The military has studied putting mirrors in orbit for years. War is easier when you can see your opponents.

A one month chart of oil prices

Oil prices are going parabolic. This is insane.

This.


The image is of graves being dug for the girls killed when the U.S. bombed their school.

Comic. [Person 1 talking to a person with shoulder-length hair and a person with a white hat.] PERSON 1: I would never get an electric vehicle. Sure, they sound great, but what do you do if the battery runs out of charge? [caption] I felt pretty silly when someone finally explained tome that EVs are rechargeable.

This is Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler Jaggers, an aviation survival technician based out of Astoria, Oregon.

He died Thursday after suffering critical injuries Feb. 27 during a rescue off the coast of Oregon, the Coast Guard says.

RIP.

This is why you don’t cheer war like it’s a game.

The only laptop Kristi cares about is Corey's

It’s amazing how people who align themselves with Trump don’t understand that it’s like becoming a coach in professional sports. The day you’re hired by Trump is one day closer to being fired by Trump. He goes through people the way he goes through Depends diapers. And he tends to crap on both.

SHE IS MAKING A SPEECH ON LIVE TV AND HAS NOOOOOO IDEA THAT SHE’S BEEN FIRED!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.

The people of Iran must be scared out of their minds, hearing Donald Trump say *he* will appoint their new leader, only moments before appointing America's Stupidest Senator, Markwayne Mullins, to run Homeland Security.

We need to stop calling them clowns. All we’re doing is slandering actual clowns.

Noem's been fired. Get a better look at Markwayne Mullin, the bully/pedophile/felon’s choice to take the helm at DHS.

Trading a headache for an upset stomach.

9 Minutes To 97%: BYD Just Made EV Charging Basically As Quick As Getting Gas It’s also the world’s most powerful fast charger, arranged like your neighborhood gas station.

BYD's new Flash chargers are capable of delivering 1,500 kilowatts of power, enough to charge an EV to 97% in just nine minutes.

Something that he made up to persuade her to go quietly?

I'm sure that Republicans in the Senate are happy to be to be rid of him.

Waiting for independent confirmation.

Although it's over ten years old, I continue to recommend David Crist's book about relations between Iran and United States.

Crist works for the US Department of Defense, as a senior historian.

The Slush Fund at the Jail Profits from inmate calls and tablet purchase have gone to things that appear to run afoul of state law.

Legal fees to a firm that does no criminal law, deputy uniforms, maintenance equipment, and office furniture and supplies. 2/

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

If you believe for one second that Donald Trump, the man-whore in chief, who is obsessed with keeping young, physically attractive women around him at all times, was unaware of anything to do with Kristi Noem's "look at me, look at me" DHS ads that ran endlessly on TV, you might be stupid.

This is the Republican Party now.

/4 Anyway, a long-time theme of Trumpism, and an increasingly common theme of the Republican Party, is that violence is justified against protesters because protesters are evil. It’s a deeply foul, thuggish, un-American sentiment.

I initially thought that Joel was sharing an old news story because I didn’t realize that this is different from the New York/Arizona/Vermont/Arizona YOUNG Republican Nazi group chat.

So, I had an interesting day.

Remember when Rochester had a reputation for low cost healthcare?

Excellus reports largest increase in claims cost in 20 years Among the big cost drivers was what the health plan said was the rapid growth in specialty drugs such as those used to treat inflammatory conditions, or Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

“Excellus CEO Jim Reed’s total compensation stood at $4.49 million, up from $3.97 million a year ago. Pay raises, bonuses and other payments fueled an overall 10% increase in total compensation for the Rochester-based company’s 10 highest-paid executives.”
