Hegseth is gonna be even more angry than born normal when he can’t drive from point a to point b because of this.

True, there are other compelling reasons some countries have leaned heavily into renewables. China, like you say. Also Spain and a few other European countries. Probably other ones around the world too.

I just wish that movement had more momentum to it. A massive factor in why it hasn’t taken hold more is because of lobbyists, corporate power, fear of change, and general inertia. Hopefully this situation with Iran is a fucking huge wakeup call to many with influence on this topic. Though I’m not going to hold my breath on that.

Hopefully a push further into renewable energy will be a silver lining to come from all this.

Local food bank, local SPCA chapter, Habitat for Humanity, and sometimes to Public Radio. But I should donate more often.

It’s half of Americans fearing this. So I’m pretty sure the large majority of them didn’t vote for Trump and blame him for all this. So not complete consensus, but not too far off it.

The other half of Americans are the ones who voted for Trump, so they believe whatever their guy tells them. Which is that everything is great, is heading in the right direction, and it’s never been better.

See if you can find a used Brother laser printer. The older Brother printers are fantastic. I thought I heard somewhere Brother had started to enshitify their newer products (last coulple of years). But I might be wrong there.

How long before he explicitly demands to speak to the manager of NATO. I guess in some ways he already has.

It distracts the world while they ramp up their take over large areas of the West Bank.

The fact that Infantino believes Trump shows yet again just how stupid he (Infantino) is. I never thought FIFA could do worse than Sepp Blatter. Man was I wrong!

They’d swear it was chocolate and lap it up.

For me? Nothing.

Problem is my kids share my computer, and Linux doesn’t easily support some of the stuff they like playing. And I don’t want to have to spend a bunch of time finagling to get that software running via Wine or whatever.

Cool for the UK. They can focus on other things now.

Stable Release men assemble!

In that context, it would have been kind of funny if they’d called the band The New Lou Who, and done a few covers of songs by The Who.

Weren’t a bunch of analysis predicting this? The trump administration had apparently requested that Israel strike first to provide a flimsy excuse for firing their own missiles at Iran when the Ayatollah and his gang inevitably retaliates against Israel.

Congrats Cuba on joining the huge and ever-growing list of ‘countries Trump is threatening to invade’. Please have a seat between Canada and (checks notes)… Greenland?!

(The whole Greenland things is still and will forever be so ridiculous that it beggars belief.)
