don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

don't forget to turn your clocks back tonight (face towards the wall so they won't see you have Annual Relations with your godly wife)

As an unwilling connoisseur of agitprop, Iran really hit it out of the park with "we're fighting the Epstein Class that either rapes children or kills them"

They should invent a way out that isn't through

Wait for them to calm down -> They're not calming down

US strategic analysis of Iran:

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.

hey i wrote about this yesterday and compared our tech oligarchs to the planter class of the South pre-civil war

A big step in adulthood is realizing that buying fresh ginger and garlic along with having some sesame oil and Shaoxing cooking wine on hand allows you to make all the same sad stir fries you made in your 20’s but suddenly they’re good and you’re good at cooking

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

this part I also didn't get but then I saw an NBC anchor goggling open mouthed like a 12 year who just saw boobs for the first time because the Iranian foreign minister was like"yes we will fight if you invade" and they really don't think of other people as having any sort of agency, it's wild

it's so cool how these people are going to set back actually useful computer science innovation in healthcare by a decade

The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.

meme of ron paul gesticulating with a nuclear explosion superimposed on him and the text "WIDESPREAD DEATH AND SUFFERING" across it

temperature check: i asked a friend of mine in the oil industry what she (GASP A GIRL? IN OIL??) thinks the market is gonna look like by the end of the month and she just sent me this in response with no other text. [I have no idea if she is serious]

It’s not a war you fucking idiots. It’s an exchange of violence between two polities to impose a political outcome through conflict.

zero percent chance that Susan Collins doesn't immediately drop all of this the second the general election starts if this guy wins the primary - the DoD is 100% sitting on the file on this guy and will send it to her the second he wins the nomination

what’s extra terrifying right now is the knowledge that there’s just no backstop at all

we are locked in a box with a madman for another three years and there’s absolutely nothing that he can do to make his own party take the keys away and so the madness continues

it doesn’t feel sustainable, but…

For the longest time I thought that, if anything, the army spent too much training time on values, because who doesn't inherently understand things like honor, respect, integrity etc. Guys like this are a minority of vets but its clear that some people never understood our professed values at all

Nobody should take messaging advice from me, but democrats might make a lot of mileage just by repeating facts about Iran like “it’s incredibly mountainous” and “there are 90 million Iranians”

i don't get it. you can lift at the gym. being a softhanded scribe is like the pinnacle of civilized life, tens of thousands of generations of your ancestors would have murdered to be a softhanded scribe

nobody wants to admit it, but lawful neutral is the safest alignment for us to live under

the cishets need to be governed by the cold and unfeeling iron hand of HR and corporate mandated sensitivity training

a graph of seattle link light rail ridership, shown as a rolling 12M average

US transit data is out today, and Seattle's Link remains one of the fastest-growing rail systems in the nation, with ridership up 9% in the wake of the extension to Federal Way

Ridership should increase even further at the end of this month when the 1 & 2 lines are connected🧵

i feel like this is all happening cause we stopped pumping up the jam

I won't vote for Gavin Newsom but you do have to admit nobody else has straight up killed a Republican congressman

The White House just tweeted "Touchdown" and showed a bunch of clips of guys getting hit trying to catch the ball. Literally the opposite of a touchdown. The only people who write that sports are right-wing coded are people who don't understand the right wing and don't watch sports

He's dissolving Ohio State University

pivot to the pacific enjoyer circle firing squad at my house 1:00 PM tomorrow

the energy, the power exhibited, on this move is aspirational

A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi.
