Split composition: on the left, a short haiku reads “A haiku master, cold in the first day of Spring, makes no greening words.” On the right, a stylized ukiyo-e scene shows a monk in an orange robe standing on a hillside beneath a pine branch, looking toward a distant mountain and calm water under a blue sky.
Green means go.

If we hadn’t invaded Iraq, which had nothing to do 9/11, we’d have saved $4–5 trillion*, enough to fund the entire Social Security program for two years. (And we wouldn’t have killed ~1 million innocent civilians.) *adjusted for inflation

Close-up of vivid blue pansy flowers with yellow centers and dark veining, growing in a garden bed against a softly blurred green background.
A close-up photograph of a tulip bud beginning to open, its smooth outer petals green with hints of pale pink, revealing vivid magenta petals inside. The flower stands on a slender stem against a softly blurred background of cool greens and purples, with gentle light highlighting the delicate texture and color transition of the bloom.
Extreme macro of a pansy flower dominated by saturated cobalt-blue petals. At the center, a bright yellow core fades outward, marked by sharp black lines that radiate like sunbursts. Fine textures and subtle color gradients are visible across the petal surface, with the background falling into soft, dark blur.

the fool tarot card in the style of horror, with dark pastel colors and splashes of color. the fool is wearing an elegant costume that has skull motifs on it. he's dancing joyfully as he steps off his table into mid-air, about to land flat on its feet on ground. in background there’s a box full of cards. text "o" at bottom corner "fool". the scene gives feeling of fun and wonder but also takes place within a nightmare or surreal world
The Pentagon estimates spending $800m–$1B daily ongoing in Iran. On average, that’s enough to build 5–7 new hospitals. Per day.

The U.S. ranks 48th globally in life expectancy. That’s last among major industrialized nations.
Federal, state, and local lobbying exceeded $15 billion in 2024. This would fund disability payments for as many as 900,000 veterans for a year.
