🎯 SEN. YARBRO: “Historically bad decision by Gov. Bill Lee to voluntarily sign up for whatever in the hell this is.”

I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with MTG 100%. And for the record, I’m not paid for any of my opinions. Never have been, never will be.

I kept thinking about all the former gamers directing deadly drones via console and the trans coders leading the cyber front and how irrelevant Hegseth’s ideas about warfare are in that regard. They want to create a military founded in nostalgia rather than grounded in reality.

The great Dr Jane Goodall, ethologist and campaigner for great apes and much else, has died at the age of 91. She loved this _Far Side_ cartoon, and wrote a forward for a later Gary Larson collection.

Cory Doctorow @pluralistic on #ai: > [T]he AI bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential, who are desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector, e.g. "pivot to video," crypto, blockchain […]

Not going to post a name without confirmation, but if the social media rumors of this Michigan church shooter are legit, this guy was former Army and a dedicated Trump voter. Reposted Newsmax, anti Ukraine funding, etc. Obviously fog of war stuff always applies.

In line with the Trump regime's renaming the Department Of Defense to the Department Of War, the Department of Justice is officially renamed the Department of Revenge.

The casual reader of this @nytimes.com hed and subhed will have no inkling whatsoever that Trump's "characterization" is wildly false and that it's a bad faith *pretext.* Time to get better at conveying the fundamentally pretextual nature of these authoritarian decrees already.

Too funny

Happening now in war ravaged Portland: the city's Parks and Recreation Department (the most subversive of all government entities, is giving away trees.

The President of the United States claims to have authorized the military to use lethal force on US citizens, and there’s not a single Republican who has the balls to tell him that’s both illegal and morally wrong.

Every cable news channel needs to sending their tv anchors to set up in downtown Portland and broadcast the shows live until the "war in Portland" is over like they do in other war zones in full war safety garb. And right now before Trump's troops starts nonsense since he has declared it a war […]

So why might Secretary Hegseth do such an extraordinary thing? Only four solutions to the puzzle come to mind. 1. He has some trivial thing to say and does not understand the risks. 2. He wishes to endanger the lives of the generals and admirals. 3. He will stage a purge, perhaps involving a […]

Don’t let this get by you

Just a bunch of powerful folks laughing heartily at the president’s racist comments about black congresswomen, including a threat to deport one of them, who is a U.S. citizen, all while he signs a corrupt order to break up a foreign company and give pieces of it to his biggest political donors.

Anyone with a copy of that memo should definitely send it to Chris but while you’re at it would a copy to me hurt? NO
