This is all true but
1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law
2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up
The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

in October, the rationalist San Francisco substack world got into a big tiff about the Sun Miracle of Fatima, with half of the big name rationalist bloggers deciding that maybe God really did do it. Really fascinating stuff

This week Trump's ICE fascists illegally kidnapped & deported a 19-year-old girl to Honduras despite a court order to keep her in the USA—while Trump himself pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, convicted of running Honduras "like a narco-state" & accepted millions in bribes from drug traffickers. smh.

Sure, Frank’s Spurs are a disaster at back. But at least they generate absolutely nothing in the attack.
HT: .07 xG and 0% cross accuracy. Perhaps try putting the ball on the fucking grass and passing it to feet fewer than 30 yards at a time.

This is so frustrating to me because we won a European trophy this calendar year and all the joy from that feels like it’s been sucked away and diminished. Media spinning the same narratives and we look like shit. It could have been a turning point to build off of. Instead, this.

"I'm canceled," he says in the sleek profile they gave to him in the New Yorker while his latest special & his new novel is coming out. A lot of people wish they were that canceled.
Louis CK is not in a limbo of cancellation. He's straight up not cancelled & his "cancellation" became a profitable bit for him.

This is obviously disqualifying information if true. I’m sure Nuzzi will continue to find work, but anyone who gives it to her should be immediately branded as “not journalism.”

I think we can safely say that the Leavitt's brother called ICE on his ex, the mother of his child, and I have to say: I have no desire to respect, find common ground or share the country with these monsters.
“After Ferreira was detained, Dos Santos Rodrigues said Michael Leavitt Sr. and his father, Bob Leavitt, reached out to her.”
“‘They just kept saying, ‘Tell her to self-deport,’” she recalled. “Self-deport to where? Brazil is not her home.’” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/26/m...

‘Brazil is not her home.’ Mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, brought to US as child, detained by ICE. - The Boston Globe
Bruna Ferreira, 33, was brought to the United States as a child in 1998. She is now in removal proceedings in Louisiana.

I would decline to voluntarily cooperate. No way. Issue a subpoena and fight it out in court.

there is zero chance the Yankees failed to turn a profit in any year, but especially in 2025 when they were coming off a World Series appearance. If an MLB owner says he lost money, that's like me saying I can fly. You should insist on proof.
(I can't fly, just so no one asks me to demonstrate.)

NEW: Following our @us.theguardian.com investigation, Major League Soccer is reopening its own investigation into Philadelphia Union sporting director Ernst Tanner.
The club says Tanner has since been placed on leave.
