Attacking Iran looks like it will cost US consumers about 40 cents/gallon.

It's not right but I remember waking up on deployment in 2016 seeing my roommate scrolling the news in a panic saying "he won oh my god he won" and I kind of laughed at how far the Democrats had fallen and maybe we need a sort of Leto II for the Democrats is all I'm saying.

This Hit Series Wasn’t Created for Black Fans. We Made It Our Own Anyway. Our long and complicated relationship with the late Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball.

Akira Toriyama died two years ago today. When he passed, I explained how Black American fans of Dragon Ball reinterpreted the series into a contemporary pillar of our culture.

I loved writing this essay, and I hope you enjoy it, too. Piccolo is wearing a wave cap.

Ignoring the obvious left wing reasons to prosecute these insiders even as a CIA Democrat you can justify prosecutions based on illegal use of highly classified information and profligate use of your security clearance.

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

All I can think about is all the 18-22 year old service members who are going to die so this cabal of pedophiles can delay their reckoning.

I spent over a month outside the US last year. Greece, Portugal, Mexico. All of them were great and welcome changes from day-to-day. But living in a place that’s growing like a weed, full of friendly & polite people, and lots of opportunities to touch grass makes this kind of post hard to relate to
