Not sure which is more concerning, the fact a president can be openly bribed, or how cheap the price is.
"It was tough to beat Apple, but the Swiss did it." said one administration official.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

“In the late 1960s, Dr. Rossiter was working on her Ph.D. at Yale, when a comment from one of her male professors puzzled her. Who, she had asked, were the women in science? There were none, he said. Another professor mumbled something about Marie Curie being the exception.”🙃

I understand the impulse to say, "These people have agency", when wanting to place moral blame on individual actors, even who are working within a system.

But it is technically incorrect. The truth is that *we do not know the contingencies operating on their learning histories*. 1/

Fantastic "why you can't trust geo-IP lookups for anything operational" case study.
Case in point - someone hid an AirTag in their artwork at a large show I helped hang. The cell tower crew was outside and fired up a new temporary tower, which was set to an address 10 miles away. AirTag goes off and says “I’m 10 miles from where I should be” and the artist called the cops.

"National Security" was the same argument our government used 80 years ago to justify the immoral internment of people of Japanese descent at this very military base.

It was wrong then, it’s wrong now.
