Ukraine has regained more territory than at any time since 2023 and this moment is the exact moment when Trump decides to drop sanctions on russian oil, the profits of which putin will use directly for attacking Ukraine further.
Unhinged. Untethered to reality. Unfit. Incontinent. Lying to the American People and the world. We deserve so much better.
Oh, totally. One of the greatest of greats.

Hi! The Onion and Bluesky are throwing a party at South By Southwest in Austin on Saturday. It's free and spots are limited, so sign up nowish.
We did this last year and only a handful of people died, so we're hoping to keep those numbers down once again!

Iran has begun laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, the worldโs most important energy chokepoint that carries about one-fifth of all crude oil, according to two people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue.

I spent 4 months trying to answer a simple question: has this book been translated into my language?
Turns out no one tracks this. Not ISBN registries. Not Amazon. Not Google. Not libraries.
So I built a tool that crosses four databases to piece it together.

Remember guys, you canโt afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
Thatโs why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
Dear media:
This is a war ON Iran not a war WITH Iran
We invaded them, we bombed them, we killed them without provocation or justification
They are rightly defending themselves, even if the ruling regime is a bunch of evil bastards

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
We're spending $1 billion per day on war as millions of working people struggle to get by.
Meanwhile, America's ultra-rich have never been richer.
Oh, I don't know. If Aun Rand is the alternative, I'd rather stick with the great cartoons here. :)
Let's frighten the population with a shadow enemy that enables further authoritarianism, a posteriori justification for an enormously destructive initiative aimed at reducing Iran to a failed state...

Major Update: Trump Says War is "Very Complete" and Seeks Quick Off-Ramp as he Floats Taking Over Strait of Hormuz open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
Schlossberg: If this becomes the new normal and the president is able to trademark Americaโs birthday and issue his own currency while weakening the dollar, having gold skyrocket, and increasing prices on every commodity and input cost in our economy, weโre getting screwed and heโs getting rich.
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, thatโs treason.
Also known as "using insider knowledge for war profiteering."
Frankly, if this comes as any surprise then you really need to start paying attention.
I know. But it's good to enjoy it for a little while! :))
