Is this bad?
“City officials expect to reach a ‘water emergency’ within months and run out of water next year.“
“The region’s largest industrial users, which collectively consume the majority of the region’s water, remain exempt from emergency curtailment.”

yeah, not at all understandable that the citizens of Tehran are staying in, what with the regime that just killed thousands of protesters a month or two ago, the missile strikes, and the toxic hydrocarbon rain and flaming oil-soaked street gutters that resulted from the bombed oil depot
It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.
College Football gifts you an hour of sleep in the heart of the season.
College Basketball steals one from you.

Thread, with some important comments as well
“The Americans could find themselves retreating to the strategic incoherence that has characterized the administration’s approach…military prowess cannot clarify America’s war aims. As the old saying warns: If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social
Judges across the country have been ordering do-overs that mean constitutional standards. But more recently, they've been ordering outright release, doubting the integrity of the bond process. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

The US economy lost 92,000 jobs last month, far worse than expected.

This tornado is occluding right around the Vance AFB radar (KVNX)
Base velocity scan from KVNX valid at 0345 UTC March 6, 2026
Just about as close as you'll get to resolving a tornado with an 88D. Just south of Vance AFB in northern OK this evening.
14 cases, that are known. DHS refuses to respond to inquiries.
“In response to the outbreak, the facility has been closed to visitors and legal advisers and isn’t expected to reopen until March 19”
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
It's this dude. Everything is about to become stupider.
DHS invoked the “national emergency” at the border to skirt competitive bidding rules for a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign, which has secretly benefited a firm with ties to Kristi Noem.

An utterly irredeemable party.
This is the Republican Party now.
I had a mouse do this several years ago. Melted the socket and the neoprene mousepad it was on.
In the last 4 days one of my senators broke a Marine’s arm, the other one announced he wasn’t running minutes before the filing deadline so his hand-picked successor could take his place without a primary and my rep announced he was giving up his seat as well.
How’s y’all’s congresspeople doing?
Coming to full terms with how shitty a country we are is tough.
The word I'm searching for I can't say because there's Federal agents present.
There's a reason I made this meme because if I said what I am thinking about how that Marine was treated...
Shame on GAMA for once again not including designers in their "Excellence in Game Design" award announcement.

“At the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. “It felt like a betrayal of the utmost.” Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was “no longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. “It drove me to a point of saying, ‘She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.
this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.
