Room Temp

Janesh and Markos break down the Iran mess, why invading mountains is a terrible strategy, why Pete Hegseth’s career is basically a disaster tour, and why one extremely confused Trump voter is just now realizing things might not be going great.
Also: a bold new political strategy — abolish daylight savings and win elections.

Trump ran as the “candidate of peace.” Now we’re bombing Iran. Janesh and Markos break down the war, the MAGA meltdown, and why half the internet thinks this is all a distraction from the Epstein files.

Historic disapproval. Presidential rambling. Olympic nationalism gone feral. And a Florida anime fan blaming Medicare for his ass cream. It’s Episode 2 of Room Temp.

Room Temp launches with a look at midterm panic, Trump voter regret, raw milk workouts with RFK, and why “vibes” don’t pay rent. Politics is absurd — we’re just calling it out.
