An insane warlord facing death contemplates invading Persia as his last hurrah and has enormous issues with supply lines, treacherous foreign allies, and rising debts. Is it Phillip II or Donald Trump? Take the quiz!
Here is a man with more simple moral integrity & courage that the vast bulk of Dem electeds & pundits.
Yep. “Knowing who to be mad at is praxis” is Mariame Kaba’s quote and it is wisdom for these times. (1/2)
I drafted Articles of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth, free to any Member of Congress who wants to introduce them

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future
A more apt description of the Mar-a-Lago administration has never been written.
“Describe Hegseth’s war effort in Iran in three words or less”
Shut the fuck up the Sesame Street pinball number video is on
It is wild that big journalists like Stelter and Tapper etc. are so casually dismissive of the audience who supported their systems: the moderate to progressive folks not captured by the right wing machine. We were the ones defending them for years. They ignored or mocked us as the system collapsed.

I was wondering if they might be coming up earlier this year with the mild winter we have had?
So interesting. As an Xer, I often think of the 90s when I was becoming an adult and the USSR had fallen and tech rising & everything seemed possible. But we grew up with the Cold War in shadow of Vietnam. Millennials grew up in that era of progress & peace & possibility and watched it be destroyed.

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.
SNL's Colin Jost on Iran: "This attack might be a bad idea, I don't know. I'm not really an expert on Iran. So let's hear from someone who can explain why we might have done it."
I shouldn’t laugh but sometimes it’s how I cope. We are living in the most ridiculous, incompetent timeline.
We had a nuclear deal with Iran. It wasn't perfect but it was working and people weren't dying because of it.
Screenshot from Watermelon game with round slices of colorful cartoon fruit stacking up - coconut, oranges, kiwi, peaches, limes, cherries, and grapes.
Super simple and easy, repetitive distraction that doesn’t require much focus or concentration. Satisfying clicking haptics and visuals as the fruit merges for a little dopamine hit. You just start the game over when you lose. No biggie. Can play mindlessly forever.
When my Dad was dying of Parkinson’s a couple of years ago, my whole extended family began playing the Watermelon fruit merge game. It became a running joke as we sat vigil and every so often someone softly said “watermelon!” I remembered the Tetris research and realized it was helping us process.
Which voices? I can’t remember on the daily onslaught. Remind us, and let’s ask them what they think of this.
Counterpoint: Tomorrow it could be feathers or dollops of homemade marshmallow fluff. It could be the world's largest soap bubble or the poems of Emily Dickinson. Wild nights - Wild nights! It could be the concept of black holes or the dreams of a butterfly landing on a hot dog cart. It could be!
One thing to add: Democrats really shouldn’t fear to be anti-ICE. It’s specific, unlike “defund the police.”
If asked, say “Of course I support enforcing the law. ICE isn’t doing that. They’re breaking laws—really important laws, like the Bill of Rights—not enforcing them, which why I oppose ICE.”

Means just tossed out the mathematically obvious information that the proportion of healthcare money spent on chronic disease is increasing.
Surely she knows that this is because the money spent on infectious disease is declining, thanks in part to vaccines?
