When the sun explodes and rips the atmosphere from the Earth, we will have 8 minutes of grace before the sky goes dark, and humanity rejoices in its impermanence before it is forever silenced—which is honestly more than we deserve. Happy #Twertzog Day

@RachelBitecofer Interesting. According to Gemini, Gen X men broke for Trump by +18 points, while Gen X women were much more divided, breaking for Trump by only +4 points. Only 20% of the electorate.

The Boomers aren’t the problem: Gen X is the problem. My Gen

@MilesTaylorUSA @mehdirhasan I loathe Scott Jennings.

You know who’s a perfect metaphor for the GOP? Scott Jennings. A pundit who mocks Trump with us during commercial breaks — but fawns over Trump when the camera is rolling. Brave enough to speak out… in the green room.

S&P 500 futures and oil futures flashed an unusual burst of activity early Monday minutes before a market-moving social media post from President Donald Trump. The timing of the volume spikes across both equities and crude caught the attention of traders, particularly given the absence of an obvious catalyst at the moment they occurred.

🚨 Do you understand what just happened.. five minutes before Trump announced he's halting attacks on Iran.. someone bought $1.5 billion in S&P 500 futures and sold $192 million in oil.. five minutes.. not five days.. not five hours.. five minutes.. the trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else hitting the market at that time.. someone knew the exact words the President was going to say before he said them.. and turned that information into the biggest single trade of the day.. they tell you the stock market is a "free and fair market".. that "anyone can build wealth".. that "the system works for everyone".. the system worked for someone today.. five minutes before you even knew what happened.. they already got paid.. this isn't insider trading anymore.. insider trading implies they're hiding it.. this is broad daylight.

Quick reminder when the Allies free’d people from concentration camps, they free’d everyone except those with pink triangles

@kron4news We all know this is wrong & it’s not justice. But locking up an 80 year old woman probably isn’t justice either. I wish the judge were able to think creatively & find a way to match the tragedy of her crime with a pragmatic punishment. Let’s hope the civil lawsuit fits the crime.

A driver who killed a family of four, including two babies, at a San Francisco bus stop was sentenced to probation. Mary Fong Lau (seen here walking through the courthouse today) dodged jail and prison time. Lau, 80, was speeding when her Mercedes SUV plowed into a West Portal bus stop in 2024, investigators said. A family was waiting to catch the bus for a trip to the zoo. The crash killed Diego Cardoso de Oliveira, his wife, Matilde Pinto, and their two babies. Lau stood up in the courtroom and said, “I want to say to all the family, sorry. Sorry.” Full Story: kron4.com/news/bay-area/…

It’s a crime that “Shortbus” isn’t included in this list. apple.news/AR6nJL2KPSPeNK…

Luckily, all previous weapons exports from Switzerland were used only for neutral purposes. Their consciences remain clear. Whew!

@QuiverQuant But the tariffs are saving us, right?!

@HawaiiNewsNow I’m sure the GOP will be great advocates for Hawaiian sovereignty, the people of Hawai’i, and all the socioeconomic issues Hawai’i’s people face. /sarcasm

@desmondatlantic @sfstandard @stbearman It’s really not.

@sfstandard @stbearman 400k in sf is lower middle class

SF families earning between $310,000 and $400,000 say they occupy a specific, uncomfortable middle ground: too rich for child-care subsidies, yet too squeezed to have another kid. 📝: @stbearman sfstandard.com/2026/03/15/wea…

@Avonleebythesea @LouiseCulmer1 Do you have any examples?

@LouiseCulmer1 They are reprinting it with alterations

Ordering physical copies from places like Amazon is also not fail-safe. They are often print on demand and have also been altering wording and language in books (including, of all the ironic things, “1984”. Shop old books at used bookshops, don’t let these treasures end up in landfills, they really are the only way to preserve original content and it is incredibly dystopian to think that it’s quite possible if we don’t, in a generation many things could be lost to us

Jürgen Habermas, whose work on communication, rationality and sociology made him one of the world’s most influential philosophers and a key intellectual figure in his native Germany, has died. He was 96. apnews.com/article/juerge…
