Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.

Tweet from Daniel Pipes: "The uprising in Iran in early January suggested an even greater insurgency would then follow on the U.S.-Israeli campaign to erode regime power. Yet, the populace now appears cowed into near-silence.

This ranks as the most surprising and disappointing development of the past week. Without a new uprising, the regime will likely remain in power, less powerful but more awful than ever.

Amazing how quickly "We're fighting this war for freedom of the Iranian people" becomes "The Iranian people are at fault for not rising up."

the most important state election of early 2026 is right around the corner… though you’d never know it by the attention it’s receiving.

here’s hoping this bolts article helps jumpstart a little more chat!

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

Have a lofty goal to binge the whole thing again, jot down all the Burger’s of the Day, and replicate them all. It’ll take me forever but it’ll be a fun project πŸ˜‚

I’d say that Bob’s Burgers is my guilty pleasure but that would imply I feel guilt about loving it. It’s the gd best.

I never know what the thing is on any given day that’s going to break me, but today it was this. I’m in tears and just so so tired of always being angry.

Just realized he’s made himself the story once again - we couldn’t even have a solemn moment where we could all grieve together as a nation because he’s such an asshole. It’s exhausting.

What real respect looks like. A baseball cap is totally inappropriate here, but even in an environment where they're literally the uniform the caps are OFF!

It’s awesome that you’ve broken them out of hiding so you can enjoy them - display them proudly! Also, don’t think I didn’t zoom in on your great-grandma’s tresses. She had beautiful hair.

It wasn’t so funny a few rows ago. I must have heard β€˜four’ after a stitch number ending in β€˜2’ because I started counting by two’s and my pattern was completely off when I got to the end of the row. Exercise in futility, especially with lace πŸ™ˆ

Knitting and watching WBC. Counting stitches as I go, got to 90, the announcer said Naylor and my brain understood the assignment and adjusted accordingly:
naylor-one, naylor-two, naylor-three, naylor-four

Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.

U.S. was only country in a worldwide survey to say most fellow citizens are bad people A new Pew survey shows that other countries’ citizens tend to look more favorably on their neighbors.

I've been thinking about this Pew survey all week. It's incredibly depressing and makes me wonder what it would be like to live among people who didn't despise one another. washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/03/06/americans-immoral-unethical-survey/?itid=hp_more-top-stories_p002_f006

While Trump, Rubio, and Johnson are sitting at a round table sharing their invaluable knowledge about college sports and NIL, our treasury secretary is on tv telegraphing that we’re ramping up the war/not war efforts tonight.

It’s a very odd sensation to often find myself on the older side of the β€˜some of us have never’ conversations but yeah, etched in my memory as well.

I remember the exact sec I realized I had acrophobia - the 1:14 mark. I was 10, too small to be on this ride, had to be carried when it was over because I couldn’t stand up. Had a panic attack, tried to climb out of the car during the ride. Scared the snot out of my parents.
