So I get in from my walk. I started out by walking up to the Cemetery on 8th Street, and picking up trash. I was listening to an amazing story from Jesse and Katie. A Finnish beauty queen got caught. Someone posted a picture of her, and she was making these slitty eyes on her face, and someone wrote a tasteless caption. FBQ later explained that she had a migraine. Stretching her eyes out made the migraine feel better. … I got home and I washed my hands. I had about 10 minutes left on my timer, and the player automatically went to the next show. It turned out to be Gilbert Gottfried and David Steinberg … two old Jews in the home telling each other the same stories over and over.
Since there is a war going on, and oil is involved, it’s important to keep an eye on the price of oil and of the Dow Jones. The price of oil has gone down $10.20 a barrel since I last looked at it, and the Dow Jones is up 186 points. This is not a long-term trend. We’re just getting started on this killing party, and it might last for a while. Iran has the Straits of Hormuz shut down, and there’s no telling what our idiot leaders are going to be able to do about it. Meanwhile, there is always Twitter.
“@kelevitch November 2025: Netanyahu sets the goal of assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader. – December 2025: Lockheed Martin begins ramping up weapons production “months” before the war. – December 22: Senator Boozman (Chairman of Military Appropriations) buys RTX stock. Senator Williams buys defense stocks. – December 29: Senator Mullin (Armed Services Committee) buys $15,000-$50,000 of RTX stock. – January 2026: Lockheed signs “landmark” deal to TRIPLE PAC-3 and QUADRUPLE THAAD production. – January 9: Rep. Cisneros buys RTX stock. – January 12: US activates new joint missile defense center at Al Udeid, Qatar. – February 27: Oman’s FM announces “breakthrough” Iran agrees to dilute uranium and accept IAEA verification. Peace is “within reach.” – February 28: Bombs fall. – March 1: Defense stocks hit ALL-TIME HIGHS. $25-30 billion in shareholder wealth created in ONE DAY. – March 6: Trump hosts CEOs of 7 defense contractors at the White House. Lockheed: “We agreed to quadruple production.” – March 9: Oil hits $119. Markets crash globally. 1,850+ dead across 16 countries. And the War Powers Resolution? Voted down 47-53. By the same Congress that bought the stocks. That got the briefings. That took the AIPAC money.
Read that timeline again: — Netanyahu planned it in November — Lockheed prepared in December — Congress bought stocks in December-January — The peace deal was announced on February 27 — The bombs fell on February 28. Peace was “within reach” at 6 PM. The bombs fell at midnight. They didn’t fail at peace. They CHOSE war. While their stocks were already positioned. While the weapons were already built. While the kill target was already selected. And you? You get $3.50 gas. A crashing stock market. Dead soldiers. And a president who calls you a “FOOL” for worrying about it. They chose war. They profited from war. And they’re billing YOU for war. The only question left: what are you going to do about it?”
“@ComicDaveSmith You know Mehdi, I used to mourn the death of the American antiwar left during the Obama years. They were largely silent on the US created catastrophes in Libya, Syria, Somalia and Yemen. When the antiwar left returned on Gaza, I never thought to start lecturing them about voting for Biden in order to pat myself on the back and foolishly pretend that this proves their idiocy or guilt or whatever. I was just happy that they were good on such an important issue. Here you have the most influential guy in the country calling out this disastrous war and this is your response? Especially when YOU voted for genocide Joe and Kamala who supported the whole thing. Obviously I’m biased here. Joe is my guy and I also foolishly supported Trump but I think I’m right here.”
“@RealMassguy Someone just told me about this woman on Instagram who genuinely thought “JFC” stood for “just for clarification.” She’d been dropping it casually in professional emails for years. It instantly reminded me of my own mom, who for the longest time was convinced “LOL” meant “lots of love.” I swear to God, she once commented on a Facebook post where someone had shared tragic news: “So sorry for your loss. LOL.””
