Nothing could honor the memory of Alfred Nobel more than letting folks know what everyone else will say about them when they pass away.

As for Trump, he is such a weird character, and so desperate to prove the lie that he's a self-made man and the most successful man in the world for his age, and he's constantly using his dad's money and lying about everything for his entire adult life. He's only becoming more himself as he ages.

It’s going to be wild when we can finally look back and trace all of these failures to a bottomless need to make his name synonymous with success.

The problem with Trump’s Iran war isn’t that he’s ending it. The problem is that he ever started it.

The Iranian news agency Mehr has been saying Iran gets $25 billion of impounded assets and the dropping of sanctions to make these negotiations happen. If they really get those, then any resumption of hostilities would involve the US somehow having even *less* leverage than now.

I keep thinking back not only to Trump's lifelong history of cheating on every deal he ever made, but especially to his surrender deal with the Taliban. He gave the Taliban everything they wanted, mostly postdated to early 2021, and got only a promise not to kill Americans before the 2020 elections.

Ever since Biden oversaw the completion of the deal Trump signed, Trump's insisted he intended to renege on that deal after the election. To be clear, after a year of Afghan authorities planning their escapes and making deals with the Taliban before the handover that would have failed disastrously.

Auschwitz was the first concentration camp established by the Germans after the outbreak of WW2 in occupied Poland. 14 June 1940 is considered the date of its creation, as on that day, the first Poles were deported there from Tarnów. Watch our "video history" episode:

This ocean-monitoring system was built over the past decade, and planned for decades before that. It cost hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars. And Trump is dismantling it. It's fucking obscene. It's the moral equivalent of shooting a missile to blow up the Hubble Space Telescope.

It is darkly hilarious that Robert’s ensured the bar they had to clear was not grabbing a megaphone and screaming “I’M JIMMY RACISM AND I LOVE RACISM SO MUCH I MADE THIS RACIST MAP BECAUSE ALABAMA WAS NOT RACIST ENOUGH FOR MY RACIST TASTES!“ and Alabama Republicans still somehow failed to clear it.

I know it's quaint to believe such things matter, but under 26 USC 7217 it's a crime for POTUS "to request, directly or indirectly, any [IRS] officer . . . to conduct or terminate an audit or other investigation of any particular taxpayer."

(even more deeply: "the steam engine" doesn't actually designate anything. it was a long series of incremental improvements and disseminations, not any one invention, and indeed was merely part of a larger tide of such innovations.)
