"The 2.25m barrels of diesel Putin offered Trump will have zero net impact on the world price of diesel. But accepting them will collapse the US-led sanctions regime on Russia—and align Trump with Putin against Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy production..." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Trump Is an Easy Mark for Putin

The president’s diesel deal sells out Ukraine, and does nothing for Americans.

People are falling for the Trump con again. This is a trap for Ukraine. Russia has already destroyed most of Ukr power generation, so they can hold off for a day or two. Ukr needs to attack Russian refineries now. If they do, trump can blame them and help Russia more.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

I am generally quite opposed to posting AI slop unless it is: 1) Obvious satire and therefore not suggestive of any effort to falsify or mislead. And... 2) really fucking funny.

It’s notable that while a whole chorus of Trump backers are saying he is winning the war with Iran, he is admitting time and again that he just wants out.

The Republicans own this mess. I gave up on them in July 2025, when they—like sheep—voted for Russ Vought’s recission package that included all of the “DOGE” cuts, including the ones that killed 700,000 many of them children. You couldn’t get rid of USAID by passing a bill, so you blessed DOGE.

It's jaw-dropping how often Republicans rationalize the toddler president's tantrums with "well, our special little boy felt like people were being mean to him, so it's certainly understandable that he set the room on fire"

If someone posted this about a Jewish Senator, it would be rightly condemned as anti-semitism. El-Sayed was born and raised in Michigan, but because he is Muslim he is perpetually foreign and under suspicion.
