This is monumentally hypocritical, and of course he knows it. These Trump goons get off on doing this right in front of our eyes. It makes them feel powerful.

The Irish Navy had a ship present, but 'made the decision not to shoot down the drones', though the article also notes it the vessel did not have the capacity to disable the drones.
A huge reminder that Irish neutrality does not protect it from hybrid attacks.

One of the things about trust is that it is efficient. It saves you having to invest a lot of time and effort in verification, and if placed in the right places, saves you a lot of pain.

It feels like a large part of both culture and politics these days is people wondering “why don’t I feel the way I did when I was 12”

Also the extent to which Tolkien would have hated literally all of those mean-spirited, soulless dorks.
Palantir is especially on the nose: a means of communication perverted by evil to spy on the world in the service of darkness.
Good god, man, read the room.

Look, I know I'm not a billionaire with a cooked brain.
But if I was, I would not be naming my companies after LOTR.
I'd be naming them after Dune.
They all have Messiah complexes might as well embrace it.

To me, "Drumpf" and the other names are just the left-wing equivalent of "Killary" and "Demonrats." An instant signal not to take the person seriously.
When someone calls him Drumpf or tRump, my opinion of them is immediately lowered. It just looks and sounds so stupid and childish. I'm all for mocking these clowns, but have a little self-respect while doing so.

The fact doomers have gone from "America is over" to "Dems won't hold anyone responsible when this is over" can actually be read as an optimistic signal imo.

For no particular reason, not sure I'd want to be profiled as an exec of THAT company, dropping THAT particular quote.
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

The first is to change the way you work. Traditional Lean thinking—remove waste; work on one thing at a time (reduce WIP to 1)—cuts development time in half or more. Working collaboratively (e.g., mob/ensemble programming) eliminates coordination and integration overhead.

Let’s talk about “Move fast and break things.” First of all, Facebook itself changed its motto to “Move fast with stable infrastructure” in 2014. So much for breaking things, at least if you’re a soulless corporate behemoth.

Does anybody else have MAGA relatives who are now insisting that the 'Quiet Piggy' insult was actually Trump saying 'Quiet McGee'?
