Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

Amen

About that curse where your dad jokes turn into public policy.

Current events confirm the achieved wisdom of time-honored classics in the social sciences.

...you're supposed to “get so drunk you can’t tell the difference between ‘bless <Mordechai the hero>’ and ‘curse <Haman the villain>’.

Sorry. Twenty-five years on, I'm still talking through it.

We were still shaken by the first mass foreign mass attack on US soil, which the Bush administration used to its advantage. Now all normies known for decades that we're not safe—not from terror, not from disease, and not from the whims of our increasingly unaccountable government.

it is weird to know the peak of success as a content creator is "many brand deals and a podcast with multiple advertisers" while I was taught in journalism school how some reporters do not drink coffee at press events to avoid conflicts of interests

Not loving the desire people have to uplift the “good Iranians” to shame the “bad Iranians”

Same goes for fact-checking. They are here to protect you, writer, from the hell you will pay for getting a small detail about the life of Bob Dylan wrong.
