At least we have a better piece of concept artwork for Long Beach compared to that probably AI generated garbage they used for their ‘ultimate surface combatant’.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

I continue to find it amazing that we went from a late 90s/aughts run of pretty amazing WW2 hagiography and barely a generation later people are publicly retconning f'ing Nazis

"Wants" of genocidal pedophile who invaded a few countries and massively persecutes his own population do not have to be considered.
Because it is obvious that he wants more genocide.
Obviously he doesn't want to be stopped in the process.

How and when exactly did a president acquire the authority to rule in all matters great and small by diktat?
Donald Trump just removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from the list of free entry days at national parks.
They are being replaced with Trump’s birthday.

There’s something doubly grating about the pious invocation of “Western civilization” by the sort of incurious dolt who wouldn’t know a Titian canvas, a Beethoven quartet, or a Socratic dialogue if whapped them upside the head.
It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

Is there a difference between shooting someone with a taser and filling their chest with a full magazine of 5.56?
If the US Coast Guard stops a ship in international waters and seizes their cocaine, is that a war crime? The ship has not done anything illegal. Should we prosecute the Coast Guard Captain for piracy?

i think that we should charge even people who have been pardoned, because there is no conceivable way the founders intended the pardon power to permit the executive to order people to commit crimes and then pardon them for them

The fundamental thing to understand about this administration is the president is a grumpy retiree. He has no interest in working anymore. Which leads to him being pissed that he is getting asked a question, pissed he has to show up and work, the scheming viziers running the show, etc..

Constellation was a relatively healthy program and progressing on a realistic budget and schedule, mostly baseless criticism of it notwithstanding.

I don't even have much to say. This was a good vessel, the USN panicked at the slightest hint of delays and now is killing the program. There has not been a single vessel in US Navy service that hasn't been redesigned, delayed, and had some cost overruns in the last 60~ years.
