"Hegseth appears to be cultivating a leadership style not dissimilar to that of a company-grade infantry officer, the pinnacle of his leadership experience in uniform, micromanaging each process rather than creating strategy to streamline solving problems"- great quote from a senior defense analyst.

So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

Grandparents must lead on vaccines. We remember the dangers of vaccine preventable diseases. Our message- it is crucial that every child be vaccinated following the AAP childhood immunization schedule.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.
But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…

It is completely obvious that if Trump was alive in July 4, 1776 he would have been a loyalist backing King George III while searching for every possible way to avoid serving in the war.
