Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 04/10/2026In the Axios piece with an anonymous WH official saying they're monitoring the Russia plague situation, the official didn't say they're monitoring "reports" or anything similarly non-committal. The official says they're monitoring "the outbreak." www.axios.com/2026/10/04/r... 000

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 29/09/2026That feeling when you see your future falling into the abyss, and wondering if your dad's golf buddy will still give you that job at the ATV dealership. 010
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 29/09/2026This statement is either ignorant or a lie. Multiple sources including the census show 1/2 of young kids are cared for by a non-relative. And common sense says there are many parents who would love to put their kids in better care arrangements if they could afford it. 200
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 15/09/2026At first you look at this chart showing the price of a tanker getting oil from the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Mexico, and assume there's some Y-axis stuff going on. But nope. That puppy starts at zero. 100
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 13/09/2026I think you're one of only two people to actually ask a real, good question about my comment, and I'm super appreciative you did. I understand you may not agree with my answer to it, but I do appreciate you asking a real question. bsky.app/profile/aaro... 120

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 08/09/2026Houthis making some claims about bombing Southern SA, and there really is some stuff on FIRMS that isn't normally there. 100
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 07/09/2026Eliminate this entire organization. I'd legitimately be willing to pay them all pensions forever if we can ban them from ever working anywhere in any capacity ever again. They're contaminated. www.yahoo.com/news/article... 021
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 07/09/2026Nothing from Trump on the attack on a governor candidate, but he did *just* post this. 100
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 06/09/2026MAGA in a nutshell. Amplify a tragedy to represent Everything Wrong With The World, until you're afraid of -- literally feeling raw fear to the point of having to take flight from -- loving families at a nice farmers market. Dogs inventing cars to chase, then getting wrecked by their illusion. 000
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 31/08/2026Gotta be honest this one made me cry. bsky.app/profile/whst... 030
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 30/08/2026This admin is hiding some of it's shadiest stuff in the military -- including Egypt/Iran-style private company ownership -- and it's not good for the US if the most-trusted part of the government (and the one with all the weapons) becomes structurally compromised. www.wsj.com/business/ene... 011
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 28/08/2026Basically this. It'll sound melodramatic if you weren't there but it felt like the start of one in MN. It's pretty clear they made a tactical withdrawal, not a surrender. Which, also, what you'd be obligated to do if you accepted that is, well, hard. bsky.app/profile/hurr... 010
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 24/08/2026This is so... I don't even have words for it, that I had to verify this is real. It is. 010

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 20/08/2026Scientific American did a good one with the images in this. The articles great of course, but it doesn't get to your "easier" goal. The photos do. www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-... 010
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 20/08/2026Imagine being President of the United States of America, logging onto the Internet, and announcing to the world that so many people are ignoring your sanctions that they're not working. Then going into detail about the endless ways people are ignoring you. Then saying No Guys I Mean It This Time. 010
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 13/08/2026This is an incredibly detailed article worth your time. It's also the first time I've seen these two events connected. 130
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 11/08/2026I, too, am baffled as to why normal people don't think AI is improving their day to day lives. It must be a marketing problem. 000
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 10/08/2026This is the full post he QTs. It's so "you were so close" that I still can't tell if he got got by satire, or if this really is the dumbest thing on the Internet. 000

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 09/08/2026Well that's certainly one way to say, "when our Fleet's home port, base, and headquarters was destroyed by the enemy." 100

Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 06/08/2026People are calling him the most-12 of all the entire Government Of 12-Year Olds. 010
Aaron Grote @aarongrote.com · 31/07/2026I'll keep saying this because I think it matters: Sudan was a model for what could happen to Iran. Be *done to* Iran, because it wasn't an accident. It seems like some of the Big Players in the ME looked at Sykes–Picot and thought the main issue with it was just that they didn't get to do it. 000
