This clarified some basic law of war stuff fo me. Might be useful to others.
it is impossible to imagine any Pentagon lawyer blessing this action. The concept of hors de combat—literally, out of combat—is a fundamental aspect of the law of war that prevents harming those disabled from combat.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

If we don't privatise everything that the people own and award contracts to the company that donates the most to a political party then where do we expect politicians to make money from when their terms end

"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy."

- U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff

It's a 'perspective' not capable of negotiating for true U.S. interests.

From the files of my personal bugaboos:

This is the time of year that lotsa folks accidentally start fires with space heaters, especially ones with visible heating elements.

Please be freaking careful with those things. I've been through burned out apartments and houses and it's HORRIFIC.

Are the federal agents involved being charged with attempted murder? Sure seems like that should be the minimum they face here in any remotely lawful society.

Can’t begin to express how much I hate that these fools are actually suggesting they will destroy our current garbage system and replace it with the one thing worse.
My right side is absolutely killing me

You need an appendectomy

How much is that

Umm … $47,285

How much without the anesthesia

Ok we can do that for $36,210

I don’t think so

What’s it going to take to get you into this OR today

I’m going to shop around

@support.bsky.team I do not want to see photos of birds, users' amateur paintings, or users' anime drawings (quasi-pornographic or otherwise).

Every time one of these things comes up I click "show less of this" and often block the user.

And yet I see that shit every day in my feed.

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.
