This is, to put mildly, a spine-chilling rationalization that is unacceptable and will lead to unfathomable abuses and tragedies. People need to stand up this bullshit and make it clear that we will not go down this road willingly.

Here’s an unctuous toady who has zero scruples around caring about what could have happened to troops due to the morons running national security and confuses luck with what her actual job is, which is making sure people don’t have to rely on luck to stay alive www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

We've made some user interface and experience improvements to The Desk, based on reader feedback. 1.) We've streamlined many of our e-mail newsletter sign-up modules by removing the requirement to fill in a first and last name. 2.) FEWER and SMALLER ADS! Because we know ads can be frustrating.

this week in stupid: "five-time international lap-hockey champion Lauren Boebert’s gotten herself into hot water again but this time it’s not for expertly beetlejuicing her boyfriend in public. Nope, this week Handy Oakley’s on the hook for doling out some good old Republican-style racism."

Going tomorrow to get the first of two MMR vaccine shots. I don’t remember having measles as a child. My parents have passed so I can’t ask them. I certainly don’t want to get it now. Recommended for international travelers.

Has anyone seen a lawsuit filed yet regarding the "clawback" Musk made of Congressionally appropriated funds from an aid recipient's Citibank account? When it occurred I worried that if he can do that to a Citibank account, he could do that to my bank account (to clawback social security, etc.).
