I really wish they would stop pretending that they are anti DEI instead of simply being racists and misogynists.

Musk took over the US government with graft and is using it—in combination with his space launch firm—to exploit an allied country that’s suffering under Russian invasion for its mineral rights. The scheme is so imperiously evil I feel like audiences wouldn’t find it believable in a Bond villain.

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

At this point, it's only a matter of time before some disaster, natural or otherwise, hits this country and the idiot clowns picked by Trump will have no idea how to handle it and will have fired all the competent people who might be able to help. Have to wonder if MAGA will notice.

The Trump administration blocked key parts of the federal government’s apparatus for funding biomedical research, effectively halting progress on much of the country’s future work on illnesses like cancer and addiction despite a federal judge’s order to release grant money.

The Must Include seem to believe that AI can replace a large chunk of federal jobs. They don't say how that's going to work and apparently don't care.

I knew it was coming, but the news about the Joint Chiefs and the JAGs hits hard. We are so fucked. And up next will be the gutting of the FBI. It's all insanity.

None of this has anything to do with effectiveness, or “lethality,” or promoting “warfighters," or any other buzzwords. It is praetorianism, plain and simple, and it is an assault on our military and our democracy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

I'm sure the troops will be thrilled with a retired Lieutenant General from the Air National Guard as chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.
