Credible reports of at least 3 Indian Air Force jets downed. This counts as significant losses given the extreme difficulty with which such assets can be replaced. Unlikely this tempo can be maintained for very long without serious change in strategy.
The open fighting between India and Pakistan looks as bad as it's been in a long long time. India claiming to have hit nine targets inside Pakistan, Pakistan claiming to have downed two jets and hit an airbase. Every possibility things get worse from here.

Question: Why would anyone come watch the World Cup or the Olympics here, when we have made it clear so many are not welcome?
VANCE: We'll have visitors from close to 100 countries. We want them to come, we want them to celebrate, we want them to watch the games. But when the time is up, they'll have to go home, otherwise they'll have to talk to Secretary Noem

Apparently this needs to be said but you are ABSOLUTELY allowed to have a sexual preference with genitals. And nobody should be shamed for their preferences. HOWEVER, a persons identity is NOT dependent on whether or not you want to fuck them.

I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky
Just received an email saying that it's not advisable to include the following words in future applications for research funding to the US DOT. Here we are.

There's a new conservative study purporting to prove that abortion medication is dangerous. Let's talk about why it's horseshit.
To start, it's published by a conservative think tank, not peer-reviewed, and contradicts decades of credible research showing mifepristone is safe

Yes. In a sane media environment, the bathroom ban would be the end of anyone treating 'gender critical feminists' as anything other than a hate group. It's a straightforwardly bigoted policy that imposes an insane 'solution' to a nonexistent problem.
