It’s Monday…
Before we tackle today’s Shitshow, I’d like to remind everyone that June is Pride Month.
A month to celebrate, support, and recognize the LGBTQ+ community, their contributions, their history, and their ongoing fight for equality.
Like every Pride Month since social media became a thing, you’ll see a ton of people complaining, “Why do they get a month when our military doesn’t?”
The answer is simple: they do.
I will never understand why there’s pride month when we only get veterans one day. This type of shit needs to change.

Scott was so sure he was right that he asked Grok to fact-check me…
Yes, November is National Veterans and Military Families Month, with annual presidential proclamations recognizing veterans and military families all month (expanded from 1996). May is also National Military Appreciation Month for servicemembers and veterans. Veterans Day on Nov…

The rest of the tweet says: Veterans Day on Nov 11 is the main federal holiday.
There are also several military observances in June.
Turns out the existence of Pride Month doesn’t cancel any of that. Human beings are capable of recognizing more than one group at a time, despite what the comment section may lead you to believe.
Shitshow’s public schedule for…
Guys, I’m still trying to work out the video idea. Right now, the biggest challenge is finding enough uninterrupted time to record and edit it.
Having said that, I’m aware Puddle went on an epic AI-generated posting spree over the weekend. Today, though, we’re going to focus on some of his text posts.
With any luck, I’ll have a video ready to share tomorrow.
“Executive Time” for Monday only has two posts so far. Both posts were posted just after 1:00 am D.C., time:
Speaking of Iran…
Iranian negotiators will stop exchanging messages with the U.S. through intermediaries, and Tehran will move to fully close the Strait of Hormuz, in retaliation for ongoing ceasefire violations, Iran’s state-affiliated news outlet Tasnim said Monday.

The report, in a translated post on the social media site Telegram, homed in on Israel’s military operations in Lebanon against the Iran-backed militia Hezbollah.
“No dialogue will take place” until Israel fully withdraws from occupied areas in Lebanon and stops all attacks in both Lebanon and Gaza, per Tasnim.
“Also, the resistance front and Iran have resolved to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and activate other fronts including the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, in order to punish the Zionists and their supporters,” the report said.
The Bab el-Mandeb Strait is a trade chokepoint that connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden.
Oil prices leapt more than 7% higher following Tasnim’s report, which signaled a breakdown in efforts to reach a diplomatic end to the war that is now in its fourth month.
