Sooner or later, the costs of disinvesting in state capacity become apparent. If you put more money into bombing places you need foreign service capacity more, not less

Eventually, this will be the focus of a war crimes tribunal

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

As the top Democrat on the Interior subcommittee, I’m pursuing every option to push back.

These places—the history, the facts, the stories—belong to all of us. NO president gets to unilaterally decide how that information is conveyed, or intentionally twist the truth to fit some toxic worldview.

Platner gives the GOP the chance to make arguments like this *honestly*, which is a fucking disaster. You don’t want to give them the ability to say “that guy’s a Nazi” and not mean one of *them*.

Platner sat for lengthy interview with antisemitic conspiracy theorist, said he was ‘longtime fan’ of his show Weeks before Graham Platner promoted an antisemitic conspiracy theorist in a now-deleted social media post on Thursday, the controversial Maine Senate candidate appeared on a popular YouTube show whos...

It just doesn’t stop with Platner. Lying about a Nazi tattoo; dogwhistling Protocols of Elders of Zion; retweeting a Holocaust denier; and now this. Dont tell me this is converting MAGA. It is MAGA. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Ongoing “lol” at every entity that cuts a lopsided deal with this guy rather than telling him to fuck off

You can't analyse this stuff. It's the foreign policy equivalent of free jazz.

What Emergency Managers Say They Need More Than Ever We heard from more than 40 current and former emergency managers in 11 states about what they need to prepare for the next disaster — and what they aren’t getting.

Emergency Managers: Help ProPublica Prepare to Report on the Next Disaster If you are a part of the network of disaster response and recovery partners, we need your help to build a comprehensive picture of the real conditions across the country.

Now we are building a source network to fuel in-depth coverage of the nation’s emergency preparedness, disaster response and recovery infrastructure.

Emergency managers: Fill out the form below to help @propublica.org prepare to report on the next disaster.

A digital illustration of a black crowned night heron in profile looking right, with a prominent bright red eye making them look especially expectant. Standing on a rock with green river-like swirly colors behind. The drawing is framed by a simple line, and under the frame lettering reads, 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

Third, the stability of the region is of the utmost importance.

The only lasting resolution is a diplomatic one.

This means a credible transition for Iran which includes the halt to both the nuclear and ballistic programmes, as well as an end to destabilising action in the region.

Even by cult standards, this is just bonkers.

A titan of vaccine development sees his field’s achievements slip away Stanley Plotkin, the 93-year-old "godfather of vaccines," is watching his field’s achievements slip away.

“In a pair of recent interviews with STAT, Plotkin expressed dismay at seeing the achievements of his career & his field slip away. He knows what lies ahead…
“All I can say is that I’m beginning to regret having lived so long —because we’re going downhill,” Plotkin said” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social

2 colors of earth plaster, sponge finish

This is just earth and a sponge from your kitchen sink, keep this in mind next time you tell someone how expensive better construction is.
In a straw house this could be your low tech high performance fossil free air tightness and vapor barrier layer, directly plasterd on straw.

4/n We explored the 3D regulatory landscape of mammalian #sexdetermination in vivo, combining FACS sorting and low-input Hi-C.

Focusing on the cell lineage initiating this process: bipotential supporting cells that differentiate into granulosa (XX) or Sertoli (XY), in mice.

3/n Mammalian #sexdetermination is directed by the gonad, which can differentiate into ovary or testis.

This depends on the presence or absence of a Y chromosome and the SRY gene.

Sex-determining signals induce a physical and behavioral transformation of the entire organism.

I just learned that Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Khomenei are not the same person. Here's my plan for regime change in Iran....(1/23)

But reason can also make progress, through the civility of rationality.

“It is unclear who Trump will tap to lead the agency on a permanent basis—Dr. Heidi Overton, who helps lead his Domestic Policy Council, already turned down the job, according to people familiar with the matter.”

Once again, an American President is sending brave Americans to fight and bleed in a Middle East regime change war. Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is ordering other people’s kids to risk their lives in an unauthorized war the Congress and the American people have not approved.

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

This was Ike as President (his first major speech, in fact), but just gonna say: Eisenhower not beating the allegations of being the United States' greatest general on this one.

Fitting that we got one verifiable Military Genius and he was the Divine Spirit of Logistics and Diplomacy guy.

At what point do we start recommending that people cut themselves off from all online political videos and podcasts as a source of political information?

Richard Hanania tweet: Has any theory in international relations been more discredited than blowback? It turns out you can just kill bad people and everything is fine.

I swear these people don't have object permanence
