Yes, that is a nice bonus.
There’s the obvious SIGINT applications, but does he recall the last set of custom pagers Israeli intelligence introduced?

I mean, we have been subjected to so much lazy writing, so it fits.

This is true if you are engaging with reality but the decision-makers are not.
The answer will be that woke officers trained by the woke war colleges weren't willing to bomb enough Iranian girl's schools to force them to surrender because woke.
It is not bombing the dams in Vietnam all over again.

Power is the problem wherever it concentrates.
In 1934, Henry Simons warned that no leader, party, or monopoly can be trusted with too much of it.

Mega thread on who is behind these age verification laws, spoiler alert it’s Meta.
Loathing for the IRGC regime does not make it necessary to celebrate the disastrous strategic vandalism pursued by Trump and Netanyahu.
Loathing for the Trump cartel does not make it necessary to embrace the delusional echo chambers of IRGC cheerleaders.
FFS come on people.
Horrific. Georgia police charged a woman with murder after she allegedly used misoprostol. Hospital may have reported her.
@pregnancyjust.bsky.social calls it “an unprecedented murder charge for an alleged abortion, even though no law in the state of Georgia permits such a charge." bit.ly/46W2Ezb
It's even worse when you recall that the austerity paper that pretty much everyone relied on was wrong because of an incorrect formula in an excel spreadsheet, and that sometimes in practice it also didn't result in cost cutting/lower debt at all, just poorer use of gov funds.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?
Lawyer: You don't regret that people might have lost income?
Cavanaugh (DOGE): No, I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from two trillion dollars to close to zero.
Lawyer: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
Cavanaugh: No, we didn't.

🚨 The Trump admin just gave VA lawyers power to initiate FORCED GUARDIANSHIP over homeless veterans — stripping them of legal autonomy and forcing them into institutions. Nearly 33,000 veterans are unhoused in America. This is despicable.

In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.
The grid is still useful though.
I think a lot about a post by someone who ran a hobby shop of some form (forget if it was a comic shop or Warhammer store or what) that basically said putting up a little rainbow flag sticker on the door was the best business decision they made because they served as That Guy repellants.
Distracting from Epstein the Right Way
i'm sorry this story from @taygoldenstein.bsky.social is one of the funniest things i've ever read. guy gets towed at SXSW, can't pay his debt to the towing company so he gets a job there, stays for a decade, runs for office, spends no money, wins primary: www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politic...
Jus ad bellum - the law under which a state may justifiably resort to war - is regarded as distinct from jus in bello - the laws of armed conflict, how they are fought, like the Geneva Conventions. Here’s a useful article on the Iranian ship issue.

“She’s not muslim” is an accusation that needs a response?
Buried bodies near a NM ranch? New evidence that Epstein may have been murdered? The bolstering of Trump's teen-sex accuser? The Epstein Files have gone wild, and there's one thing we can say for sure
Federal authorities are tied to a massive coverup
My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...
there’s a structural reason here. mamdani’s response was to take an opportunity to make content - and therefore give the rest of the media some easy meta-content - and turn it down. he put governing ahead of content. our political media hates nothing more than someone who denies them easy content.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
This is hilarious.
Also, completely enraging.
if I had a nickel for every time someone got in deep shit with a judge for having an LLM fabricate legal citations, I’d… well I’m starting to think I might rack up some real money here
Isn’t two-eyes generally just one person?
Which might actually have caught this, because this appears to be a case of no one actually reviewing it.
For true robustness you need a four-eyes system: one nerd, or two non-nerds.
