It’s March Madness time!!! And owing to the fact that I know nothing about most teams, I use the “cheese” method to choose my NCAA picks: basically if it sounds like a cheese that’s who I pick: Gonzaga, Marquette, Creighton, Xavier, Baylor…

I feel like we need about 1000 acres of isolated land to use for drone war testing ground. Radio jamming, ECM, counter-counter measures, lasers, satellite, long distance WiFi…anything goes. Then open it up to college teams for capture the flag games.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

It’s going from mild to wild at HHS

Alt CDC (they/them)@altcdc.altgov.info

HHS has ordered CDC to stop its influenza vaccine “Wild to Mild” media campaign. This is an award-winning campaign that effectively explains how influenza vaccine may not prevent infection but does decrease illness severity. We are currently having one of the worst influenza seasons in 15 years.

I feel like we should have a little disruption to commemorate Jan/6 Maybe a holiday where you tip over your neighbor trash cans, then play a 4-yr game of dodgeball with your local authorities.

I've been warning about this for a while. Sooner than you think U.S. economists may have to go Argentine, cobbling together alternative estimates of inflation, employment and so on because the official data have been corrupted.

Nirvana changed music.

Today in 1993: Nirvana’s iconic “Unplugged” concert airs on MTV. “.. In the moment, you weren’t aware you were taping what was Nirvana's last album," producer Alex Coletti said later. "It was only in hindsight that it became what it became." #RIP

Is this the first reported drone with machine targeting and firing? That’s pretty huge. Inevitable, but still a big deal.

NEW: Prominent voices within the Russian information space continue to emphasize that Russian President Vladimir Putin is uninterested in a negotiated settlement to the war in Ukraine that results in anything less than total Ukrainian capitulation. (🧵1/5)

Trump’s second biggest failing is that he’s such a mid-wit. After, of course, insurrection.

Paul Krugman@pkrugman.bsky.social

It goes without saying that this is stupid, and I wonder what set it off. Was there a segment on Fox News? But I thought it might be worth a thread explaining what Trump (and, to be fair, some other international leaders) don't get about international money 1/

(2nd attempt): a name to look out for: Stephen Moore for Trumps Fed. He was part of the debasement panic of 2010’s that threatened the Fed and cowed the administration into a weak recovery strategy after GFC2008.

…and the homeowners among the crowd benefit from fixed interest loans on long term repayment. (With their higher income). For these people, it was a clear WIN. Basically their house payment got 20% cheaper. Forever.

Given this, completely unreasonable to expect low-information voters to understand that inflation was global, mostly not caused by Biden policies 3/
