get well, Jello!

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

While we're talking about Live Nation/Ticketmaster's sweetheart antirust settlement, a reminder that it paid ZERO federal income tax last year on $145M in profits— largely due to Trump's tax cuts.

Trump works on behalf of the most powerful corporations.

Not you.

Every cat has to make a fateful choice one day about if he’s going to try and be nice to the person who gives him food or decide that he can probably get away with beating the shit out of that person

Noem associate Madison Sheahan bought 2,500 marked vehicles for ICE Despite ICE employees seeking to keep a low profile in public, ICE official Madison Sheahan placed a bulk order for marked vehicles.

Wild story from @washingtonexaminer.bsky.social:
ICE "wasted millions" to buy "thousands of employee vehicles that the agency cannot use to arrest illegal immigrants"

The problem: the vehicles are marked with ICE logo and motto

“ICE has never had marked vehicles,” person familiar said

A draft-dodger bringing back the draft would be sensational.

fake users engaging with fake products and spending fake money on them, while boiling the actual seas and plagiarising actual people, what a vision of the future

you see this in media pretty broadly as well

they want to create a giant (badly) automated ouroboros of engagement slop that shits ad engagement money without the need for pesky human labor

whether anything produced is actually useful, ethical, or even seen by a human is a distant afterthought

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

I'm consoling with the fact that this administration was going to do something catastrophically economically stupid sooner or later. There is a certain amount of perverse relief in realizing they've most likely finally gone and done it.

we’ve had two truly enormous crises under Trump and the first one was covid which everyone apparently gave him a pass for despite the fact that he made it worse

but this one is completely, obviously, unquestionably his fault and would not have happened without him

Bear penis to remain on Bernese coat of arms The bear on the coat of arms of canton Bern will continue to display its red penis, the cantonal government has ruled.

The woke mind virus didn't triumph over the red penis of a Bear on the flag of Bern.

"The bear has a tradition that goes back at least 600 years and has been represented in this way since the 15th century, it said."

Solar and wind would like to remind you this is an oil crisis, not an energy crisis.

Probably a good time for Democrats to point out Trump has never once pumped his own gas in his whole life. He has almost no idea how much gas costs or how it impacts normal people's budgets.

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei
• More hardline than father
• He’s the IRGC candidate
• Relatively young: 56
• Avoids public
• Trusted by father, clerics
• Was in military during Iraq-Iran war
• His wife, Zahra, killed in Israeli airstrike w his father

and that's the best one! boooo, your parents

“President DJT”: both all powerful and a victim!

Senator Graham, can you summarize that principal motivation for going to war against Iran?

Every single professional journalist who uses the phrases “Department of War” or “Secretary of War” without scare quotes should be lined up on a public viewing stage and bopped on the head with a giant inflatable hammer that says DUMB DUMB on the handle and makes fart sounds.

huh, makes the whole 25 year period when the Shah was our top ally kind of awkward

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

she should be in prison

If you are sitting on blackmail material about Lindsey Graham--and I cannot imagine what it would be--it is your moral and patriotic duty to just release it. You'll get paid in watching that sumbitch lose his ability to push for mass murder.

don't spend your money at Starbucks

All I know is that if Kamala had won, the extraction of resources to directly feed the billionaire class would have gone on in a far more orderly manner

i had a dream i started a radio station that consisted entirely of the sounds of things being sharpened and people talking about things being sharpened

NEW: An unlawful attack on a primary school in southern Iran before midday on February 28, 2026, that reportedly killed scores of civilians, including many children, should be investigated as a war crime.
