Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...

Musk installed Starlink satellite internet at the White House without notifying cybersecurity officials, the WaPo reports. SpaceX engineers accessed the Eisenhower Building roof without Secret Service clearance. Starlink bypasses official monitoring systems, creating major security risks.

Every single video I see of ICE agents is progressively the most cowardly shit I've ever seen in my life. They might as well commit to the bit and start handcuffing babies.

Worth noting: ICE is conducting these prominent mass detention operations in urban settings in states like California and Illinois and apparently leaving the low-hanging fruit of major agricultural centers in places like Texas and South Dakota (home of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem) largely untouched.

Wellman: When I served in Iraq.. I heard about how Saddam Hussein divided them. Different sects fought each other. But you know -- Saddam and his family sat laughing at all of them. They divided them against each other and kept their power for 35 years. Does this sound familiar to anybody?

Blood libel is the classic antisemitic monstrously false claim that Jews use the blood of Christian children, and has been an excuse for pogroms and persecution for more than a thousand years. Cynical, dishonest, and dishonorable people try to redefine it as “criticizing Israel’s policies.”

I've long been a believer that the DOD leaned into the "the government is hiding aliens" conspiracies because they provided convenient cover for experimental aircraft tests, but really cool to see someone come up with receipts and even accounts of the DOD themselves seeding conspiracy theories.

🔴 Breaking | On the first day of Eid al-Adha, while children elsewhere celebrate, Gaza’s children are pulled from rubble—if found at all. Ambulances made it to the north, but they can’t reach the bodies. No tools. No help. Just silence. This is not how Eid should look.

Some people condemn professional trolls who share child sexual abuse material. We prefer to take a vaguely amused, aloof stance that treats them as “characters” and denotes our contempt for people with beliefs or values. Tomorrow in the NYT.

I seem to be of the minority opinion that it's bad for our historical understanding when people use "blood libel" to mean "well-documented exposé reporting on actions committed by the Israeli military."

Some bad things really are just directly downstream of the American public having voted, and there are legitimate policy consequences for that. Sometimes they can Just Do That because they won. I'm not playing this election denial thing. Winning is really fucking important.

And thanks to a generation of reactionary centrists, feckless Dems, autocratic GOPers, and a TV culture of non-stop crime shows and bleeds-it-leads news, we spent TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of declining and low crime rates building out that police-state style police system at EVERY level of government.

NEW: A senior Ukrainian official reported that the Russian military intends to seize half of Ukraine by the end of 2026. Russia is highly unlikely to make such large advances in that narrow time frame given its current offensive capabilities & assuming aid to Ukraine continues. isw.pub/UkrWar060625
