I thought the Post was focused on “personal liberties and free markets,” but I guess people ordering elaborate coffee was a bridge too far.

Pervert Politics: Trumpism’s Body Obsessions How Republicans went from the party of prudes to the party of perversion.

"Trump was animated when describing the bloodied and mangled bodies of people. This obsession...is a hallmark of right-wing politics in America...America's descent into lawless, violent government is at least a little bit a story of psychosexual unmooring."

I'm not some anti-war peacenik, but this war in Iran is so dumb, pointless, and illegal that one might be tempted to think I am based on my posts.
We have no clear objectives. We have no strategies. We have the dumbest motherfuckers in the world treating this like a COD game. We are committing war

Keys have pretty sharp edges. I don’t understand how these things happen, but I don’t have boobs so I have no way to really understand it.

This is why it’s a bad idea to start wars of choice in the Middle East with uncertain objectives. Did we apparently not learn that lesson a couple of decades ago?

I just keep tapping this sign over and over. bsky.app/profile/clay...

A 5 day chart of April crude oil futures showing that they’re up 45% with massive volatility

The volatility in oil prices overnight is just wild. It started at $100/bbl, went to nearly $120/bbl, dropped back to $100/bbl, and is now heading up again.

And the WGA award for best writing in a tragedy show goes to Reality!

I actually have a good friend who moved to Iceland a couple of years ago because he thought it would be a better place to raise his kid than the US.

The problem is that Trump would lose face if he does a TACO when Iran is replacing Supreme Leader Khameini with…Supreme Leader Khameini.

Probably. Feb/March of 2022 was a big move but we started closer to $80 when that happened, so this move from ~$60 is really crazy.

A friend of mine once lost her Palm Treo in her bra. Unfortunately, when she was drunk she got in the hot tub in her clothes, so the phone didn’t survive the incident. bsky.app/profile/clay...

You want awe? You want inspiration? Go look up at “100,000 tons of diplomacy”.

You know why we stopped building battleships? Because missile-armed jets have longer range than guns.

Iran-Contra, when Reagan sold weapons to the country we’ve supposedly been at war with since forever.

This was the same thing these people said last year about the tariffs.

I'm a girl. All my childhood I was told the stuff I liked was either stupid (the cartoons and stuff I liked) or gross (caring about bugs) or somehow wrong otherwise. So shut the hell up about "wah wah wah my boys need to see warfighteriness"

I thought about going back and replying to him with the update and saying “still looks parabolic to me.” 😂

If Dem governors were good at theater they would send police out to guard gas stations because of all of the reported theft and fighting around gas pumps. Media is suppressing these reports that I'm now reporting.

And now it’s trading at $106.

You called it.
