So, who's gonna hit a red switch in a hospital bathroom when you just need to turn the lights on. Turns out, anything red there is powered by the emergency generator. Definitely not what I thought it was for.

Still probably Apple’s best looking computer in many years. (16 inch M4 in Midnight black with the nano-texture display.) The display impresses me still even two years later. Oh and Siouxsie Sioux is still gorgeous. #techSupportLife

81 aircraft? WTAF? (and I don't mean What The Air Force)
81 Aircraft, $45 Billion

A new Congressional Research Service report (CRS) lists 81 U.S. aircraft, including drones, reportedly lost or damaged since the Iran War began in February. The CBO puts equipment losses at $1.9 billion-$3.3 billion, and CNN says the war’s total cost is $45 billion or more, not counting damage.

Iranian FM Araghchi claimed on social media that the “real toll is far higher,” pointing to CENTCOM refusing to let a sitting senator inspect bases. The senator he is referring to appears to be Chris Murphy.

Screenshot of a suburban house's front lawn with several signs including two political signs for Sharrod Brown and Amy Acton. 

The signs in the middle say "Republican for COMMON SENSE" and 
IN JUST TWO YEARS of MAGA:
• Unnecessary War with Iran
• 775 Dead or Wounded
• Higher Gas Prices
• Higher Food Prices
• Less Affordability
• Voting Rights Rolled Back
• Am Citizens Killed by ICE
• Attacks on the Free Press
• Cuts to Medicaid
• Attacks on Universities

These People are IDIOTS!
THIS HAS TO STOP NOW!"

Just saw something like this on the side of a barn in NE Ohio. Is anyone else really troubled by this? I get that it might be them mourning the inevitable dead that comes with military conflict but I’m pretty sure that is not the main point they are making.

There he goes, threatening us with a good time again.
Donald J. Trump + @realDonaldTrump
If Senate Republicans don't TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, the Dumocrats will, and I will be, despite how well our Party is doing, the last Republican President! The Dumocrats will vote in Puerto Rico (4% Republican Vote), and Washington, D.C. (3% Republican Vote), pick up 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen/women, tremendous numbers of Popular and Electoral College Votes and, importantly, control the Voting Mechanisms and Systems, both Legal and otherwise, throughout the United States. It will be impossible for Republicans to ever win an Election again. In other words, it will be THE END OF AMERICA! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J.
TRUMP

"For the first time since the Iran war began, JPMorgan says it no longer has a baseline view on oil, writing 'we simply don't know how to model the endgame,'" So JPMorgan is basically saying, they have no 'elfin idea how this is going to all end. Good to know. #wereBoned
The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter

BREAKING: For the first time since the Iran war began, JPMorgan says it no longer has a baseline view on oil, writing "we simply don't know how to model the endgame," and that the assumption that the Middle East disruptions are temporary is
"becoming increasingly difficult to sustain," per
JPMorgan Global Research.
The bank says it had assumed there were economic red lines the Trump administration would be unwilling to cross, and that six months later "many of those lines have been crossed, yet the exit strategy is less clear, not more."
Chevron's CEO said this week the Great fuel crisis has officially arrived, as Trump officials continue to claim the disruption temporary.
