I don't think the administration's murder of folks that happen to be on "drug-boat"-ish vessels will lead to much in the way of legal consequences but everyone who objects should still expend every effort to make that happen. Giving up would be as big a betrayal of the rule of law.

#EYDC2025 Day 6: I don’t drop dramas often - I’m a completist by nature. Dramas I wish I hadn’t started? Divorce Insurance, Motel California, Potato Lab, Good Boy - all disappointing. And no words for When Stars Gossip (my low point: scientists making arrests and doing warrantless searches 🙄).

#EYDC2025 - Day 2: I first saw Im Ji Yeon in #TheGlory (and was terrified of her). But this year she grabbed my attention in #TaleofLadyOk and #NiceNotToMeetYou. She can pretty much do anything — villain, hero, historical, and even slapstick comedy. Fan for life!

#EYDC2025 Day 1: Only Korean for many reasons. My #kdrama watchlist is too long; the tropes remind me of Old Hollywood (❤️); I’m fascinated by the Korean theme of grief and their contempt for capitalism. And I’m not especially tempted by the things other countries do well (eg, history, fantasy).

Imagine being a law student.
From axing West Point’s Black history program to gutting women’s support groups, Brigadier Gen. Ty Seidule (Ret.) says the environment for young officers is “extraordinarily hard.” He argues that those serving now are doing so in the toughest conditions in years.

Letting Silicon Valley Geoengineer the Atmosphere Will End Badly
We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments — which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all — are ceded to private industry.

The new NCI director told staff that "the administration is not backing away" from cancer research and the NCI just a day after a study came out showing the Trump assault on NIH/NCI and science in general had disrupted more than 100 cancer clinical trials.
Once more from yesterday, I obtained a recording of the new NCI director’s first town hall.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."