“@InsideLucysHead How would the Church of England deal with the statement that “The cat sat on the mat” if it appeared in the Bible? The liberal theologians would point out that such a passage did not, of course, mean that the cat literally sat on the mat. Also, cat and mat had different meanings in those days from today, and anyway, the text should be interpreted according to the customs and practices of the period. · This would lead to an immediate backlash from the Evangelicals. They would make it an essential condition of faith that a real physical, living cat, being a domestic pet of the species Domesticus, and having a whiskered head, a furry body, four legs and a tail, did physically place its whole body on a floor covering, designed for that purpose, and which is on the floor but not of the floor. The expression “on the floor but not of the floor” would be explained in a leaflet.
Meanwhile, the Catholics would have developed the Feast of the Sedentation of the Blessed Cat. This would teach that the cat was white, and majestically reclined on a mat of gold thread before its assumption to the Great Cat Basket of Heaven. This is commemorated by singing the “Magnificat” and “Felix namque”, lighting three candles, and ringing a bell five times. · This would cause a schism with the Orthodox Church, which believes tradition requires Holy Cats Days (as it is colloquially known) to be marked by lighting SIX candles and ringing the bell FOUR times. This would partly be resolved by the Cuckoo Land Declaration, recognising the traditional validity of each. · Eventually, the House of Bishops would issue a statement on the Doctrine of the Feline Sedentation. It would explain that traditionally, the text describes a domestic feline quadruped superjacent to an unattached covering on a fundamental surface. For determining its salvific and eschatological significations, we follow the heuristic analytical principles adopted in dealing with the Canine Fenestration Question (How much is that doggie in the window?) and the Affirmative Musaceous Paradox (Yes, we have no bananas). · The General Synod would then commend this report as helpful resource material for clergy to explain to the man in the pew the difficult doctrine of ‘The cat sat on the mat.’”
“Human Rights Watch Accuses Israel of White Phosphorus Use Over Lebanese Homes · Human Rights Watch verified images from March 3, 2026, showing Israeli artillery firing white phosphorus munitions over the southern Lebanese village of Yohmor, dispersing incendiary particles up to 250 meters amid clashes with Hezbollah. The group called the use unlawful in populated areas, warning of severe civilian risks despite no confirmed injuries, as Israel had ordered evacuations that morning. This incident follows Hezbollah rocket attacks on Israel since March 2.”
“@MaxBlumenthal WaPo reports the Anti-Defamation League and Trump admin are freaking out about the viral popularity of Operation Epstein Fury. I launched the name for Israeli-US terrorist war on Iran at 4:54 AM on February 28 and demand some credit, @JGreenblattADL … “The conflict has also sparked a sharp rise in antisemitic content, according to researchers from the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights organization — some of it seeking to link Epstein, who was Jewish, to the conflict. · “Pretty quickly after the conflict began, this conspiratorial rebranding of Operation Epic Fury” — the U.S. military’s official name — into ‘Operation Epstein Fury’ started circulating on social media platforms,” said Oren Segal, the ADL’s senior vice president of counter-extremism and intelligence. An ADL report found that the phrase “Epstein Fury” was mentioned more than 90,000 times by some 60,000 different accounts on X within the conflict’s first three days. … Other disinformation researchers have also taken note of the campaign to link U.S. and Israeli leaders to Epstein. Posts on X that used the phrase “Epstein regime” — a derogatory reference to the U.S.-Israel alliance — increased one hundred-fold on the first day of the missile strikes, said Emerson Brooking, director of strategy at the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab. Several of the most popular posts to use the phrase came from Owens.”
“@LealIris_ It’s scary to admit this, but the war got complicated as expected, and I’m not at all sure the Iranians will stop when Trump decides it’s over. We’re stuck in a nightmare because a cynical man indifferent to our existence whispered in the ear of an clueless infant and convinced him to embark on a failed military adventure. I assume the euphoria is over, cuties.” (Translated from Hebrew)
“@YoelH5 First time identifying signs of slackening and disappointment in the Netanyahu government on the Iranian front. In the immediate term, this is bad for a million children in Gaza. The Americans put a sweeping veto on bombing oil fields. Disagreements are emerging between the armies over some of the failures in Tehran. This is a nightmare for Gaza. Whitkopf will arrive in Jerusalem next week to mark an expiration date for the war in Iran. The frustration in the IDF will be dumped, as always, on the concentration camp in Gaza.” (Translated from Hebrew) … Pictures today are from The Library of Congress.
