The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism:

“We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of
Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”

While we’re massing our fleets to terrorize random boats and stare down Venezuela, the state of our Navy is let’s say less than optimal.
Navy investigations released Thursday found that insufficient communication, low levels of knowledge for certain operations and a lack of integrated training were factors involved in four accidents during the USS Harry S. Truman's recent deployment.
Mishaps could have been prevented, ‘catastrophic’: Navy releases findings of 4 incidents involving USS Harry S. Truman
The investigations focused on lost aircraft, a collision with a merchant vessel and a case of friendly fire involving the carrier and strike group.

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

New York lawmakers have proposed requiring retailers to disclose when they use "surveillance pricing" tactics to gouge consumers.

It's a much-needed step towards reining in how companies can weaponize your personal data.

Watch Lina Khan explain how it works.

I'm at the Luigi Mangione hearing today in New York. This week is focused on whether some key pieces of evidence are admissible in court. Follow along at @theverge.com www.theverge.com/policy/83488...
Luigi Mangione has entered the courtroom.
We’re more than an hour and a half behind the scheduled start time for the hearing in New York. Mangione was allowed to wear street clothes today, which elicited wall-to-wall news coverage last month....

If you are an untalented man, mediocre, or generally possessed of malaise, you can always enlist in becoming a war criminal. Unless you were born or become disabled before enlistment. In which case, regardless, your existence as a man is considered equally as disposable as many other kinds of people
Took me an hour overall to unpackage this recliner, assemble it, and not hurt myself. Twice the amount of time and energy as an able bodied man. So thoughtful of my family.
What a great idea: your disabled son? chronic back pain? Get him a new living room chair! Make sure it comes packaged like a nuke and also he has to assemble the chair himself.

No Democrat has won a statewide election in Texas in nearly 36 years, but the idea of Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett running for Senate would mean Democrats are “cooked”?

A journalist asked Trump if he’d attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guardswoman, aged 20, who was shot in Washington. After briefly saying he hadn’t thought about it yet, he quickly went off on a tangent about winning West Virginia “by the biggest margins of any president”.
