This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

Best plausible option right now is Trump seizes on something, anything, as an excuse to save face while kicking the can down the road again and we're back to this point in a week or two.

It can certainly be read as a love letter to Putin — Maria Popova has a point as usual — but whatever happens the expression of a genocidal wish by the president of the United States is a horror we will never live down.

Over the yrs @maxboot.bsky.social and I have agreed/ disagreed. More and more agree. (I liked his book on Reagan.)

On this one, we're right in line. I did similar story in 2004. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Attacking Iran has always been reckless insanity. Now run by reckless insane person

AI-generated image of a vain Donald Trump typing with his baser instincts at the fore...

Can we stop already sharing "Alert! Trump says..."

The man has the attention span of a gnat, the instincts of a reptile, and the preening insecurity of a peacock.

I think a desperate all-hands-on-deck moonshot effort to build EVs affordably is the only thing that could save any western automaker from being completely cooked

The president stood on the steps of the palace after the ball, watching the staffer depart. Technically, it was the White House, not a palace yet, and it was very difficult to host balls there, a deep, intractable problem for average Americans that he feared would overshadow his legacy if he failed to solve it.

I can't think of much that could enrage Trump more than this. Bragging about his ballroom seems to be the only thing that brings him joy lately, and he's very not used to anyone telling him no.

i’m not an anti-ai hardliner but it’s pretty hard to argue with this take

A Winner in Early Trump Tariffs, Vietnam Thrives in Trade War 2.0 A year on from “Liberation Day,” Trump’s tariffs have altered global supply chains — just not in the way he envisioned.

These Americans are quitting before AI can take their jobs—and starting their own businesses: 'I just wanted to be in control' Americans are incorporating new businesses in record numbers, as AI sweeps across many U.S. workplaces. That's not a coincidence, some new entrepreneurs say.

this is burnout. a lot of people I know need a lot of sleep and doing very little. and it takes more than a week, unfortunately.

Still kind of amazing to me that the brazenness of Trump's pardon selling is buried under all of his other corruption and incompetence.

This is why “to the shores of Tripoli” is in the Marine Corps Hymn. I doubt this kind of Naval history is being taught to recruits anymore, though.

If he TACOs without opening the Strait it's not going to go well for him or us. It's still probably the best option.

The most consequential American in the world, who leads 1.4 billion souls, sent a clear message to hypocrites who use God to justify warmongering:

"Even though you make many prayers, God will not listen: your hands are
full of blood."

Got the message, Don, Pete, and Marco?

Bravo, Pope Leo! 👏🏻🔥

The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face:

Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences.

For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.

OK this is probably why I’m not a political consultant but have “top Dems” ever considered just supporting the candidate they think would make the best president?

That tracks.. Trump doctrine: leave the U.S. much poorer and much less safe.

The strategic, bankruptcy genius, folks.

Grifters and con men all.

I suspect the Trump admin's idea here is that this will force someone else (doubtful they even have a clear idea who) to clean up their mess. It will work as well as their idea that the IRGC would have to surrender after the initial bombing. Other people are not mere supporting cast in your TV show.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂He posts this hours after TMZ posted photos of him walking around Disney World with a Bubble Wand! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yet never has so much been seen, so precisely, by so many people who understand so little of what they are seeing. A system can tell you where a man is. It cannot tell you what his death will mean for a nation. Such systems are trained on behavior, not on meaning — they can track what an adversary does but not what he fears, honors, remembers or would die for.

I genuinely think the president and many of his advisers, scammers, hustlers, and keyboard gangsters, don’t understand this concept at all and you can see it in the pattern of their mistakes from Minneapolis to Tehran www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/o...

Hahaha I'm wholly convinced they voted this guy in specifically to troll this administration.

This is wonderful from @edwardluce.bsky.social truly moving interview with Bryan Stevenson. And what a pay off in the final lines.
