If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.
BUCK: Once again, Team USA refusing to shake hands with their opponents
SMOLTZ: well, I like it. Old school.

ὍΜΗΡΟΣ: Diomedes said he had no quarrel with his enemy

It’s all this country and its national teams knows. They can never be normal. Every other team comes to international competition to compete and make themselves and their fans happy. The USA teams are always like, we’re going to war to KILL our enemies and lay our bodies on the line for HONOR!
When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
Last year, I wrote about how the WNBA is the best show about labor on TV. I was, and remain, right.

Nuthin’ but a Gene Thang: The New Gen Z Trend of “KeadyMaxxing”
This is a logical result of the conflation of the national anthem with militarism, which has long existed but got much worse post-9/11. @howardbryantbooks.bsky.social's "The Heritage" is essential reading on this
The final two points Bam scored in his 83 were free throws with 1:16 left, pushing the lead to 24.

ESPN isn't covering the bombing of one the most famous stadiums on earth so.... my latest piece @thenation.com "The Razing of Iran’s Azadi Stadium Is Straight Out of Israel’s Gaza Script" www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Jim Cramer suggests on CNBC that Trump could “bomb Tehran into the Stone Age” until Iran reopens the strait, citing U.S. bombings of North Vietnam in the 1970s. Carl Quintanilla points out to him that Hanoi won that war.
