If only we could hear it!

What an atrocity this administration is - a confederacy of dunces and confabulists.

"Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?"

Among the most profound two minutes of any film ever. I explore the philosophical implications for a solid week and not exhaust the subject. Those who want a "Saving Private Ryan" may not appreciate this film, but I believe that is their loss. youtu.be/p_5AVdDUivw?...

Extraordinary and underrated movie, overshadowed by SPR (extraordinary in its own right).

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:

Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Secretary Hegseth never misses an opportunity to act disgracefully.

Just want to reiterate that the former co-host of the weekend version of Fox News' morning talk show is now the man in charge of our national defense and leading this war.

I think the Framers were wise to require the executive to go to Congress and lay out its reasons for war and obtain consent. Not only to stop wars that might be misguided, but to solidify public support for wars that are necessary.

‘Keep bombing people until they stop talking about the Epstein Files’ is the main plank of U.S Foreign Policy in 2026.

The truth is not the average of a fact and a lie.

This is a post made to me a few days ago on X. This isn’t personal, but it’s worse than personal: it expresses hatred of all women. This not an isolated one-off. Believe me. I’m posting this to let you know that men who hate women and want to control them are getting louder.

If you fear that AI will increasingly do our thinking for us and thereby deprive us of the capacity to reason, analyze, and create, the best thing you can do to forestall that in your own life is to read good books closely, often, and joyfully.

Hey, what a vile thing to think.

Bold, brave and unraced, the F1 cars that never made it to the grid From the Williams six-wheeler banned before it could race to the Honda that died with its designer, these are the Formula 1 cars that were tested but never made their competitive debut

They were built to race but never made it to the grid.
These are the bold and brave #F1 cars whose testing pace gave us a glimpse of what might have been

Despite what we “know,” it may be that it’s the evidence, not the type of crime, that’s not enough, and that at this point the financial evidence is a clearer evidentiary path to act now given the burden of proof in a criminal case. Time will tell.

If the US had a Congress, it would be raising hell over the president ignoring Congress’s war powers and preparing to start another Middle East war without authorization or even debate.

Except the Republican majority doesn’t want the US to have a Congress, so it effectively doesn’t.

We cooked.

The stupidest and most fearful way to run a professional military.

If you take a step back it's really quite incredible what Ukrainians have achieved

Amen to that.
