Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.
Take the damn money and leave me alone.
19 percent, christ. and that not counting eg the Twitter purchase www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...
Fact check the details with family members. Kids don’t always know the real story.
ICE is converting an 825,000 sq ft warehouse near Hagerstown, MD into a detention facility for 1,500 people. The taxpayer spending so far is $215 million. Here's what you need to know. 🧵
Just shy of a month ago.
someone at the pentagon frantically typing “Claude, open the strait of Hormuz for me, quickest possible strategy, make no mistakes.”
I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone experiencing what honestly looks like the apocalypse is going to regard it as a form of liberation or that anyone responsible for it actually cares about how Iranians regard it at all.
love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region
the president has no idea what he has set in motion. none.

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..
Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.
This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.
44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

My midlife crisis is becoming a part-time dahlia farmer with two friends on my island — we launched our store yesterday & it's almost sold out but there are still some of my absolute favs in stock

one of the great joys of the last few years has been watching Annie and her pals build this hobby out into something that reaches so many people...a legit labor of love turned into a business!
Donald Trump combining in one week the worst crises of the Jimmy Carter (oil prices/inflation), Reagan (Iran-Contra), HW Bush (massive deficit), Clinton (Epstein-related), George W. Bush (Iraq debacle) Barack Obama (Libya) & Biden (the economy is fine/doddering) presidencies is quite an achievement
You start to realize the era of the nation state is long since dead and that everything that happens is wealth and oligarchical class jockeying for power between people and groups that sometimes partner and sometimes hold the global economy hostage in a perpetual game of chicken.
They're going to poison a city with 17 million people
Worth watching this clip in full. Nothing he says sounds reassuring in any way. He sounds like a kid who’s in way over his head and is just bullshitting.
Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.
Investigators now say the U.S. likely bombed a girls’ school in Iran, killing over 160 people, mostly children. If confirmed, it would rank among the worst civilian massacres of America’s Middle East wars.

If someone wants to come in and detail the way the system is not perfect please do not. This is USAID all over again. USAID can both be problematic and the way that you fix it is not shuttering programs mid-stream leaving people to die.
The *goal* is to harm Cuba I get that. But a lot of other places are going to be harmed if the US keeps going this route.
You know how there are Thai restaurants everywhere because the Thai government was doing culinary diplomacy?
Cuba was doing that only for healthcare, not least in Carribean countries that are struggling from brain drains to the US and the UK

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
I wonder what happened the last time the government limited Bostonians access to their favorite drink.
