This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
Just brought my mother on a wonderful journey from Freud to the development of the vibrator, and I know I can't trust her reaction because she's my mom, but I think I might have a career as a stand-up comedienne
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."
Just saying it right out loud now.

What if we put women in charge of everything. Just, you know, to see what would happen. I'm betting not this, for one thing.
oh fuck off
we remain firmly on track for 'republican president leaves the country an omnishambles, next democratic president is punished for not cleaning it up fast enough'

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
i’d like for some people to grapple with the fact that “the most important election of our lifetime,” if you actually mean it, implies that the governance period following it is also the most important governance period of our lifetime, and adjust their demands/expectations/behaviors accordingly
One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...
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:
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.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
“.. a claim that, if true, would constitute an unprecedented breach of security protocols at an agency that serves more than 70 million Americans.”

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
Truly unbelievable stuff. Just up there shamelessly lying his ass off
i’d go so far as to say bernie’s and warren’s proposals aren’t harsh enough. just take anything at or above a billion
don’t care about the revenue. light it on fire for all i care. it’s erasing political power and putting people in their place that matters
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

On March 8, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Six male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We’re still murdering people in “drug boats” even as we start a new war in Iran. Six people today.
The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

You bastards made the first five minutes of UP and you expect us to believe you’re worried about the audience needing therapy?
Without an immediate change in course, the impact of the Iran War is going to eclipse that of the 1970s energy crisis.
The 1970s energy crisis had profound economic, political, and social effects.
This is bigger than that.
Some of what happens now is foreseeable, but much will be unforeseen.
My brother, we had to explain a 1/3 pound burger was bigger than a quarter pound burger and still failed
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
