NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.

So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.

Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:
Voters Ousted This Pennsylvania Sheriff After He Signed Up to Collaborate With ICE - Bolts
A populous, swing county replaced its GOP sheriff on Tuesday after months of controversy over his joining ICE’s 287(g) program. The Democratic winner promises he’ll end the contract.

Oh lord. The Wilson Center was where my father, the historian Hugh Seton-Watson, was a visiting scholar in the last months of his life. How awful. It’s a fantastic place.

This is making our nation, in terms of self-defence and international diplomacy, weaker, and is making Russia stronger. This threatens our nation.

I was a Research Assistant for Kennan in college. And I remember admiring the USAID entrance each time I left work, wondering if I might work there someday.

So much pointless loss. So many crushed dreams of something better.

Trump is eliminating Wilson Center, a stellar US foreign policy study establishment. Along with it goes the Kennan Institute - one of the best Russia study institutions.
I was fortunate to be a Kennan Fellow in 2017.

V. received an SOS this morning from Edward Kasinec (former librarian at the legendary dismantled Slavo-Baltic Room at NYPL). The #KennanInstitute Library is in danger from DOGE stooges--likely to be trashed--without swift aid from institutions willing to house materials temporarily.

The #KennanInstitute:
Named for George Kennan: the American who invented the *Containment* frame for US Cold War strategy that formed a core part of US efforts to defeat the USSR.
No wonder Putin’s servants in Trump Regime tried to destroy it.
Containment helped break Vlad’s beloved Soviet Union.

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help.

We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party
“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”

I’m about to fill my pockets with stones and walk into the sea.

Wow, had no idea this existed. A 1948 radio show about A Streetcar Named Desire winning the Drama Critics Circle Award featuring scenes performed by the original Broadway cast including Jessica Tandy as Blanche. Tantalizing and invaluable glimpse at how she played it.

I read the piece and was a bit taken back by Lewis continuing to defend Gibb etc al saying he thought they were trying to protect the BBC in their own way

I beg to differ. If they are then they have let the whole thing run out of control. Idiots!

Starmer should have sacked the Board day one

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

Marc Andreesen joins Peter Thiel and Elon Musk in expressing contempt for Pope Leo and attacking the Catholic Church's new position on AI... and in the process makes clear that he has a far weaker grasp of AI than the Roman curia.
Tech Billionaire Mocks Pope Leo’s AI Warning — and Reveals Silicon Valley’s Original Sin
A billionaire tech guru openly mocked Leo's call for moral AI — and quickly backtracked after backlash. It’s a telling collision of Silicon Valley hubris with a pope they cannot buy, bully, or ignore.

The head of MI5 asked Kash Patel to protect the job of a London FBI agent, who dealt with surveillance tech that British security would need to monitor a new embassy China wants to build in London, U.S. officials said. After Patel agreed to fund the agent's role, the job is now slated to disappear.

The episode has contributed to concerns among intelligence allies that Kash Patel, brash and partisan, is also unpredictable and even unreliable.

Learning medicine is a continuous lifelong process. We award medical degrees and start paying doctors after 4 years of school because we think they're qualified to practice medicine (with supervision). You're saying let's do it a year earlier, which is kind of scary, tbh. A handful might be ready.

My medical practice focuses exclusively on problems with the left arm. For all intents and purposes, all the time and effort I put in to learn all the body parts except the left arm were a waste. About a week is all a doctor would need to learn a specific part- toes, balls, or spleen or whatever

Yeah, we saw a pod like this once from super far away on a ridge in Big Sur and there were a bunch of orcas in the mix hunting them. I sent the photos and video to the killer whale project and they even suggested what family of killer whales it probably was given location.
