I have a secret to tell Marc: The reason for being a moral, decent, good person is not so that people like you and stop criticizing you. In fact, you're right, they won't. You do it anyway.

in the meantime a lot of the countries are gonna get the short end of perennially housing US military assets bc the Trump admin has no plan and no sense of responsibility

1 in 3 voters in Jasmine Crockett's home county of Dallas turn up to vote, and are turned away?🤡

Then the news talks about the issue in Dallas (pop 2.7M) and Williamson (pop 800K) as if they are the same?🤡

And they extend voting hours in both places, knowing that poor people are impacted more.🤡

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

@nanami.codes i think of this every time i have to change grafana configuration in every way. it is burned into my brain forever

'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

Trump helps MAGA influencers flee Middle East war zone on private jet Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz, dogwalker Sarah Daither, former lobbyist Jay Footlik, and others managed to escape on a private plane thanks to the White House.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

Trump Labor Secretary Caught Using Govt Funds for Her Birthday Party The birthday party was “renamed” in order to avoid greater scrutiny about using public funds.

Man, remember when someone would resign in shame for shit like this. Sure, they might end up with some sweet media gig, but at least they weren't running the joint. newrepublic.com/post/207234/...

No worries, I still don't know the Air Force rank structure (Army myself, so this was easy 😊)

Knuth is a real one in many ways (these are screenshots from his homepage)

Command Sergeant Major

meanwhile not even a SINGLE standalone story on the main page of the NYT website right now about the deaths of the six soldiers--or the fact that Trump has made it very clear, he is indifferent to any military deaths.
impossible standard for Biden. no standard for Trump

They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

Could the press please, finally, learn this lesson:

Everything these people said about Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, starting new wars—all of it—was false. Not because they meant the opposite, but because they're post-truth and say whatever they think gets them an advantage in the moment.

Man, just straight up theft.

What happens to Square / Block Android OSS projects post layoffs?

Let's start with some context

OSS at Square is mostly a happy accident. Jack hired Bob, who's job was attracking world class engineers, and he did that through talks & OSS.

lol.. she really doesn't get it

these laws are a political project by which the state attempts to assume the power to decide sex and gender, power it does not have—and power it will express “incorrectly” because that’s power, too

Military officials question fortifications at site where U.S. troops were killed in Iranian strike The first American service members to die in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran were killed in an apparent Iranian drone attack on a makeshift office space in Kuwait, sources told CBS News.

On the 6 US troops who died at Shuaiba port in Kuwait: Troops asked for more drone defeat capabilities, none came. It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-st...

Israel simply does not have the power to force the US government to do something it does not want to do. What Rubio is doing here, by claiming Israel forced the US hand, is making Israel the scapegoat for a US policy he knows is unpopular. This framing is going to be so bad for Diaspora Jews.

#he-man

The irrational strongman we’ve been warned about is here His name is Donald J. Trump.

"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it."

other than trump tuberville has to be the dumbest US politician of all time

ya but you gotta understand he meant that as a compliment

What can you even say? These people deserve their inevitable humiliation and the nation deserves journalists with more self-respect.

LFG

The US has fewer counterintelligence officers who have experience with Iran because a few years ago those US officers did their jobs properly and assisted with a judge-signed search warrant regarding a criminal theft of US defense secrets, which the search found a lot of evidence of.

Seriously.

eric boehlert, lapdogs

my former colleague, the late great eric boehlert, wrote a book about the slavish treatment the media gave to george w bush, particularly on iraq. eric's book was called "lapdogs."

this is what eric was talking about.

fucking brilliant work, guys. what an accomplishment, you took out the IRGCAF's gate guards. you are winner.

we're throwing away a year's production of precision-guided munitions to vaporize a bunch of broke-dick museum pieces which probably haven't seen so much as a taxi test this millennium.
