Reminder:

Ah, so this is all the Iranian people’s fault.

A Night Off With Chickens I’ve had lots of travel and lots of travel delays in the last week, so I’m going to take a night off now that I’m safely back home, and get a little extra sleep.

If you need some pictures of chickens tonight, I’m here for you.

Fucking insane.

"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.

Filled up the tank with gas today—which happens about every 4-6 months—and paid $3.01/gallon (after 15 cent discount). I'm in a low-tax, shitty-roads state.

Oil be the judge of that...

the pattern we saw today was also how it went during Covid and the Liberation Day crashes. The market crashes, Trump says exactly what the market wants to hear and the market rallies back, it's then revealed that what Trump was saying is bullshit, but the market stays up instead of crashing

If you ever wonder why so many of us warn about the Bernie adjacent folks, look no further. 👇 No matter what horror Trump and republicans are reeking in the country they will still continuously do this sh*t. 😒

Memory lane.

I just stumbled across pic from the late Jack DeJohnette's Facebook page.

Trump's pressure campaign against Anthropic shows we are entering a future where the government could harness the power of AI against its own people. Read my thoughts on Substack ➡️ bit.ly/4lbLS52

1/ Messages hacked from a Russian general's phone illustrate the sweeping scale of corruption at all levels of the Russian army. They highlight a top-to-bottom pyramid of extortion and bribery to obtain promotions and influence, plus scams and theft of military resources. ⬇️

We are launching a billboard ad campaign across NC later in March with two simple messages!:

-Support our NATO allies
-Spend money on veteran’s healthcare at home instead of on the war in Iran

Hubris & Myopia Going to War Without Checks and Balances is So Very Dangerous

Hybris und Kurzsichtigkeit
Ohne Kontrollmechanismen in den Krieg zu ziehen, ist äußerst gefährlich. — Historiker James Holland mit einer Warnung

Hitler, on the other hand, was surrounded by yes-men and sycophants who nurtured his belief in his own military genius. Trump is making the same mistake.

"Keep the family healthy."
Those were among the last words Clifford Thomas' mother said to him before passing away during the pandemic. But he would soon find that honoring that promise in this Georgia town is a daunting battle against a broken system. 🧵 1/7

The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

All the dudes out there with two $1600/month loans on their lifted pickup trucks when gas hits $6/gal

The blurb for a NYT story, showing pictures of Jeff Yass, Robert Bigelow, Reid Hoffmann, Reed Hastings, Jim WAlton, and JB Pritzker, reading: Billionaires Are Swaying Elections in All Corners of America Billionaires made 19 percent of all reported federal campaign contributions in 2024, a Times analysis shows, and even more in some local elections. Wealthy donors are reaping the rewards.

You wouldn't know it from the graphic, but JB Pritzker's picture is on the story not bc HE, a billionaire, is spending his money for personal advantage, but bc Ken Griffin unsuccessfully spent a lot of money to defeat Pritzker.
