imminent threat. Now there's a threat to the United States. We've created a threat."

Every member of Team USA is free to quit their lucrative career playing sports and go join the military like Pat Tillman did. This is all just cosplaying eyewash. It's a game. It's entertainment. It's supposed to be fun, not joyless, humorless war.

Yesterday was my sobriety anniversary, won’t say for how long because when I was first in the program people who had two whole weeks gave me hope, but I figured people with a year or more couldn’t be as alcoholic as I was. If you’re new, though, trust me: have hope.

The dude is circling the drain. He’s now calling on people in media to be imprisoned for treason if they don’t report on the war to his liking.

Here’s my plea to the national security press: don’t report what he announces at face value. You’ve been suckered over and over to cover his fake trade deals and ceasefire “announcements” like they are real. He’s desperate to look like he’s got a plan. Make sure it’s not fake.

Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase. However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase. And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase. THIS IS INSANE.

Here's the Tucker bit:

Jeremy Culhane’s Tucker impression was incredible, and Marcello’s red heart was hilariously bested by Mikey’s aerial tramway.

OK, this Tucker Carlson impression on Saturday Night Live last night is uncanny! Has all the verbal tics and go-to phrases down, and nails the high-pitch cackle.

JB Pritzker: “When you've got somebody taking ppl's rights away & the president is taking ppl's rights away — when he's attacking ppl's freedoms, when he's not following the law, when he's corrupt & enriching himself — I don't know how on earth you can stand w/ Trump & say, well, let’s work w/ him”

As a retired pilot, this one hits close to home. Six American airmen lost their lives over Iraq this week. They were young. They had dreams. They chose to serve anyway. A few thoughts on their sacrifice — and the price of war. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

As grotesque, ignorant and evil as Trump is, it's the billionaire oligarchs propping him up and funding his evil who are the bigger villains in all of this. Trump is just the easily manipulated idiot there to carry out their bidding.

From the ‘Moonlight’-‘La La Land’ mixup to Bjork’s swan dress, look back at memorable moments from the Oscars ahead of tonight’s show

Of course, what they mean by freedom is their freedom to do whatever they want to other people. Not our freedom to complain about it.

McCarthyism is back with a vengeance on both sides of the Atlantic, with major government clampdowns on people challenging official narratives. Yet we hear not a peep from those who get so exercised about students not wanting fascists to speak at universities. Cos that's the real threat, isn't it?

Funny how all the "free speech" warriors go so quiet when actual state censorship comes along. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

In an ironic twist, AI is disrupting tech the most. Hardware prices are surging as AI data centers buy up all the RAM, SaaS stocks are sinking over threats from vibe-coded alternatives and AI agents, and AI productivity job cuts are hitting tech hardest. The tech industry is cannibalizing itself.

March is a special time for Patrick Ewing, whose journey to the Basketball Hall of Fame began with three Final Four runs and a title at Georgetown.

Venezuela became the first team to ever knock out Japan before the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic.

"Media advocacy groups have said Carr is trying to pressure media companies into submission and self-censorship, which would achieve some of what Trump wants without explicit government action," writes Brian Stelter | Analysis https://cnn.it/4sK9d04

Cancel the MLB season and give me six months of this. Team USA is only invited if it can remove the stick from its ass and remember the joy of this children’s game.

Armed gun owners in VA showed up outside the State Capitol in Richmond this afternoon to rally against new gun control measures. Governor Spanberger is due to sign into law a ban on the sale of assault weapons & large capacity magazines in the state. Oh, and the larger the gun the smaller the penis

People dog on the World Baseball Classic and it’s legitimately one of the most intense sporting events in existence. The single elim nature of it makes it an eternal Game 7 vibe. It’s awesome.

Secretary Jaegermeister is so butch and SO not stupid that he just invited Iran to kill any US POWs; since Super-Christian Pete says that’s ok to do now.

5/ CRISIS TWO: We can destroy Iran’s missiles but not all their drones, and war today is drone war. Iran can hit oil sites in the region indefinitely because they posses so many cheap, weaponized drones. And they are. They blew up a critical Oman oil depot two days ago.

4/ What about naval escorts for tankers? This is a possibility, but it’s harder than you think. First, it would require our entire navy. 100 tankers need escorting each day. Second, if we can’t destroy the mines and drones, our ships are at risk too.

3/ Right now, Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait. And a plan may not exist. The assets Iran uses to harass and attack tankers - thousands of small drones, speed boats and mines - cannot be eliminated. They are too numerous, too spread out and hidden.
