Damn they didn’t even hesitate to throw his ass under the bus huh?
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?
LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

The official United States government response to this is to work with Russia to cook up a plan for Ukraine to surrender its land and weapons.
Alliance, friendship, hope, and trust, rewarded with senseless, evil betrayal.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage.

There are many reasons we don’t let drug warriors play judge, jury, and executioner — like killing innocent civilians. No doubt Hegseth would have cheered this shoot down of a suspected drug flight over Peru in 2001. Whoops, it turned out to be US missionary Veronica Bowers & infant daughter.

at last we have an answer as to the question of whether a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich
Federal prosecutors on Tuesday were unable to secure a felony assault indictment against a man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent on the streets of Washington this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Cleaned out some bedroom air filters. Yuck. I forget to do it so there's so much clumped up, but that just reinforces why I'm glad it's caught in the filter and not my lungs.

Intent is not the same as outcome and it's a hard lesson to find out. You can pour tons of time, effort and love into a fresh-cooked meal and have it still taste bad. Recognize the effort, but don't force people to eat something that came out bitter.

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

Wow, Ken just went up in my estimation.
This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.

Taking a GenAI training course on Amazon, and I have to say like I'm getting the accurate experience: the sample code in their Jupyter notebook keeps crashing from throttling exceptions.
Now I'm adding time.sleep() calls of increasing length like if I was writing my first threaded C program 😆
