Spring is here. The hangover of daylight saving time has mostly worn off. The weather is changing, the flowers are sprouting, the trees are showing off.
Entire books of poetry have been written about this moment, when the last of winter fades into the refreshment of spring. But I love this poem by Rainer Maria Rilke, one of the greatest modern poets in the game. It’s fresh and direct.
EARLY SPRING
Harshness vanished. A sudden softness
has replaced the meadows' wintry grey.
Little rivulets of water changed
their singing accents. Tendernesses,
hesitantly, reach toward the earth
from space, and country lanes are showing
these unexpected subtle risings
that find expression in the empty trees.Have a good weekend, Pham.
Oh, and enjoy this little masterpiece, from the very talented Ben Howe:
DUMPSTER FIRE - EPISODE #298
Hollywood Hates You And Doesn’t Hide It Anymore
Bridget Phetasy watched the Oscars so you didn’t have to. From the “open borders” jokes to the blatant political snubs in the “In Memoriam” segment, Bridget breaks down why Hollywood remains a fortress of elitism that actively dislikes its own audience. Are the Oscars a celebration of film, or just a high-budget campaign rally for the people who want you at Dave & Buster’s?
THE DAILY WIRE
America Tried To ‘Fix’ Men For Two Decades. Here’s What It Got Instead.
America spent two decades trying to “fix” masculinity. It nearly broke the country — and the guys who complained the loudest about it turned out to be the ones with the least ability to fix it. America needs manly men — not men who are afraid of their masculinity, and not men who only talk about it.

WALK-INS WELCOME - EPISODE #382
Why This Isn’t Iraq 2003: The Case for Taking Down Iran’s Regime - Behnam Ben Taleblu
Behnam Ben Taleblu joins Bridget to offer his expertise on Iran. They discuss who’s actually in charge in Iran right now, what Americans need to understand about the Islamic Republic’s ideology, why the plight of Iranian women gets ignored by Western feminists, and why this conflict is fundamentally different from Iraq 2003. They cover how the regime destroyed Iran’s environment to fund the Revolutionary Guard, how they worked with Mexican drug cartels and Canadian biker gangs to target dissidents on US soil, how AI-generated propaganda muddies the water in favor of the regime, why Hollywood actors completely miss what’s happening by lumping Iran with Palestine and Iraq.
DUMPSTER FIRE - EPISODE #299
America Flexed Its Military Might And I Hate That I’m Kind Of Into It
Bridget breaks down why we’re living in a “Milli Vanilli” version of the 1990s, where nostalgia capitalism meets a very real threat of global conflict. She dives into why two decades of gender theory ended the moment America decided to start “flexing” its military might again. Plus, she calls out the “pick me” energy of legacy media stars desperate to stay relevant to a radicalized algorithm.
THE SPECTATOR
The Epstein files and the new Satanic Panic
The Epstein situation is different in one critical respect: Jeffrey Epstein was a real predator. Real crimes were committed. We know that real victims exist. But that kernel of truth is exactly what makes the current panic more dangerous, not less. It gives everyone permission to treat speculation as truth, proximity as proof and a flight log as a conviction. The fact that something terrible actually happened becomes a justification for whatever theory you want to push. “Isn’t it weird, man?” is compelling and it might be true. But it’s not evidence.
