Scripting News: Tuesday, April 7, 2026
Hacker News isn't a software masterpiece. All the pieces have to be there to make something as real as HN happen.#
The president of the United States is spinning around acting like a NYC real estate jumbo who accidentally was elected president and after only five years in office has realized a whole new level of trolling. It started with cable news, then went to Twitter, then masked American gestapo killing protestors on TV for everyone to see, and then starting a war with Iran of all countries. #- I'm sure his generals suggested that at the same time as they were bombing Iran proper, that they should send in a few boatloads of Marines to occupy the Strait of Hormuz. When the Iranians weren't so desperate, it might have been relatively easy to take it over. I'm sure we've spent billions over the years on what to do if we had to attack Iran, not like now when things like this are done on a whim. #
- Anyway, what a movie. The audacity of the writers. One things for sure we'll all be watching at 8PM Eastern to see if he blows up the world tonight or whatever. #
