If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime. If the Venezuelan sailors werenāt enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder. Itās that simple.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

Since we aren't in a war, Pete Hegseth isn't technically a war criminal. He's just a garden-variety mass murderer.

Iām not so naĆÆve to think that AI will go away when the AI bubble bursts (after all the Internet didnāt go away when the dot com bubble burst). But it is really sad that such an unreliable, unethical, and massively polluting technology is embraced by so many.

He's clocked the fact that he may be charged with murder, or similar, in 3 years time, unless Trump issues him a pardon. He'd better not fall out with Trump in the meantime. So he really is Trump's bitch now, even if he wasn't before.

The X platform now has a new tool that promotes scrutiny about the origin of X accounts. I've noticed lately that more trolls are invading Bsky. This same feature that X has so members can check an account's country of origin would be super helpful to weed out the bad guys from causing harm here.

When Trump admin officials get asked why a certain sector of the economy is so bad, 90% of the time their answers begin with āwe inherited.ā Did everyone forget what Biden inherited in Jan 2021? Or what Obama inherited in Jan 2009? When are Republicans ever responsible?

According to Leviticus in the Old Testament, "If a man lies with another man as he lies with a woman he should be stoned." I'm uncertain if this is a prohibition of telling fibs to both men and women or an encouragement to get high before doing so.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a āterrorist supporting organizationā and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone. Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work. Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

If Donald Trump can dismiss the murder and dismemberment of an American journalist by saying "things happen. that guy was very controversial and a lot of people didn't like him." Then I should be able to say the same thing about that piece of shit Charlie Kirk.
