Mowed the lawn. It was very shaggy, ground still quite wet. But! First fully clear blue sky in ages! Birds are singing in the trees, including the one who impersonates car sirens. Spring is coming.

That is why Spain is against this disaster, because we understand that governments
are here to improve people’s lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make
people’s lives worse.
And it is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are incapable of fulfilling that
task make use of war to hide their failure whilst filling the pockets of a fewβ€”the usual
ones.

Pete Hegseth’s Troubled Soul The defense secretary appears unable to approach matters of of life and death with even the slightest bit of reverence or humility.

Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon briefings since the war against Iran began β€œhave reminded the world why he is exactly the wrong person to hold the position he does,” Peter Wehner argues:

Can we quit this habit of making superhero suits look like repurposed motorbike leathers, please? If the Winter Olympics proved anything, it's how great spandex can look.

The home heating oil situation is terrible for many unlucky enough to be about to refill. The outrage is this is an unregulated, unprotected, market (we've long called for that to change). We are subserving many, especially those who live in rural communities.

Going against maritime law. America is, together with multiple other actions, showing it is as much a rogue state as any of its "enemies of the day".

It is genuinely possible that Kristi Noem is giving a live speech right now while completely unaware that the President has just fired her by tweet.

Keep in mind we already know the US-IDF alliance is committing war crimes, lying about casualties, lying about imminent threats, lying about timelines. And keep in mind the UK confirms the Cyprus strike came from Lebanonβ€”not Iran. Hezbollah has even *less* reason to anger the UK.

Religious zealots always cherry-pick. I mean, just once, couldn't they notice that Satan in The Book of Revelation is typically characterised as an orange Beast who loves gold?
