Brigadier Gen. (Ret.) Steve M. Anderson in response to Pete Hegsethβs Thursday rant about βno quarterβ said that instead of being called Secretary of War by Trumpβs fake renaming of the department, he should be titled Secretary of War Crimes.
Somehow I don't think this was part of the "Venezuela Model" POTUS had in mind for Iran.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."
Wowβ¦.
I don't think I've seen the Simpsons episode where Lisa got access to a time machine ;)

An astounding statement from a federal judge about the executive branch, generally; the Justice Department, more particularly; and these subpoenas, specifically.
The largest mass suicide to ever take place inside the U.S. was the Heaven's Gate cult in 1997. All 39 bodies were found wearing the same Nike shoes.
I *love* science fiction, and I blocked this company on my media feeds a while back. They are just awful, and this job ad lays that bare.

Like everything else in our timeline, our version of "callow young white boys blithely fuck everything up, never appreciate the damage they did, and face zero accountability" is just so f'ing ham-handed & over-the-top. Not believable. Terrible writing.
This is the best lede I've seen in a tech story in...years? There should be an award just for ledes.

We need reparations for ICE victims.

In my research of early Asian actors in Hollywood, I recently learned of Philip Ahn. Born in LA in 1905, his parents were among the earliest Korean immigrants to the US. He was a childhood friend of Anna May Wong.
I thought I was prepared... π±
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
NEW: Before the Iran War, Trump ignored warnings that Iran could retaliate across the region and stop oil shipments. Now, with energy markets in chaos, some aides are pessimistic about the lack of a strategy to end the war. But they haven't told Trump. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/u...

The US is a lawless gangster nation run by criminal idiots of world historic proportions -
Trumpβs pronouncement Steve witcoff - a real estate grifter lackey and his moronic son in law - told him Iran was going to attack him
Is the dumbest reason
In earth history for starting a world war
The researchers also note that 25% of active-duty US Marines developed Long Covid "after mostly mild or asymptomatic infection."
Trivia: it got referred to as the "Spanish Flu" b/c only Spain talked about the 1918 influenza pandemic: Western wartime censorship prevented discussion of the disease.
Ossoff: "The president appears increasingly to have lost touch with reality. That is deeply concerning when you have a a cabinet much more concerned with winning his favor than giving good advice & the nation now plunged into war. It speaks to the necessity of winning these midterms in a landslide."
