The title hides the real outrage.

👉🏾 #Trump draws backlash for comment on Iran war: ‘Maybe we shouldn’t even be there’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/16/trump-backlash-iran-war

Basically Trump says #America 🇺🇸 does not even need to protect the Strait of Hormuz because the choke point does not affect the economy of the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 (it DOES due to synthetic fertilizer & plastic packaging!!!!).

This affects #Europe & #Asia, & we could experience a famine & factory shutdowns due to this conflict if it is not resolved soon!

The red dwarf star is small, & the star is “relatively” close to humanity (under 100 light years).

However, unless it has a thick atmosphere, I doubt this planet is habitable, as its surface temperature with a standard Earth atmosphere would result in near boiling oceans.

I wonder if he is unconscious in #Russia 🇷🇺‽

It would make sense, as the leader of #Iran 🇮🇷 could easily make a statement from Moscow under the protection of #Putin.

👉🏾 'Lost one leg': Iran's 🇮🇷 new leader Mojtaba Khamenei secretly flown to Russia 🇷🇺 for surgery, says report https://www.wionews.com/photos/-mojtaba-khamenei-lost-one-leg-iran-s-new-leader-secretly-flown-to-russia-for-surgery-says-report-1773630442416

This is bad. Yes, I did learn something new today, but not in a celebratory way, but in a sobering reality type of way.

The war between #America 🇺🇸 & #Iran 🇮🇷 could initiate a global (yes, as in worldwide) famine.

I did not realize that half of humanity (4 billion plus people) use synthetic fertilizer to stay alive—to grow their food.

Not sure if my politicians like me (probably not), but I should give them a call.

Blaming #Ukraine 🇺🇦 as a reason to shut down the Internet is…odd. Does #Putin realize this will turn people against him‽

👉🏾 #Russia 🇷🇺 Shuts Off Internet in Moscow as It Tests Nationwide Censorship System https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/russia-shuts-off-internet-in-moscow-as-it-tests-nationwide-censorship-system-3b44c0af

@vernissage @geobomatic Is the app available worldwide or limited to certain regions‽ I do not see it in the US App Store.

I am grateful that this terrorist was also neutralized before he could hurt someone else.

Authorities have not released any details regarding the motive yet, but from what I have read the individual drove a truck into a Jewish school, knocked out a security guard (with his truck), & then was killed by security guards within the building.

👉🏾 Temple Israel attacker dead, guard injured, kids OK in West Bloomfield https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2026/03/12/temple-israel-shooting-west-bloomfield/89119641007/

So this terrorist was a part of the US military, was caught trying to help Islamic State (aka ISIS), detained, then somehow is released years later.

Fast forward to today, terrorist obtains a weapon (which can be easily done illegally in #America 🇺🇸), then decides to attack a classroom full of military aspiring students—who somehow kill him without having a gun themselves‽

Senate passes major housing affordability bill by Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott 🔛 @darnell@flipboard.com 📰 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/senate-passes-major-housing-affordability-bill-warren-scott-rcna263046?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user/NBCNews

So I guess Bluesky is trying to scale up‽ I wonder if they will try to keep the former CEO of Automattic as their new CEO‽

It would take decades for #America 🇺🇸 to embrace #Norway’s 🇳🇴 prison philosophy, but after watching this video I believe it would be wiser for the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 to consider it.

👉🏾 Why Luxury Prisons are Actually Genius https://youtu.be/svGPePk2Tac

In America 🇺🇸, our prison system is run by the states & the federal government. I think if one of these states embraced the Norway way (pun intended) for treating prisoners, there would be far less reoffenders.

Oil prices soar past $100 per barrel; Iran names Khamenei's son supreme leader 🔛 @darnell@flipboard.com 📰 https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/live-blog/live-updates-iran-war-oil-prices-khamenei-supreme-leader-israel-trump-rcna262378?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user/NBCNews

So this is what #DonaldTrump was referring to when he said “I got him before he got me.” (Paraphrasing here)

👉🏾 Pakistani man found guilty in alleged plot to kill US politicians https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8egjnp4j7jo

A terrorist from #Pakistan 🇵🇰 plotted to kill #Trump, #JoeBiden & #NikkiHaley over a $1 million bounty from #Iran 🇮🇷.

This war will definitely escalate.

Note: Saddam Hussein tried to kill President George H. W. Bush years ago. His son President George W. Bush invaded #Iraq 🇮🇶 years later.

For the love of #America 🇺🇸, I hope this is not true!

👉🏾 It Can Now Be Plainly Said: #Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État 🔛 @newrepublic 📰 https://newrepublic.com/post/207138/trump-coup-detat-midterm-elections

@schnedan 😂🤣😂 I am already mentally prepared thanks to the glorious words of my President!

Fiscally…not so much! 😂

At four times the mass of Earth 🌍, I am more or less skeptical about this world being habitable. Especially since it orbits a red dwarf star.

👉🏾 Astronomers confirm potentially habitable exoplanet in the solar neighborhood https://www.astronomy.com/science/astronomers-confirm-potentially-habitable-exoplanet-in-the-solar-neighborhood/

@ohmu Wind & solar are great if energy demands are stable, but neither can handle peak demands: https://itif.org/publications/2024/09/30/why-wind-and-solar-need-natural-gas-realistic-approach-to-variability/

It is a known problem, which is why it will be nearly impossible to phase out gas as an option over the next decades.

Nuclear (at least in the medium term) is a realistic option, & has proven to meet peek demands in the past: http://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/five-reasons-the-clean-energy-transition-needs-nuclear-power

The issue is major factories & AI data centers. Those alone demand far more energy than residential neighborhoods.

@schnedan Yeah, us tax payers are going to pay for all of this one way or another.

Yeah, if demand is this high, then it is not surprising that the US is asking allies to help “fill in the gap,” especially from the UK 🇬🇧.

@schnedan I think batteries could easily alleviate peak demands for residential & commercial areas (homes, office buildings, etcetera).

I am doubtful when it comes to major factories (auto, military, heavy machinery, space, etcetera) or the greedy #AI companies that consume way too much electricity (they are increasing becoming a massive problem in America 🇺🇸!).

The world needs to come up with an inexpensive & practice alternative soon, as using fossil fuels is not wise in the long term.

This war against #Iran 🇮🇷 might last much longer than previously thought.

👉🏾 #Trump increasing production of military supplies https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116184185735585906

Ironically, the energy disruption hurts #America 🇺🇸, but thanks to the “conquest” (more like bullying current leaders) of #Venezuela 🇻🇪, sweet talking #Alberta in #Canada 🇨🇦 (latter needs to counter the separatists movement) & national drilling, the US is not as affected as most nations on Earth (this war really hurts #Asia & #Europe).
