Silverman on Security

It’s going to be a huge problem.

And it’s in some ways worse because a lot of the “pipeline“ of one stars have left voluntarily. On the civilian side I saw a lot of SESs abruptly announce their retirements. Now, with a new evaluation system in place that is basically a loyalty test, I would expect the departures to accelerate

I’m guessing there was an additional ‘may you all burn in your respective Hells’ but editorial took it out.

This book has the most scathing dedication by an illustrator I have ever seen (and he is completely right)

I think it was that despite his age Wolverine had no issues whatsoever in backing Rogue as she took charge & supporting her as the team leader.

🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve been the senior advisor to 6 generals, 1 admiral, & have taught/supervised another 10 during their senior leader college year. They said it because it’s an accurate statement. Monocultures create strategic, operational, & tactical problems that lead to failure. Failure means unnecessary death.

Throughout this clip, Rep. Steil says over and over again that masking wouldn't be necessary if local governments cooperated with ICE. But that's nonsense. ICE is masking even in red states, even in places where there are 287(g) agreements, and even hiding their faces in photos taken at prisons!

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Crockett: "All this administration cares about is protecting the powerful and protecting pedophiles. They will do anything to distract from that, including deciding to put up in the middle of Black History Month the most racist thing that we've ever seen come out of a White House."

I’m pretty sure it is.

Yes. For those covering Springfield Ohio and team Trump’s obsessions with terrorizing it these days, DHS is being tied up in court, but if you’re checking in with your people there today, you’ll see the climate of fear and confusion is already having an effect on residents, Haitian and otherwise

Springfield City Schools students sent home early due to safety concerns All Springfield City School District students are being dismissed early Monday morning due to safety concerns in the district.

I spent yesterday reaching out to "creators" — purportedly liberal — about misinformation in their content related to Springfield and its potential impact on community safety. Springfield just closed its schools as of 10:30 today due to safety concerns.

This is why they're mad. They'll never make anything as beautiful as that halftime show, because they lack all creativity and skill.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind.

This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine.

Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

honestly at this point I wouldn't trust Bernie to recommend me a sandwich place.

Gabbard's deployment was to Kuwait to support detainee ops. Unless there's something classified, she never made it into Iraq. Her life was never on the line.

fellow engineers,

you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something:

1. how will the police use what i'm making?
2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against?
3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?

From the bestskeeting author of the Bluesky-famous six-week Bad Bunny 101 comes this essential close reading of the halftime show! 🧵

Absolutely amazing breakdown of the context and nuances of Bad Bunny's half-time show.

The thing they hate isn't that a Spanish homage to pan-Americanism, or likewise a show centered on black culture last year, isn't that it's somehow foreign. They hate that it highlights how not foreign it is, it's deeply embedded and immediately culturally legible to Americans as part of our story.
