the "The Saudis and Chinese are buying up our media companies and sending american kids to die in trump's war while you overpay for gasoline" dem messaging writes itself but they'll still find a way to fuck it up
And those thoughts would be “mmmmm, delicious, could we add a shot of alcohol?”
Spiced hot chocolates and coffee were such a huge fad in 18th century Britain that two kings tried to ban coffee shops and got shot down.
In some alternate, more sensible universe the government is helping farmers convert their marginal corn and soy fields to solar and wind energy production instead of helping them turn the excess corn and soy into a bad gasoline additive.
Chart from linked article, showing what % of of each major fertilizer type (nitrogen, phosphorus, & potassium) the US imports, 2000-2024. N has gone down from 21% imported to 6%. Phosphorus is a little up from 2% to 13%. Potassium has gone from 76% to 94%.
The US already makes 96% of the N fertilizer we use.
The fertilizer we import the most is POTASSIUM. Which we get from CANADA.
When we import phosphorus, we get 98% of it from PERU. Not Iran.
So the reason we've had trouble getting those is TARIFFS.

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.
I have dropped a book/fanfic because it’s written in the second person, to be fair.
When men's workload is automated, it's genius; when women's workload is automated it's a character flaw and morally questionable.
From the studio that brought you, "What if literally everything around you had feelings," and "Okay, what if your FEELINGS had feelings,"
Comes, "What, like queers have feelings?"
The fuck? These rich fuckers didn’t even pay a good bribe?
I’m going to nominate Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. Pure poetry, and a love letter to the power of wonder and kindness in the face of suffering.
This guy is somehow in charge of our fucking military. What a think to say at a summit for Latin AMERICAN leaders.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Most farmers in the United States today are wealthy landowners. They have a six figure income and a net worth of at least $1mil. They vote GOP because low taxes benefit them and because they know they will get bailouts.
@sarahtaber.bsky.social has a great video on it.

Looking forward to when a loaf of bread is $20 apiece, and NYT runs stories about poor Chet Heartland having to drive his F550 on $15/gal ethanol on a grocery run to the next town over so he can save a couple bucks on an $18 loaf
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
"Martinez was not protesting - he was driving by the scene of a road accident where ICE officers were helping to direct traffic."
"... he was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." Attorneys for Martinez's mother
what is the case for thinking that the duration of the conflict will be up to Trump?
Arrested at her green card interview and nearly murdered. This shit is criminal.
All I'm saying is Google had a vested interest in wrecking its magic search (people may have forgotten how insanely good it was, it was wizard level shit) because of how underwater they were on their AI investment and get you on to Gemini
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
The reason they’re called human rights is all human beings have them. If you’re talking about the supposed exclusive rights of the herrenvolk you should use another term or just switch to German entirely.
In the last 4 days one of my senators broke a Marine’s arm, the other one announced he wasn’t running minutes before the filing deadline so his hand-picked successor could take his place without a primary and my rep announced he was giving up his seat as well.
How’s y’all’s congresspeople doing?
“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
I had an aeronautical engineer, an airplane mechanic/union organizer, and a radiologist.
If there was video of a Senate Dem giving a compound fracture to a Marine while wearing his dress blues, that guy would've been burned at the stake by close of business
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
This is madness. I wrote about "peptides" a few years ago, before the trend really hit. People are injecting themselves with black-market liquids purported to contain experimental drugs that were abandoned for failing to show benefits or being unsafe.

An ICE detainee in Arizona has died of a TOOTH INFECTION after it went untreated for weeks, a local official says. He was a Haitian asylum seeker imprisoned in Florence, Arizona. @emilybregel.bsky.social reports.

“Huh I keep shouting ‘I HOLD YOU AND YOUR SKILLS IN IMMENSE CONTEMPT’ at my subordinates but for some reason they don’t seem very fond of me, wonder what that’s about”
