I can't stare into the sun because it is nighttime in Dublin so instead I am staring into this Texans-Titans box score

If you’re wondering how Hegseth is gathering impressions about the military’s commanders around the world, here’s a glimpse: his former first sergeant from the 101st—the one who was accused of war crimes during Operation Iron Triangle in 2006—travels around as his “senior advisor” and reports back.

Did not have Gus Johnson with the US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart porn definition call on my bingo card but here we are.

ROK Again showing us how Democracies behave. The Ministry of Defense will award commendations to soldiers who did not carry out illegal or unjust orders during the December 3 Emergency Martial Law designating them as "individuals who protected constitutional values." www.chosun.com/english/nati...

And now for some something completely different.

I’m idling in a big city ER for a non emergency, it’s basically a UN of folks in here, everyone is being so kind and patient, it’s a good reminder that America is a place of incredible diversity where, with rare exceptions, people just want the best for each other.

And if that doesn't get everyone to stop talking about the Epstein files, inflation, and bad job numbers, there's always the option of starting a war with Venezuela

Probably a good day to recommend this @davidehoffman.bsky.social read:

Let me tell you a beautiful story about this couch. 🧵 IG msviciousdesign

Almost hit send on an email today with “oversite,” instead of “oversight.” Thank you, @ericmmurphy.bsky.social .

Could be worse.

That’s not how this works. 800+ reposts on a misleading statement.

Real post on another network:

Weekly I alternate between “I love college football and the community it brings. I will never cancel my season tickets,” and “this sport damages the brains of young athletes and we happily shut down philosophy departments to continue to field money-losing teams across the country. Pull the plug.”

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Fun fact: the “family office” (a private firm to manage ultra wealthy families’ money) of Bezos’ dad has recently undergone a rapid expansion because it is hard to know what to do with $40B just lying around. www.wsj.com/finance/mike...

Alien Earth: haven’t seen the season finale yet, but overall I think it is well done but I don’t love it. If it’s Hawley, I want to love it. The Lowdown: one episode in and it’s officially my jam. Only Murders: maybe not that good anymore but it’s comfort food at this point. #tvchat

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

At the risk of being millshake-ducked, I think we could use more Albertos in this world.

I have big hopes for “One Battle After Another.” Here @briantallerico.bsky.social reviews the film for @ebertvoices.bsky.social #filmsky www.rogerebert.com/reviews/one-...

I’m wearing to the Rapture the same thing I wore to that party on Fire Island.

Now 28 years older, Harrison Ford is still the right age to portray a president.

This is...incredible?????

Hey @jkass99.bsky.social your people are pretty friggin impressive, attacking across the entire Eurasian landmass to take those Cambodian ports.

Did not have IU boat racing Illinois on my Saturday bingo card. To be clear, I want them both to lose this game, but at some point I will have to admit Cignetti is really building something.

A. The Russians built Bagram. B. I don’t think the Taliban are scared of America. They defeated the US—and it was Trump who capitulated by signing a one-sided peace agreement that Biden carried out.

You don’t need credentials to cover the military. There are four Starbucks within walking distance of the Pentagon.

Russia continues to push the boundaries of frontline NATO states. Airspace violations are the latest. Where is NATO’s most important partner? @maxboot.bsky.social via CFR www.cfr.org/expert-brief...

here’s the clip of someone saying “you’re an idiot,” as Levi — one of RFK Jr’s handpicked vaccine advisers — suggests other scientists are being overconfident about vaccine safety data

You had a stressful day? Did you just get back from driving through a very large college campus on a Friday night, where every inch of road is an unmarked crosswalk for walkers, scooters, bikers, and joggers?

Not just a crisis for journalism but for civil-military relations: can't have civilian oversight if you don't have a free press (especially with this Pentagon).

It’s destabilizing to realize how fragile it always was.

Netflix's new miniseries, BLACK RABBIT, just pissed me off. A miserablist slog through eight hours of fuckups doing fuckup things, which Jude Law and Jason Bateman stumble thru in bad accents and bad haircuts, respectively. For @ebertvoices.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/blac...

IIRC, I was 1st alerted to this book by Seth Harp via a High Side post/email ( @seandnaylor.bsky.social @jackmurphyrgr.bsky.social ) and it is riveting. However, to casually drop the Wuhan lab leak theory with no context gives me pause on anything fact-dependent in this book.

I think I understand Tesla's market valuation now

Postcard launch via @tyrellmayfield.bsky.social from a bucket list state. I see more of this in your future.

This should have been”Analog,” “Asimov’s” splashed across the front. Beautiful throwback.

Every other CJ Stroud dropback looks like one of those scenes from The Last of Us where the zombies are climbing all over each other and smashing through walls when they sense human life
