Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war.

100-130 ships pass the Strait daily.

Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

Time travelers were supposed to warn us about times like this. They’re slacking

Catching up on Daredevil: Born Again — Deborah Ann Woll is a gem

I trust Travis Knight. And it’s easier/cheaper to do two hours of humans in front of a green screen than two minutes of CGI robots on Cybertron!

To whoever did this at the #NoKings in Boston: Thank you.❤️

It made me tear up. And we must to be reminded of needless damage to humanity that results directly from the careless, bellicose bluster coming from the Pentagon and White House.

Easy to say when you’re

b) a civilian with no military service

March, 19-21: God is a comedian A stiff drink is recommended

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation.

I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment.

This summary is just fantastic.

Donald Trump Is Nothing Like Robert Mueller The absurdity of a man who avoided Vietnam due to “bone spurs” dancing on the grave of a decorated combat veteran

There is a particular absurdity to Donald Trump—a man who avoided Vietnam due to “bone spurs”—dancing on the grave of Robert Mueller, a decorated combat veteran, @JonLemire.bsky.social argues.

The price of a good dog is a broken heart at the end.

I’ve been crying every day. Thank you for hanging in there. Writing is the only way I can get through this.

The Endings We Deserve The Endings We Deserve There are deaths that break your heart, and there are deaths that indict the world. I have known both. My father died in the oldest loneliness there is: the loneliness of being ...

There are deaths that break your heart, and there are deaths that indict the world.

I have known both.

We are all sharing this planet together. Love, care and kindness should have no boundaries. I’m sorry for your losses and hope you are healing.

Loved him in life, and I’ll love him forever.

KINGSLEY There are lives that arrive like weather, and there are lives that arrive like light. Kingsley was my light.

In 16 months, I have lost my mentor, my uncle; my hero, my father; and now my heart—Kingsley.

Those who know me understood the symbiotic relationship between my dog and me. He’s been at my side for just shy of 20 years, and has been the most consistent, loving presence in my life.

Here’s his story

You don’t lay off 40% of your staff because of AI.

You do it because you mismanaged your headcount, or greed.

Or both.

We are encouraged to believe that distance equals improvement. That what is far away is finished. That what is commemorated is complete. And so the nation learns to point backward with confidence, to gesture toward anniversaries the way one gestures toward receipts —proof that payment has been made.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

It's such a shame that Marvel Studios simply have no conceivable access to a large group of talented artists who have honed their skill in drawing superheroes month after month after month after month in a creative culture nurtured since the 1940s.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Alex Pretti died a hero.

He should have lived continuing being one.
