Drillers cannot increase production quickly enough to solve an oil supply crisis caused by Donald Trump’s war in Iran, industry bosses have warned, saying a big rise in output would take months to materialise. ft.trib.al/6JmcOUA

A lot of leftists are so anti-US and anti/imperial that they are out there posting in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran—the government that kills its own people, even following the wounded into hospitals to do so, only to then be self-righteous at attacks on hospitals.

Influencer's fleeing Dubai right now.

I see that Microsoft Windows' System Update process is today just as end-user labour intensive as it was 25 years ago. Now on the 5th iteration of "Download and update all" that failed because "other updates were downloading and installing".

These charges were not similar. Peters literally stole an innocent person’s identity and used it to illegally access systems protected by state law. And she remains unrepentant to this day.

Trump Goon, 70, Uses Deadly Iran War to Make Crude Innuendo The president’s ambassador to Israel chose an inopportune time to make an inappropriate joke.

A senior U.S. diplomat sent a bizarre memo to embassy staff sheltering in place during Trump’s war on Iran.

After Trump Officials Cut Food Aid to Kenya, Children Starved to Death “Brutal and traumatizing”: Interviews and a trove of internal documents show government officials and aid workers desperately tried to warn Trump advisers about impending disaster and death.

Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.

After Trump officials cut food aid to Kenya, children starved to death in an American-made hunger crisis.

Justice Alito’s latest opinion is a very, very bad sign for voting rights A decision upholding a New York GOP congressional district could be a prelude to killing the Voting Rights Act.

In his most recent opinion, Justice Alito is essentially saying that districts drawn under the Voting Rights Act or other federal and state laws to remedy centuries of racial discrimination are as racist as the racism they were meant to rectify.

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

What you're looking at is not a sunrise — it's the Russian LNG tanker ARCTIC METAGAZ (IMO 9243148) struck by a massive explosion in the Mediterranean this morning. Photographed by crew aboard a merchant vessel, via Vanguard Tech.

Assassination market but for the planet

so we’re just calling it “the war” now?

Many with long COVID remain on the job despite reduced ability to work

Many with long COVID remain on the job despite reduced ability to work.

"More than half of people in a cross-sectional study with long COVID said their ability to work was poor, yet most were still working, suggesting a substantial burden of “presenteeism,” or reduced productivity while on the job"

The former CEO of Ticketmaster is an unhinged NIMBY who frequently sends abusive text messages and emails to public servants.

This case is horrifying. The man had deferred action, was on a full path to a green card, is a college grad magna cum laude, and ICE arrested him randomly while looking for someone else:

“What do we do?” said one ICE officer, to which another replied “We’re going to take him with us anyway.”

Yet another event that should lead to immediate impeachment

EU banned Russian gas by 2027. The Iran war may undo it, Norway warns European gas prices hit multi-year highs as Gulf disruptions shake energy markets.

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

Trump: Spain has been terrible. In fact, I told Scott to cut off all dealings with Spain. Spain actually said that we can't use their bases. And that's all right. We could use their base if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it.

If you disregard Spain's sovereign rights today, you're essentially telling every EU member state that their sovereignty is conditional on American approval.
That would be the behavior of an occupying power and we Europeans will not accept that. We still have significant leverage over the US.🙄

A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Reminder that Thom Tillis voted FOR every single Trump nominee, but AGAINST Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Can anyone remind me? How did this turn out with the Mujahideen. There was never any blowback in Afghanistan right?

Where I live has some of the cheapest electricity rates in the country. But in 12 months the price we pay for our power has risen 52%. We were paying $0.0617 per kWH and now it's $0.939 per kWH.

What privacy? Meta's smart glasses are filming unwitting naked people Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are a privacy nightmare, with footage of naked people, sensitive information, and violent acts captured and seen by Meta's AI and an army of employees.

The partial sentence "[a]fter Rebecca got expelled following her Title IX complaint" tells you everything you need to know about how women are treated across academia (and not just STEM academia).

incredible scenes where this is apparently a thing that Khameni has been wanting for ages and others on the council were pushing back against because optics but now council's all dead and congratulations on toppling the regime by giving the previous leader exactly what he wanted- a family throne
