The U.S., Iran and Oman are closing in on an interim agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with the U.S. aiming for a Wednesday announcement. -Axios

lol Politico trying to meme themselves with that “not the night progressives wanted” with a picture of the progressive who got wildly outspent and still won decisively

thus do we understand half the reason for the NYT’s seething anti-Mamdani grudge

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · 19h ago

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

I spoke with 10 CNNers about David Ellison's essay in The NYT, in which he tried to convince the public he'll be a good steward of CNN. Suffice to say, no one at the network is buying what he's selling. “We all have eyes and ears and see what’s happening at CBS." www.status.news/p/david-elli...

We have to go deeper

Republican power grabs in Kansas and Missouri are going down in flames with 18-25% of votes reported so far. Missouri's Amendment 4 aimed to make citizen-initiated constitutional amendments practically impossible. Kansas' Amendment 1 was designed to flip the state Supreme Court to ban abortion

3AW just desperately following their listeners as they swarm around the monster AW and other rightwing media have created/enabled. This morning Elliott repeatedly attacked those protesting One Nation because 'they're going against the wishes of 31% of all Australians'.

If you’re someone that’s won over by a grifter & charlatan, that isn’t the flex you think it is, Tom.

You are not ready for the level of "why would you DO THAT" here

Yup. Tis I.

Musk, whew: "If you have a mass accelerator on the moon, and you have solar and radiator production on the moon, you can -- I know this sounds totally nuts -- but you can probably scale to 1,000 times the economy of Earth in terms of intelligence launched to space, maybe even 1 million."

Good news everyone, the cultist has determined the reason he has fallen from favour with his local spirits, this time the incantations are pleasing to them. For sure.

oh gas town didn't work you say yegge.ai/essays/the-s...

So apparently Iran is desperate to negotiate and then they will reopen the Strait which the US controls. I'm looking forward to seeing how ABC's Doran tries to sanewash this bullshit.

Max Kennerly@maxkennerly.bsky.social · 2d ago

The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

Important to note that while this is nonsense wrt new cars, the market for used EVs isn't as large yet, and this talking point still goes uncontested eg last night www.abc.net.au/news/2026-08...

Occurs to me a policy answer to "EVs are only for rich people" is to encourage Chinese manufacturers to import more here, even partially make them here? This has a bonus possibility of making people like Hartcher, Clive Hamilton and everyone at ASPI fall over from rage brain.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Trump's line of BS today is that he's actively negotiating a deal to open the Strait of Hormuz, which is controlled by the United States

Mmm yes. This dude. Extremely specific view of antisemitism, entirely about criticism of the current govt of Israel. Musk doing Nazi salutes and race science and the rest, he's just an exuberant lil guy, aw shucks. He brings absolutely nothing worth listening to.

It will be a challenge but I have faith that the Spectator can find another frothing bigot nonce to replace Liddle. It's not like the UK has a shortage of them.

CENTCOM new plan

Someone might think I am exceedingly harsh about CENTCOM. I would respond by saying it is not possible to be harsh enough about these fuckwits. "Please please let us attack Iran" nekminnit US is kicked out of the region.

Shipwreck@shipwreck75.bsky.social · 2d ago

A senior officer in US Central Command’s (CENTCOM) intelligence branch emailed a broad group of military analysts seeking “new creative and unconventional ways to pressure and punish Iran.” A second source indicated a similar request went out the prior week.

One of my favorite things recently is James Carville FaceTiming into centrist festivals from his death bed with no recline to complain about any Democrat under the age of 60. Invariably his corpse winds up on Fox News. Master of communications right here.

The "renewables vs agriculture" argument is of course, completely ass backwards. See for instance here. Solar panels help crop growth energiesmedia.com/solar-panels...

American farmers slid solar panels over 62,000 acres of farmland, and the biggest payoff had almost nothing to do with electricity

Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.
