Where there argument is
My entire journalistic career, editors & owners & bosses told me again & again that my stuff was too long, too in-depth, too wonky, no one would read it.
Again & again, readers flocked to the longer, wonkier pieces, passed them around, wrote me to thank me for them, cited them years later.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and weβre doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Russia also put a bounty on US troops in Afghanistan during Trumpleforeskin's first term.
Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...
Mayor Mamdani and a child play with Legos while looking very serious and concentrated. The child is impossibly adorable and wearing tiny blue glasses.
No interruptions, please. Weβre building universal child care.
Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
βWe never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,β Stiller wrote.
These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Ukraine's General Staff confirms damage to two Russian Black Sea Fleet ships in Novorossiysk

Seems troubling.
More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.
President Zelenskyy is in Druzhkivka, Donetsk region, which is about 20 km from the russian invasion battlefront. He's also visiting Slov'yans'k and Kramators'k.
Putin the "bunker dwarf" never visits the front line.
Trump, JD Vance and Steve Witkoff have never been to Ukraine.
In March 2026, Florida International University (FIU) launched a criminal investigation after leaked WhatsApp group chats involving conservative student leaders and a local Republican official were exposed.

i should see what's happening on bluesky
Russia is providing intelligence support to Iran to target US forces in the Middle East. I thought Vlad was your friend Donald?
AND the orange nutjob is talking about going after Cuba next, to topple their government. Heβs already making them suffer via deprivation, so itβs not surprising.
They'll be editing her out of official photographs in no time.
This is not the best part of the firing, but itβs in the Top 10.
From the data in the article, vodka prices have risen ~35-40% since February of 2022.
Meaning they are still behind 4 years of real inflation at an average guess of 17-18% per year. ( ~90% over 4 years)
Compared against the % rise in the cost of staple foods such as potatoes, vodka is still cheap.

Prominent surgeon accused of performing unnecessary endometriosis surgeries
In addition to being unethical & frankly, criminal, this story illustrates the dangers of privatized medical care. These patients had unnecessary surgeries because it was profitable for the surgeon.
Tom Homan is the kind of guy who would masturbate to the Abu Ghraib tapes.

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

1/2 Cuba: Along with it being the morally correct thing to do, for Canada this is very much in our geopolitical interest to help Cuba. We're trying to build a coalition of smaller powers to stabilize the world and protect ourselves.
