Nancy Youssef, ..guil @ X.com @nancyayoussef The preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 billion a day, a congressional official told me. 12:20 PM • 3/4/26 • 44K Views
Preliminary Pentagon cost estimate of the war in Iran is $1 BILLION a day. So far.
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
Aren't these just buzzwords that dumb people use to sound important?
The Trump administration took your money illegally.
They won’t give it back.
What a weak, frightened little boy.
More than 27% of conservationists report moderate to severe distress, with many calling it a mental health “crisis.”
Experts cite the toll of witnessing ecological loss and an industry marked by low pay, insecurity and unrealistic workloads.
If Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu *really* wanted to destroy Iran, they would volunteer to take turns being its ruler.
It's never too early to talk to your kids about cable management.
Good to know. We so rarely encounter Blink DCFC here in AZ/Phoenix. (Most Blink locations around here are dilapidated level 2 chargers.) We end up using Electrify America, ChargePoint, and EVGo for DCFC almost exclusively.
A tumblr post from user nitewrighter: Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.
Boss, it's the fascism.
10 hour study with me at Columbia showing lunch
Her in the library
DHS illegally arrested me please help Text against image of her knees
Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"
Not beating the "brain-dead rube" allegations...
If I was more conspiracy-minded, I'd easily believe that Dems like Klobuchar are really Republican operatives trained to demoralize and weaken the opposition.
My bingo card contribution:
She’s a total joke.
Same as it ever was.
Although 2026 has got nothing on 1649.
UK: Prince Andrew arrested.
South Korea: Former President Yoon sentenced for life.
Brazil: Former President Bolsonaro serving a 27-year sentence.
USA: President Trump demands $10 billion payout from taxpayers.
Love Ibrahim Maalouf and 'True Sorry'! Happy to see it shared! The mood reminds me a bit of Christian Scott's 'Angola, LA & The 13th Amendment'...

it is not enough to disable the feature that produces an AI summary of my emails at the top of my emails in gmail, I need a button that delivers an electrical shock to the person who thought it was a good idea
Hey, I'm watching the Colbert interview with James Talarico, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, which CBS declined to air on broadcast TV, likely due to Trump administration threats... wanna watch it too?

A heads-up from @billmckibben.bsky.social: "One way of summing up this moment is to say that the endangerment finding & the politics of climate are puny in the face of physics. We’re going to see that physics in action in the next 24 months, and it will drive many changes... some of them political"
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
If you want a good laugh today , watch @azsecretary.bsky.social Fontes read Noem with political finesse 💅

Bah! It’s a perfectly cromulent word…
At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.
Inside the worker-led push to get ICE out of Google:
ICE wants to cover their faces and prevent people from recording what they are doing. In no way should we allow the right to normalize the behaviors of a fascist police state,
What an embarrassingly pathetic bunch of losers.
10/10. No notes.
