I really hope they take this opportunity to tell him to go pound sand…
Great tune! w/Jimmy Page on guitar too! <3
The curse holds.
Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:
The short peak season has begun in the strawberries on CA's Central Coast. In this 9 hour day, "Irma" managed to pick 90 flats or 1,020 of the plastic 1 pint boxes we buy at a supermarket. (A flat holds 12 plastic one pint baskets). She earns $2.20 a flat. #WeFeedYou
The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.
A truly extraordinary moment.
We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
Act like it.
New piece covers:
- The ethno-nationalist revolt under Pat Buchanan and the GOP’s aggressive embrace of “culture war” politics in the 1990s
- the mainstreaming of militant nativism after 9/11
- the Right’s unhinged reaction to the first Black president and Trump’s rise
- the future of the GOP.
Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
Way back in the old days, people tended to get more conservative as they grew older. But that's no longer true.
Research scientist @ryanburge.bsky.social broke down gradual changes in political ideology between 2008-2024 for groups of people born in different years.
Incursion, excursion, let’s call the whole thing off…

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
So you’re saying he’s gonna charge in overconfident, over reach, gas himself out and then get his head handed to him - just like in those old crusades?
That tracks.
trading "big muddy" for "big sandy".
We're in Guatemala testifying in front of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights about the illegality and harm of the Trump administration's strikes on civilian boats at sea.
At today's first-of-its-kind hearing, we will urge the Commission to hold the U.S. accountable for these murders.
Last night Mrs P opened the door to let the dogs out, and a bird flew in. It took a little time but she got it to land on a dust mop and then carried it slowly down the stairs and out the front door. Image search says it was an Eastern Phoebe. Glad it’s ok. #berbs
I feel dumber every time I have to listen to these goofballs.
1. Trump was told a war could trigger oil shocks, especially at home, where the affordability issue is rapidly eating the heart out of his presidency. But risks were “downplayed,” the Times said, in favor of a plan to “decapitate” Iran.

I think saying they miscalculated gives them too much credit for having calculated @ all.
felt like they were doing a 70s-80’s-90’s thing with that trio. Edge has always been humble, is by all accounts a genuinely nice guy and developed an iconic sound all his own. I respect that. 💯 Keef would have been fun for sure. He lives a few miles away. Played in local pubs a few times bitd.

The number of days in a row the price of a gallon of gas has risen.
Trying to put my finger on why.
I mean…
not at all :)
Any time 3 or more guitarists assemble, they will play “The Weight”. It’s a thing.
Hegseth should spend a little less time worrying about how he looks in photos and a little more time fixing the fucking disaster he has created in Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
The peepers have awakened :)
