![The president said that he “wouldn’t have wanted” a second strike on the boat survivors, and that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told him he did not order one.
Mr. Hegseth had previously said, that he yatched the operation live on video. But on Tuesday, Mr. Hegseth [inserted text: who has a Nazi tattoo] said he “didn’t stick around” to see the second strike.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mrthjpvae4obmhivsy7vngi7/bafkreid67b35a26qrmmzmwrglp42w2rgs3x32mxuc2malmtjwqmhfszo7a@jpeg)
![In response to reports that the first of these strikes included a second round that killed two survivors on a burning boat, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Tuesday that he authorized and watched the initial attacks but did not watch the second round. "I watched that first strike live," Hegseth said at a Cabinet meeting at the White House. "As you can imagine, the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do. So I moved on to my next meeting."
Hegseth, [inserted text: [who has a Nazi tattoo], said he did not see survivors of that Sept. 2 attack on the video and that the following strikes to sink the boat, which killed the survivors, were ordered by Adm. Frank M. Bradley.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mrthjpvae4obmhivsy7vngi7/bafkreiglwvw2cihbz57bmtb5d7ymbm5u2ktenvi6brqwwesfsyc2sbmipy@jpeg)

A friend who is a Muslim African immigrant to the US just sent this meme via WhatsApp and I am so touched because a native born American would never treat our most important secular holiday with such unironic reverence and goodwill.

I had never tried Gemini Deep Research before (and heard rave reviews from folks), so yesterday I decided to give it a go, asking a scholarly question I already know the answer to, so I could see how its response stacks up.
It’s had ~18 hours to process my query, and this is as far as it’s gotten.

I will miss Neil terribly, as will the whole
@AU_MTD community. He left behind a wife and daughter, and a large network of dedicated friends, colleagues, and collaborators. The world is richer for his life, and poorer for his loss.

Used artificial intelligence.
To generate a video of himself. Defecating on the American people.
And there's no mention of it.
In the New York Times.
Instead, they went with this pressing news.

I just paid a significant amount of money for some plane tickets, and now the airline is telling me I need to pay more, or:
1. I will be stressed out
2. I will be uncomfortable
3. I won't be their priority
4. I won't feel confident
When did we decide this is an ok way to treat customers?
