Early morning run to one store (cookies and pie) and one bakery (bread). All efficiently handled, but I do feel bad for the little older lady who was in front of me in the bakery line. She probably wasn’t 5’, and we exchanged nods, and she chatted away with the woman in front of her. 1/3

Thiel is crazier than a shithouse rat on crack.
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

The plaque says what it says.
The draft dodging idiot posted a pic of this West Point plaque. It contains these words:
“Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law.”
That is precisely what Senator Mark Kelly told officers to do. #NoSedition

I note that UVA football is favored by 11.5 points over Virginia Tech for this Saturday’s game.
I am a huge UVA fan, and I wouldn’t lay 11.5 points against Tech if their entire team had been replaced with the Radio City Rockettes.

The explanation is, “These are stupid people who have active disdain for expertise.”
Yesteady a colleague I hadn’t spoken to in a while, once a Reagan Republican, called me asking to explain why the Comey indictment had gone the way it did. He’s an ex-AUSA too. Why would they do it this way and not the right way, he was asking. There must be a strategic explanation.

Well, Senator, you could say, “He lied to me, and I shouldn’t have voted for him.”
Except, of course, it’s *not* all he can say.
Cassidy could concede publicly that confirming Kennedy was a tragic mistake. He could call for RFK Jr's resignation. He could schedule hearings, haul the secretary to Capitol Hill, and demand the CDC’s public resources reflect the scientific cannon.

TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?
CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.
