There's another episode next week!
so the world's energy mix looks like this. around 20%-25% of the world's oil (7%pt of total energy) and a third of the world's gas (another 7%pt) goes thru hormuz.
right now that's been zero'd out, and there's no clear path back. a sixth of the world's energy supply is just... gone.
The White House position is that it is no big deal that Putin is helping Iran try to kill US soldiers.
Always remember rule #1. Putin can do no wrong in Trump’s eyes.
Wonder why that is?
Incredibly angry about this every day.
The people who pick on trans kids are not only disgusting freaks who want to inspect children's genitals, they're also miserable bullies who break the rules of decency laid down by every measurement of morality.
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Demo what now?
nyt website currently resembles one of those mock covers people made before 2016 election: economy floundering, war in the middle east, scandal-plagued cabinet sec, brazen corruption....
So we are fighting pointless wars, have a cratering economy, bringing back measles on purpose, running an ethnic cleansing operation, and the President has a child rape accuser all at the same time?
And the media covers him like he’s a normal President?
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.

M MacroEdge @ @MacroEdgeRes X.com "We are experiencing the largest loss of oil supply in history (3X bigger than the 1973 Arab oil embargo)" - @ericnuttall #MacroEdge 11:09 AM • 3/5/26 • 137K Views
There is a saying that when plans for war are made, the enemy has a say. Well, in this case, so do allies who are disproportionately affected.
Energy market analysts say the impact of the Iran War on supply could be bigger than the 1973 oil embargo.
they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends
I get the best commission requests! The Human Fly, drawn for David at #eccc @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social!
I know how fondly ROM is thought of by many 80s comics fans. Perhaps a few folks haven’t seen Jean Frisano’s covers for the ROM reprints in France’s Strange magazine. Clearly familiar, and sometimes, er, very familiar, & yet different enough in their own fun way.
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
Well, it’s “great” to see the “they attacked using old data” hypothesis is holding up to scrutiny.
Fucking hell.
“Almost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iran’s Minab at the time.“
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
This weekend I’ll be at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social artist alley table L-08. I’ll be taking commissions at the show, will have original art from BATMAN/GREEN ARROW/THE QUESTION: ARCADIA and I’ll be selling this new TWIN PEAKS print.
This bill would let Florida officials label organizations and individuals "domestic terrorists" through a "guilt by designation" process that could be weaponized against those criticizing the government.
Florida state senators must protect our constitutional rights and reject this dangerous bill.
2026 nuclear family meme— featuring Fritzi as Neurodivergent Aunt, Sluggo as Sluggo, Nancy as Daughter, Nancy Jr as Woke Dog
seems bad
The “shield” is intolerable here as well.
“Parents tried to shield their children from water. Instead they died of dehydration.”
That’s what the @nytimes.com headline here says. Both “shield” and “instead” appallingly reinforce anti-vax attitudes and frames.
A screenshot of the Polymarket website showing a prediction market titled "Nuclear weapon detonation by...?" under the Geopolitics and Ukraine categories. The market displays three betting options with their current probabilities and "Buy Yes" or "Buy No" prices: "March 31" at 5%, "June 30" at 12%, and "Before 2027" at 22%. The total trading volume shown is over $843,000.
Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.
My third (of five) connected Speed Racer covers has been revealed! Issue 8 by @peposed.bsky.social and Davide Tinto from @madcavestudios.com !
Big Barda drawing from days gone by.
NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.
We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."
States have started proposing steep reductions in disability services to cope with Medicaid cuts in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Idaho is the first to suggest scrapping home care altogether — An action with a high human cost. My latest @19thnews.org.
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.
