“The War Department will not be distracted by democracy building interventionism, undefined wars, regime change,” U.S. Defense Secretary, December 2025
The Nobel Prize 2026 is just sitting there for the taking I suppose.
Why does anyone believe anything these people have been selling since… ever?
Setting aside AOC for a moment, this article says what I’ve said for a long time. Dems essentially defend a status quo that has failed most of the U.S. since… the 80s? And in turn that leads to the voter just swapping in different parties until something meaningfully improves or they lose democracy.
Lawsuits are being prepared by corporations to get back tariffs they paid, from the US government. How do the American people get the money we paid to the corps back, when they passed along a percentage of the tariffs to all of us? And the corps are going to lower prices now… right? …Right? 🇺🇸
Happy Birthday, National Weather Service. Here’s hoping you still exist in the future. Here’s the story of how a letter to Congress started the wheels rolling on the NWS.
This video is getting so much attention and it’s hard to explain why a video supposedly about renewable energy is so important to watch, even if you are well-versed… and yet I think you should invest 90 minutes into it. (Perfectly watchable at 1.5x) and share widely.
“Sources” are saying Bill Belichick will not be a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Bill is a unique curmudgeon. But if the best of all time doesn’t get in on the first ballot, should anyone? This vote is not a popularity contest. If true, this is an embarrassment for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Once you read it, you can’t unsee it: what we are seeing in Minnesota is what happens when the Jan 6 criminals are put in charge. These are literally the same people who stormed the Capitol, now with a blank check, weapons, and impunity.
I do really love using my Apple Pencil for handwriting on iPad. But one weird thing has always followed me since my first Apple Pencil: a part of the iPad always getting surprisingly hot while I’m writing. Is it just me?
Reminder: > “By analyzing $4 trillion of shipments […] researchers found that foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases […] while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.”
“Americans Are the Ones Paying for Tariffs, Study Finds”- WSJ.
Let me say this in no uncertain terms, as an American: hands off Greenland! We do not steal from, nor threaten our long term close allies and NATO partners. NATO is the most effective alliance in the history of the world. Let’s not f’ it up. 🇺🇸💙🇩🇰🇬🇱🤝🏻
The New York Times have sent a reporter and photographer/videographer along with a scientific expedition to Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, and their reporting so far is fascinating. I’m not sure how much is available to non-subscribers, but check it out.
I was today years old when I realized why the Eagles current logo faces left. The right side feathers form an “E”.
(Bonus avian logo trivia: if you never noticed, the Falcons’ logo is in the shape of an “F”.)
Just learned that Bob Weir passed away yesterday at 78. Tremendously Grateful for all the amazing music he brought into the world. Fare thee well, Bobby 🌹
After a heartstopping finish in Newcastle tonight, my UConn Huskies tried to do their best to up my heart rate at Providence… coming from 13 down late to force OT and pull out the win. 🏀
What a finish at St. James’ Park this evening, I wish I could have watched. Thankful for the BBC Newcastle audio feed that’s provided on nufc.co.uk! #HTL #NUFC ⚽️
I think I’ve hit the point where I’m marking all political text messages as spam, even from people I agree with because it’s all too much. I didn’t sign up for any of this.
Meanwhile, I’m pretty excited for my Bears to be back in the playoffs. I thought we might have another season, but Ben Johnson is awesome. My coach of the year for sure. 🏈
I’m not a Chiefs fan, but if I were Travis Kelce, I’d hang it up. Nothing more to prove. Have a lot ahead of you, why risk your health? Take the money and run. 🏈
Just finished The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became the World’s Most Endangered Resource by Chris Hayes. Very much recommended for the age we live in.
