I heard the siren and it occurred to me that it was an unfortunate circumstance of timing that the test was scheduled mere hours after a deadly tornado hit the southwest part of the state.

That’s ok. It’s not like any of the goods we buy are shipped all over the place using diesel fuel.

If this is true (and of course Iran FM is not a reliable source) giving Iran a permission structure to hit civilian infrastructure in allies and even the US homeland is… not great.

GasBuddy data on diesel prices show the latest 3-, 5-, 6-, and 7-day increases all rank among the largest *ever* recorded.

Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base

In fairness I have a hybrid (yay) but it needs premium gas (boo), so price wise is a wash.

I would argue that the bad news is running because that obvs means a bear is chasing you, otherwise why would one do that?

Chlorine dioxide is an industrial bleach for lumber and freaks like RFK give autistic kids enemas with it. Kids die from the practice. These people just want autistic kids dead.

Eyeing Voting Rights, Liberals Aim to Secure Wisconsin’s Supreme Court through 2030 - Bolts After flipping the court in 2023, Wisconsin liberals now hope to expand their majority on a body that could be a critical backstop for voting rights during the next presidential election.

NEW: Believe it or not, it’s that time of year: the Wisconsin Supreme Court election is next month.

Liberals have a huge opportunity: if they win, they can lock down the majority of this court thru 2030.

That means they’d have it in the next presidential race, a big democracy guardrail.

I don’t think we’ve seen $5 gas in Michigan since I’ve lived here. If it breaks that, oh man that will be a day.

As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:

Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.

Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.

That’s fair. Then at least the refunds should be put in escrow until it’s sorted out who gets it.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

Historians looking back on the 2026 midterms and trying to explain how the Democrats managed to thrash Republicans will point to many causesβ€”but let me suggest that they should pay attention to these two words right here:

"I guess."
