I like the idea of using other programs as a yardstick. If anyone wants another one, each day of this war is also three years of NPR and PBS funding.

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

Hey @theguardian.com the study itself is not specifically named and the link you provide is dead. Please fix. Where was it published? @rahmstorf.bsky.social
The ideal scenario here is he devotes most of his time to hosting a vanity reality show called Iran's Next Top Government Official.

The department shared FBI documents outlining allegations involving Trump.
I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

Now you see it, now you don't. Near the end of this extremely warm winter, California's snow is rapidly melting. My colleague @castleman.bsky.social shares some striking satellite images. He spoke with @weatherwest.bsky.social about the remarkably rapid loss of snow: www.latimes.com/california/s...
The fuck kind of answer is this
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Five years ago it was widely assumed the grid would always need gas peaker plants. So this is quite a sentence. Good article too.
"In the energy industry, we’ve spent decades leaning on a single, reliable “get out of jail free” card: the natural gas peaker plant...it’s becoming a liability."

This file should be printed verbatim on Page One of @nytimes.com with notations that all the redactions are by the people who work for trump. How appalling.

🚨⚖️👀 If true, this is horrifying. There are a lot of threats in the Epstein files and the messages telling victims to “keep their mouths shut” has been reported again and again. www.justice.gov/epstein/file... #doj #epstein #trump
Benjamin Netanyahu played Dufus Trump like a well worn guitar! But then Trump is a jackass anyway. We are now fighting Israel’s war against Arabs.
If I'm reading this right, *50% to 90%* of voters at high-turnout locations are being redirected to their precincts????
If that is causing voters to just give up, it would explain the massive undercount for Crockett thus far today in Dallas.

When Bluesky was down today I went back to Twitter and was punched in the face by the stench of abandoned aquarium. Milo Yiannopoulos, who I honestly thought was dead, stanning Hillary Clinton. Dem flaks earnestly retweeting Nick Fuentes. It’s time to cordon off anyone left and introduce alligators.
I grew up in primo Fetterman territory in central PA. I thought he was a breath of fresh air, but he also seemed just a little too performative. Like, real working class guys from PA wear their one suit when they go to an important event. They don’t wear a hoodie.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Maybe this? The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View from the Future. By Erik M. Conway and Naomi Oreskes. Both are climate scientists, this looks back from 2094 after climate change has disrupted modernity and asks why we failed to confront the carbon pollution from capitalism run amok.
There is no better way to insulate yourself from global oil & gas price volatility than to invest in technologies that generate useful heat & power without any oil & gas input. The Trump WH attack on renewables is a direct attack on your economic security.
Phil Knight is one of the biggest funders of the Oregon GOP because, like them, he’s a real populist who’s always looking out for the best interests of the little guy.
