Kind of puts the waves of outrage at trading away Devers and not adding more all star free agents to the roster in perspective!

the USA built a system of higher education so good that smart/rich people from across the world came here, spending billions to learn here, subsidizing education for Americans while spending money to live in our cities and towns. our government arbitrarily decided we should stop doing that

Usually when there's a crash involving an osprey that leads to mass destruction it's a V-22

Then last week, he told a podcaster that he's looking at paying upwards of $600k because of tariffs. The reason?

He imports equipment and steel to make those knives. Even if you make the machines in the United States, you will pay more.

Many people don't realize how much they import.

Batch 3 of blackberry wine: initiated

Experienced at “negging” people I try my hand at influencing the judge who’s about to determine whether I am sentenced to life in prison or a violent and painful death

The Merrimack is a proud CSA ship that underlines America’s proud traditions in shipbuilding and maintenance

School nerds increasingly worried that local man may not, despite his claims, be the wallet inspector

Depending on any technology like this is folly itself

It’s gotten too confusing. Need a new superhero franchise that is willing to begin its storytelling project with “in this universe, this is the only universe. There aren’t others. It’s not that they’re inaccessible, it’s that they don’t exist. Now here’s a guy with giant purple muscles who can fly”

All joking aside what's happening here is as anti-American as it gets

You say "marxist" I immediately envision a Texas rancher, his skin ruddy (red? Marxist??) from years in the sun

Trump’s Border Wall Is Back—and So Is His Fight With Texas Landowners Efforts to build wall are more expensive than in the president’s first term, with $46 billion in new funding

So sick of these woke DEI marxist Texas ranchers and rural landowners

The Osaka Museum of Housing and Living, which is located on the top floor of the Osaka Municipal Housing Information Center and includes a life-sized reproduction of an Edo-era Osaka neighborhood.

Neoliberalism is to the far left what the epidemic of violent gang violence in big cities is to the far right

Reading restrainer lit on Ukraine/Taiwan is like:

The Secretary of the Navy has a background in shipbuilding, so it should come as no surprise that his top priority right now, with the condition of Naval shipbuilding and ship repair flashing red, is... micromanaging who teaches at the Naval Academy and what books it has in its library???

Standing in front of a dilapidated and rusting aircraft carrier that’s barely seaworthy, flexing my giant muscles while screaming “we will defeat our enemies” over and over

I am once again asking you to appreciate how wildly dirt-cheap solar panels now are*. Cheaper than siding, cheaper than shingles, cheaper than fence slats, almost as cheap as the sand their silicon comes from.

*Or can be, anyway! Most US states still don't allow the DIY plug-in solar shown below.

Fixing stuff is marxist and woke dei

Getting rid of the M10 Booker < Putting wheels on our submarines and calling them supertanks

Can't sink our navy if it's all out of the water. That's 5D chess

U.S. Navy Ships Are Languishing in Repair Yards A young submariner’s death has highlighted the Navy’s struggles to maintain its fleet.

Lethally and masculinely making the military more powerful the way a warrior would by... putting the navy in drydock forever

Trump’s ‘Slap in the Face’ Puts Neutral Switzerland in Trade-War Crossfire Swiss officials and business leaders reacted with shock and confusion after the president’s executive order imposing a 39% tariff—a higher rate than all but three nations. The reason for it? A skyrock...

Don't see this working out well for us

A Steep Mountain Drive, a Brake Failure and a Volvo Recall A longtime Volvo fan’s terrifying ordeal prompted warnings from regulators and heightened scrutiny of software patches for electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids.

Great story until you get to the very end, at which point you learn that the guy has given up on Volvo and is considering transitioning to Tesla, calling his judgement into question

These VOA newscasters and reporters were given visas because there weren't experienced broadcast journalists in the US with native level skills in such languages as Bambara, Lao or Georgian. But since Kari Lake wiped out nearly all VOA's 48 language services there are indeed no jobs for them now.

A Fight Over a West Point Job Reveals Two Visions of America Under Trump

Jen Easterly’s rise in elite policy circles over three decades and her sudden fall at the hands of Laura Loomer tell the story of how Washington is changing during President Trump’s second term and why it might never be the same.

"Since the first messenger who told Tigranes that Lucullus was coming had his head cut off for his pains, no one else would tell him anything, and so he sat in ignorance while the fires of war were blazing around him, giving ear only to those who flattered him."

Tony Blair thinktank worked with project developing ‘Trump Riviera’ Gaza plan Staff at former UK PM’s institute took part in calls as proposal led by US consulting firm and Israeli business people evolved

Yes, that’s the same Tony Blair Institute who’s been working with Trump on the Gaza Riviera.

It is incomprehensible that anything this organisation is doing gets a free pass in the UK press let alone front page treatment
