If there was a college course called "Wicked Ideology," the waiting list to register for the class would be longer than Pete Hegseth's trail of drunken embarrassments.

VP Harris doing that robocall is just further exposing how little a lot of the people weighing in on Texas know about either candidate. She’s been a mentor to Rep. Crockett for a while & Jasmine was one of her campaign co-chairs in 2024. She was in the spin room on behalf of Walz for the VP debate.

By "wicked ideology," Hegseth means the ability to think.

This is from Hegseth's post. I'm no expert in this authority but am I understanding correctly this would mean that any company which has ANY contract with the U.S. military (Google, Microsoft, etc...) is now required to immediately cancel their Claude subscriptions and must divest from Anthropic?

Yes, look at what happened to tin fish (e.g.sardines), oxtails, and even chicken wings.
And that's just meat.
When demand soars for trad staples of modest income kitchens, prices soar, too.
Communities who pioneered the cooking of this food get shut out.

Liver's cheap because there's low demand for it. If everyone started eating it, it would become expensive. And even if everyone loved it, it's only recommended that you eat it once a week, or you risk vitamin A toxicity. Would be nice if the secretary of HEALTH knew that!

This is one of the dumbest things the AI cult has come up with. Calculators do math work. Everyone who does math-heavy jobs knows the real work is pulling the proper numbers together, checking and rechecking calculations/data. AI isn't capable of any of that.

Now that the Republicans have set a precedent of interrogating a First Lady about Jeffrey Epstein, I look forward to the deposing of Melania, who knows plenty.

DOJ keeps having to release dangerous criminals in MN bc they don't have lawyers to prosecute them, but they found time to supersede Don Lemon et al. (The superseding has not yet been unsealed; I suspect it attempts to show more evidence of conspiracy.)

You heard @daralind.bsky.social right; the government is saying that they may end up pausing work permits for asylum seekers for 173 years. That is not a typo. Read her piece!

/to be fair, that is also the far end of an estimate that is very unlikely to result in that length of time. But still!
