every single person who considers themselves left of center and finds themselves handing it to marjorie taylor greene right now is at best being a putz and at worse are an indication of how easily left-populism can be co-opted

well by the void I do mean broadcast radio but good for you. Posts like this can help Republicans dismiss all such complaints as Democratic lies, tho

I created this entire sequence with my camera, using human skills. Something like this would have cost dozens of dollars in prompting, but for me it was completely free.

They cross-bred frat boys for decades in an underground facility to create this face. The human rights violations were unspeakable, but you can't argue with results

Those three downed jets run around $90 million each.

It cost $20 million a year to operate the food kitchens serving 816,000 people in Sudan.

The world needs more spaceports. Oman wants to help Can a small country build a space industry from scratch?

I went there last year right around this time on assignment. I've been to Duqm. The country has overcome so much and worked so hard to modernize in a way that increases quality of life, and everyone should be nice to them or at least leave them alone

I know this isn't the worst thing that's happened or even in the top 20 probably but I'm really sad that Oman got attacked. They've worked so hard to stay neutral. They've made friends with every single country. Just a small unassuming nation doing its best. It's not fair

Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz after our attack is the most predictable thing that has ever happened, which suggests that whoever signed off on Operation Epic Fury isn't particularly worried about November elections. For whatever reason

The Strait of Hormuz crisis explained: What it means for global shipping The Middle East conflict has stoked fears of prolonged disruption to global trade via key maritime corridors.

Not to, you know, encourage panic, but 20% of the world's oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz and if this war continues for any length of time things are going to get a lot more expensive.

Today might be a good day to go shopping, fill up on gas, etc

No one wants to talk about horseshoe theory but there's economic policy overlap between the populist right and the left. The difference is we mean it, and we want it for everyone not just white people

Lotta people don't want to hear that, which makes them susceptible to it when it comes around
