As predicted. Food prices don't figure into inflation numbers but they directly affect voter attitudes. If they start raiding poultry & pork processors, half of them will have to shut down & meat prices will soar. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Books that make good movies usually aren't good books.

The best drone/shaped-charge armor would be a honeycomb cage of heavy-duty corrugated PVC. Slat armor just needs to detonate munition 6ins from main armor. Cheap, light & upgradable - so #DepartmentOfDefense will instead build something costing $500k per drone. militarnyi.com/en/news/germ...

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

BREAKING: In an epic trolling, California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office posted a video of Emperor Palpatine reciting Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about L.A. Let’s blast this to “space!”

Wasn't this the dick-wad who DEMANDED no remote-work or get fired of his workers? ______ finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-s...

Murder is a bit extreme. But I think castration should be considered little more than misdemeanor vandalisim in such cases.

Really. What commentary can you add beyond silent, slack-jawed disbelief.

While normally a fan of fiction, even outlandish fiction like this, I find this particular fiction author, while certainly prolific, rather dull as he lacks both imagination and craft, leading him to publish relentless repetition.

The new GOP logo should be a lemmings. Any artists willing to give it a shot?

There has to be a word for this somewhere. It's not Irony but something similar. nymag.com/intelligence...

What is the opposite of this? Of yeah. Trump. granta.com/skromnost-ja...

It happens every few generations: the Confederates who attempted succession in the 1860s; the robber barons who murdered union organizers and catapulted America into the Great Depression; and it’s why wages stagnated post-Reagan. The rise of greedy oligarchs. https://trib.al/pBnqQED

@atlbravesofficial.bsky.social reaching seller point. Ozuna worth 2 or 3 A+ prospects. Iglasias if anyone shows interest. Elder, Verdugo -sell high? Kelenic sell low? But not all selling. I'd buy Tovar from Rockies for long term SS. #Braves will spend big this offseason (Bullpen, LF)

Someone has to be keeping a list somewhere of all the cuts & NIH decisions, etc so 2 years we can match up disastrous outcomes with the administrations idiotic decisions. www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

@atlbravesofficial.bsky.social 80% likely to get Ezequiel Tovar from @rockies.com. Won't be cheap. Likely Ritchie or Hackenberg & 2 more from top 7-18 prospects. This is a solid long-term trade with immediate upside in leadoff spot. Bullpen a disaster with no fix in sight beyond Kimbrel & a prayer.

Defense journals are too sanguine re: Russian strength. I'll probably write a real life article on this. Right now, Russia has ~800 T80 tanks ~100 Armata & <1000 T72 with upgrades (most lacking good optics) Everything else OTHER than Gen 4 & 5 fighters is worse. en.defence-ua.com/industries/i...

Really? I thought that was apparent back in April. @sportsillustrated.bsky.social makes a mockery of intelligence, not just sports journalism.

Superficial comparison. NO, not really. US economy & dollars role in finance completely dissimilar. Main similarity is our political incompetence. Best comparison likely postwar UK. High debt with fixed payments, heavy public spending, declining industry. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Game, Set, &....... almost over. Zelensky out played Putin & in the end mineral deal will be good for Ukraine as it brings in US capital post-something. I wish Z. was our president. And he can be funny at times, too!

1 thing nobody in government, the press or anywhere else seems to grasp: There's a BIG difference in types of students! Graduate students arrive with best of class records, have temporary work permits & tend to STAY after graduation. America gets the world's best & brightest, supercharging our
