And I read insurers have withdrawn coverage of ships going through the strait. Let's see what THEY have to say about Trump's promise.

Yup.

Rough calcs...

The vessel plus cargo was likely valued at as much as $300,000,000

China unlikely to have paids for the cargo, so total loss to Russia.

Newsom likens Israel to ‘apartheid state,’ questions future military support The California governor’s comments came as he promoted his new memoir in Los Angeles.

POLITICO confirms previous post:

Gavin Newsom likened Israel on Tuesday to an “apartheid state” and said its leadership has left the United States no choice but to reconsider military support for its ally in the Middle East.

Trump doesn't plan.

Vladimir Putin, Stephen Miller, and Peter Thiel plan.
Not necessarily together of course.

Billionaires are obsessed with austerity.

I just got rid of an old Hyundai Accent that had crank windows and spring loaded handles for moving the seats.
😥

Yeah, clearly housing is unaffordable for far too many people.

But specifically? I'm interested in what you'd like to see happen here.

I like Mamdani, but of course I'm waiting to see what he can actually accomplish in the face of those ever present "powerful vested interests." Fingers crossed.

Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

Nice job, Science.

"Many of the scientists Epstein courted were already well-established and well-funded. So why didn’t they all just say no? Science talked with three who did just that."

The sharp divide on Betty Yee’s gubernatorial run Betty Yee has consistently polled in the low single digits. But at the state Democratic Party convention, she garnered an impressive 17% of the delegates’ support.

We need Betty Yee as governor.

“Betty is serious. She does the work. She’s disciplined. She’s budget-oriented,” [Michael Colbruno] said. “She’s kind of everything this state needs right now — which, I would say, is an adult running the state.”

Another thing we have to save again - old growth forests in OR. BLM seeks to eliminate old-growth and wildlife protections to facilitate what the agency calls “maximum” logging capacity. The stated goal is to accelerate timber harvest to approximately 1 billion board feet/year - 4x current levels.

Today is an excellent day to follow and support news outlets that explicitly avoid Generative AI Slop:

Right!

She didn't say no or fight back. So it wasn't "violent."
She's not even sure if she was raped.

I think that's one of the things about Al Franken's "pretend" assault on a sleeping woman that really bothered me.

The joke was how far can a man go before it's "actually" assault?

I'm "hung up" because people rarely forget when it's a man unless it's a deliberate insult. Like a MAGA Republican might call him "Mr. Biden."

With women, the casual expression of disrespect is normalized, particularly in Harris' case, for obvious reasons.

Canadian? You are totally forgiven then!

That's "VP Harris."

She's not just some chick.

I like that he was clear about roping Stephen Miller into this dressing down.

Horrible. I'm so sorry he did that to you.

I hope you and your daughter are recovering and you get to see her a lot now.

And at only four months.
No honeymoon period for this guy.

There are so many ways to coerce compliance without force, including:
- Not letting someone sleep
- Implicit threats to pets, children, or others
- Sheer persistence and nagging

People can even use all of these together.

That's why I didn't compliment him on it.

Netanyahu’s latest war has few critics in an Israel embracing militarism Attack on Iran has widespread support, with little questioning of whether it is best option for lasting security

In June, Benjamin Netanyahu declared “a historic victory, which will stand for generations” after the 12-day war on Iran.

Few prominent Israelis have asked questions about why the legacy of one historic victory is another war.

If it makes you feel better, I saw a male member of my family get up, make breakfast for the whole family, make the kids lunches, make coffee for the adults, and then go to work for all of the Several Days in a Row that I was visiting.
I was impressed!

Shopping, cooking, making the kids' lunches for school. Those are the things I was referring to. Daily, short deadlines.

Taking the garbage out has a deadline but if you forget or don't bother, there's always next week.
Nobody's going hungry.

"Man things" are mostly things that can be put off.

macro photo of a black bumblebee queen with a single yellow band near the end of her abdomen. You can see her from just below the her head down as she's tucked way into a bright yellow daffodil flower.

(Just took this at 5:30 p.m., she is asleep 😂 those little back toes tho!)

Exactly.

1. A 3.5-year-old is not a "baby."
2. A toddler is not in charge of deciding if an adult woman should have a baby. "All the other kids have siblings" is a not a reason.
3. Do not consider having a daughter just so that she can take care of her older brother.
4. "Dump" the husband.

Yeah. Hide his phone and see how long he's in there.
