This entire clip down to the "Trump Orders McDonalds" crawl at the bottom feels like a fever dream, you couldn't recreate the cultural and societal trajectory that created this moment if you tried for a thousand years

The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter BREAKING: Iran cannot fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz because it "cannot find" some of the mines it placed in the waterway and lacks the capability to remove them, per multiple US officials cited by NYT. The mines were laid quickly by small IRGC boats, and some have since drifted from their original positions. NYT also reports that Araghchi's earlier "technical limitations" comment on reopening was specifically about the mine removal problem.

This is not going to be fixed anytime soon, folks.

It was amazing watching Artemis II successfully return to earth. I realize we've had countless other successful landings but I was a school aged child during the Challenger disaster, so hyped up space missions have made me nervous ever since. It was glorious to see them land safely.

1/2. Notice that after losing the war Trump threatens his allies rather than Russia — even though Russia quite literally helped Iran defeat the US and he knows it.

How is this not the Onion headline

The Effects of California's $20 Fast Food Minimum Wage on Prices Jeffrey Clemens, Olivia Edwards, Jonathan Meer & Joshua D. Nguyen WORKING PAPER 34990 DOI 10.3386/w34990 ISSUE DATE March 2026 We analyze the effect of California's $20 fast food minimum wage (Assembly Bill 1228), enacted in September 2023 and implemented in April 2024, on consumer prices using the Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Indices for food away from home across 21 metropolitan statistical areas. Food away from home prices in California's four in-sample MSAs increased by 3.3 to 3.6 percent relative to 17 control MSAs through December 2024. Our estimates are stable across a number of specifications. Placebo tests on price indices for goods and services that were not affected by the policy, including food at home, show no differential increases in California's MSAs. The price increases we estimate likely arise in part from spillovers to the full-service sector, as well as changes in the production functions and product quality choices of limited service restaurants.

CA’s $20 fast food minimum wage raised fast food prices by only 3%. The reason minimum wage increases keep not reducing employment and barely increasing prices is monopsony power.

Given that most major media and nearly every social media company is owed by people pushing fascist agendas and AI is rampant, we all have to be extra careful to practice media literacy. Slow down. Don’t share what you haven’t read. Be wary of confirmation bias. Check the source. Verify.

Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

Immigrants can teach us how to fight dictators:

"Myrla Baldonado became one of the “forced disappearances” under Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr., in 1983. She was kidnapped by state agents, swept away to a secret location, tortured, and then imprisoned for two years."

And yet:

1. The president is burning up the American middle class with the largest tax increase since the early 1990s, which itself is snowballing the price of everything from coffee to clothes to carpets to car parts.

Yet this isn’t a major, ongoing, attention-grabbing story.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine scene. And in case you never gave it a fair shake, DS9 is absolutely the real deal good shit. Ok, so here we see a fella named Damar. He's a Cardassian with a "C" not the other ones. He's got a boney ridgey facial structure because he's not human, with spiney features on his face and forehead and around his eyes. And a mega thicc neck too. He's wearing a military shell type armour outfit that also looks hard and tough. He's addressing the camera, as if he's making some kind of announcement. It's 3 screenshots but the visual is all the same. Damar looking serious as a heart attack. Closed caption reads, "RESIST. RESIST TODAY. RESIST TOMORROW." (Also, in case you were wondering, FUCK ICE)

For no reason whatsoever I'm sure today we have the movie cover art for the film Star Trek: Insurrection. There's a large planet across the lower half of the picture as if we're in orbit above and we see the USS Enterprise flying away from us at warp towards open space. There's a large menacing face looking down at the starship and planet, cloaked in red beams of light. Across the top reads, "INSURRECTION."
