Today is International Day of Play. As Ingrid Skeels - @playingout.bsky.social - says below: "we have to make the outside world a place children can play in real life." Instead of debating road "closures", we should be opening our streets so more children can play on the streets where they live.

Candidly, as a civ-mil watcher, this scene at Bragg is freaking me out more than anything else that's happened so far. Just an absolute collapse of professional military norms.

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Obligatory reminder that Sen. Cassidy, in explaining his decision to vote to confirm RFK Jr., stated that RFK Jr. had committed that "[i]f confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes." This... is a change.

It is truly amazing how much Trump says “I have an unfettered right to rule” and how much the Constitution says “nobody has the right to rule; the people govern themselves” and nobody with any kind of platform or power points out the problem with this

The Ethicist | Our son's lacrosse team has a hazing ritual where they report one another's housekeepers to ICE. One teammate's housekeeper got deported to South Sudan as a result. His parents want restitution since they can no longer get cleaning services for $6/hour. Should we pay them?

Even before Trump 2.0, gov't researchers struggled to assess America’s vulnerability to extreme weather. With few realistic alternatives to critical research from NOAA, NASA, and other agencies, it won’t be insurers, but homeowners and renters, who pay the cost for the White House’s climate denial.

Keir Starmer and David Lammy must speak and condemn this interception. All humanitarian aid must be able to reach people desperately in need. The UK govt have been active participants in the genocide. The eyes of the world must be on Gaza. Release the Madleen crew.

The IDF has intercepted and kidnapped the Madleen because they didn't want it to deliver baby formula n other things like that to Palestinians who are experiencing starvation due to the Israeli government refusing to allow aid in. That's the story no matter how you window dress it.

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount. Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters. But they are PEACEFUL. ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

I think we’ve reached the point where it really doesn’t matter if it is ICE or Proud Boys. For these communities, they are all ICE, all Proud Boys, all KKK, all migra. Call them what want, the result & the behavior are the same.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.
