From Moscow to Siberia, the lines in front of gas stations in Russia are growing. The gas station masquerading as a country is increasingly out of gas.

The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.
And our governments are very much the same.

One of the most hopeful things I’ve read in a long time. Despite a targeted far right narrative online etc, positive attitudes towards the impact of immigration has increased among the general public. Attempts from outside Ireland to shape attitudes are not working. www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

One of the very best from Clickhole
From Clickhole's "Incredible! We Asked These Astronauts What It’s Like To Be In Space," Barry Wilmore: You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he’s Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he’s just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he’s the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective.

Only because the original press conference was scheduled to announce that the main objective of the War had been achieved and that, yes, Jesus, had in fact returned. Turns out, that like NATO, Jesus wanted nothing to do with this shit show.

I’ve long covered MAGA politics but I was shocked by what I heard at CPAC. It has radicalised yet further. It’s a movement convinced it must not only save the US but Western civilisation. Because in their mind, the UK and Europe has already “fallen” to Islam. Watch 👇 youtu.be/t3Y_ozT_p3g?...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Take a picture
A drawing of a trucker with a mullet and a mustache, in front of a truckstop, saying "how boutchu take a picture? it'll last longer."
and he is wearing a hat that says "I dug a tunnel straight down in to the center of the earth, and therein, found hell itself, set out to kill The Devil, but when I got there, sitting on that abyssal throne was my own shadow self, and had to confront that true evil is something that lives inside us all, not an external force upon us, and if i killed him in anger, I'd just be acting out that perverse will, and all I got was this lousy hat."

Germany did destroy itself almost a century ago. It wasn’t because it took in too many migrants. It was because it fell for arguments uncomfortably close to Vance’s.
