Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

Sam Nordquist was a Black trans man who was murdered by 5 white cis people in such brutal fashion that a cop on the case called it “the most depraved crime I’ve seen in 20 years.” By stripping Sam of his identity, the NYT violates his memory and perpetuates a culture of racist, anti-trans violence.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The oldest trick in the book is to paint any public agency spending that one doesn’t personally agree with or understand as “waste” or “fraud”. I see this constantly in public education, notably NOT the industry/sector known for “three martini lunches”.

A shitload of Warhammer 40k games dropped over the last decade or so and I'm not a fan so I wasn't paying attention, but with zen games like Powerwash Simulator etc hitting, I feel like there should be a game about painting Warhammer miniatures. Could do online trading. Pokémon for wardads.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

In 1922 Alfred Stieglitz made a series of photographs of cloudy skies, calling them Equivalents because they matched an emotion or mood he was feeling. This is my Equivalent for today.

I’m a father to a 17-year-old son. Literally his entire life, I have been saying “I’ve loved all of his ages… but this one is particularly fun.” I’ve meant it every time. I’ve truly loved all of his ages… …but this one is particularly fun.
