Potentially divisive in the sense of dividing the Nazis from the non-Nazis?
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

I also wrote the PR apology post that would have appeared on the Weyland-Yutani corporate blog after the Nostromo blew up because I obviously have nothing better to do with my time. williammoss.substack.com/p/in-space-n...

I enjoyed Alien: Earth, but the cyberpunk megacorporations and their supervillain bosses were boring. I have more fun imagining what the Alien story would be like if Weyland-Yutani were a realistic corporation, screwed up in all the normal corporate ways. williammoss.substack.com/p/in-space-n...

As I am in Taiwan again, something I will never stop loving about the Chinese speaking world is that there will be some guy whose whole operation is a cart and a wok and his shingle will be, like, 鸭胗皇帝, “emperor of duck gizzard.”

Well, the political news is bad, the Niners got their asses handed to them on a plate by *the Rams* and it's a stormy Monday morning where I am, so I feel like I am entitled to go back to bed.

Imagine 22 hours nonstop in steerage. I fly to Singapore 16 hours nonstop from SF once a year or so and that already feels like flying to the moon.

New Rhyming Chaos podcast in which I interview CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward on reporting from a capital city as a horde of religious extremists take over—and I'm not talking about Washington D.C.!
How does a city feel when it's invaded by an occupying army?
Clarissa Ward has reported for CNN on many of the major wars of the last decade. She talks about entering Kabul as it fell to the Taliban, Syria, Ukraine, and more.

Burned that I had to spend last night on a plane and instead of falling back and getting an extra hour of sleep I had to spring forward 16 hours and will be a turnip all day.

When we were kids if you had given us a potato we would have burned your house down. But the ‘70s were like that.
Gemma Keith hopes to collect a potato or two this Halloween. She got one last year and considered it the find of the night.

What appears to have started as a joke has spread, with the potato prized as a treat over even full-size candy bars.

Always enjoy when there is a "click to expand story" button a few grafs down in an article and it reveals like two more sentences.
