Another sign of how different a world we're living in right now compared to two decades ago, the US president is deciding whether to launch a major war of choice against a country that has not attacked the US, and there is not even a mention of going to the UNSC to get an authorizing resolution. 1/

Helicopters. Armed troops wearing masks. All for a freaking military-grade raid at a flea market that appears to have resulted in two measly arrests. DHS and ICE are out of control. ktla.com/news/local-n...

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

And also this. “You can make us be here but you can’t make us like it.” Which, fair enough.

Speaking as a veteran, the drill and ceremony here looks quite sloppy. Looks to me more like a base change of command parade than something put on for the commander in chief.

just a reminder that only water goes in your eyes, don’t wear contacts to a protest if you can help it, hot showers will hurt like hell if you have mace or gas residue on your skin. turn off face ID on your phone. pick a buddy & never leave their side. if detained, ask for a lawyer & then shut up.

Deep Blue is 30 years old and was capable of defeating chess grand champions. It could be housed in a single cabinet. ChatGPT spans untold data centers devouring massive amounts of electricity and it got its ass whipped by an 8 bit gaming console from the 1970s.

They are going to insist that this is a road safety initiative. It isn't. It's a dragnet on commercial delivery cyclists. Because road safety would require addressing the cause of road deaths: motor vehicles. Someone ask Tisch what percentage of pedestrians died from e-bike collisions.

I cannot stress enough, this is Trump making your kids tuition at any institution more expensive by scaring away international students who pay full-freight and thus subsidize US students' tuition. That's how Dems should attack: Trump wants college to be more expensive. Trump take college.

I’m seeing a lot of people talk about some plantation that burned down. But remember, liberals LOVE plantations because, by geographically focusing the evil, they can feel good by simply not being there. In reality, while you are in America, you can never be anywhere but the plantation.

So here’s the deal, and I’m gonna use a One Piece analogy because I’m a jocknerd. You don’t rise up and fight against Kaido and the World Government because you know you’re going to win. You do it because it’s the right thing to do.

I will say, I know a lot of devs who made good choices like this to take care of their users, quietly doing the right thing. I wish more people knew how often some programmer made a thoughtful decision to protect their interests that they never knew about.

The legal challenge asks a federal judge to issue an injunction against the NYPD and make the city pay damages to any cyclists wrongfully ticketed, detained or arrested for going with the leading pedestrian interval, or LPI, a law that has been on the books since 2019.

Republicans don’t want more “parents” at home. They want women at home, out of the public sphere, economically dependent on men for their whole lives— permanently relegated to second class citizens. Fixed it for you, NYT.

Hanlon's Razor demands that we explain Trump's tariff "policy" and subsequent blink as mere incompetence. Grey's Law suggests that sufficiently advanced incompetence, being indistinguishable from malice, could be weaponized. Both can be true simultaneously.

But today he's the one "constantly on the phone" and paying attention to the India-Pakistan crisis. Should we be reassured? Absolutely not. 1/
