I hope everybody’s prepared to share their earlier concerns about the Constitutionality of the US air strikes on the sovereign state of Yemen a month ago. You know, the Signal chat ones?

If Congress is in favor of these attacks, they should vote to authorize them. It’s that easy.

Bluesky posters, pre-attack: “How dare Trump ignore the assessment of the DNI that Iran has no near-term nuclear weapons?!” Also bluesky posters, post-attack: “Everybody prepare for nuclear war!”

People ascribe far too much power to both Elon Musk and AI. It's not like he's out there altering the contents of your hard drive. Or the Wikipedia article history you can view all the way back to 2003. Or the contents of your public library.

Whoa. Spicy footnote from Justice Jackson, dissenting in the ADA case. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Possibly the most “targeted specifically at my kid” game ever created?

It is 2003. 28 Days Later and Freaky Friday are in theaters. Everyone's upset because we don't want to go to war in the middle east. it's 2025. 28 Years Later and Freakier Friday are in theaters. Everyone's upset because we don't want to go to war in the middle east.

JENA, La. (AP) — Columbia University activist Mahmoud Khalil has been released from an immigration jail after 104 days in custody.

To Alaskans:

David R. Hagen just solved a small mystery that I mentioned 13 years ago in the mouseover text of a comic drhagen.com/blog/the-mis...

"In the name of human dignity and international law, I reiterate to those in positions of responsibility the frequent warning of Pope Francis: 'War is always a defeat!' And that of Pope Pius XII: 'Nothing is lost with peace. Everything may be lost with war.'" #PopeLeoXIV #PrayForPeace

Apparently, MAGA acolytes just wanted Trump to posture with all those fancy soldiers, not actually use them.
