Flabbergastting, cruel and revealing

The Counterterrorism Czar Without a Counterterrorism Plan Amid Trump’s war in Iran and an exodus of intelligence staffers, Sebastian Gorka has asserted that a blueprint for fighting terror threats is “imminent” — but has not released it. Iranian threats have...

Out of curiosity, why hasn’t there been news on the 25th Amendment? How much must the world suffer because one unhinged leader with access to a powerful military has let it rip?

The Forces of Scarcity Hitting Asia May Soon Spread Across the World

What sounded like a mix of hyperbole, paranoia and negativity, is proving to be just the tip of a really shitty iceberg. Does it mean to the prepper go the “spoils”? I have no idea except that it will get worse before it gets better.

Truly, where's Markwayne when you need him?

I managed to delete my repost. I don’t know if it’s a new function, but I tried a while back and couldn’t. I get that the OP posted in good faith, so my bad for not doing my usual doube checking.

NASA didn’t publish study on snake plants providing life-saving oxygen False. The agency did not reach those conclusions or offer such recommendations, a spokesperson confirmed.

Sadly, this story continues to circulate, but is apparently very misleading and inaccurate. Snake plants are amazing, but they are not some kind of panacea. Numerous reports have debunked this claim: apnews.com/article/fact...

Or rather, there is a pretty old study, but the results are not at all as simple as what this story purports. I regret reposting it!

AMAZING -- an editorial cartoon that states the question that has to be going through the minds of Republicans everywhere.

Tedious old bawbag

Have you read The Alienist—both have that compelling mix of historical accuracy and architectural detail together with the brooding darkness of the times. FWIW… I don’t mean to be presumptuous.

Good. I would have found other places to exercise my consumer influence. Again.

Only flat-earthers could by the BS about the image Trump posted...or believe the ridiculous spin.

Exactly 💯

You have been warned. Again and again. Just as Venezuela was a distraction, so, too, is Iran at this point. Putin's happy. China? Not so much. Thank you @therealjackhopkins.bsky.social for cutting through the smoke and mirrors.

If only he got schooled on his attire…

Who’d be left to run governments and corporations, foundations and universities?

N’est-ce f*cking pas?

Everyone moved on? I’m still waiting for accountability. I’m still waiting for a bipartisan effort to invoke the 25th A. Is it a good solution, what, with Vance and all? No, but something’s got to give.

It should have ended long before there.

If it wasn’t so horrible, I’d sarcastically offer that it’s like Tom Lehrer’s New Math.

BREAKING: THE PENTAGON'S EXPLANATION OF THE IRAN RESCUE ISN’T ADDING UP. AT ALL. Competing Narratives, Missing Explanations, and the Questions Washington Doesn’t Want You to Ask: Was the rescue a cover-up for one of the biggest secret military failures in US history?

With so many sources pushing back on the official account of the extraction that just took place in Iran, I'm sharing this from @deanblundell.bsky.social who once again offers a text that is utterly compelling to consider. open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

You can be opposed to the Iranian regime AND the reckless bombing of school kids.

You can support the troops AND be opposed to sending them into senseless wars.

You are not an antisemite if you decry the Israeli regime’s genocidal rampage.

Don’t let morons impose their idiotic view of the world.
