He is an objectively middling public speaker at best, and that's when he's speaking from prepared remarks. Off the cuff he constantly fumbles. Insane how low our standards are for nepo baby failsons larping as working class heroes.

Looks like Starmer wants to take on Toni Blair's legacy and get kicked out a few months from now due to getting involved in an illegal US war of choice, as no one is going to pay attention to the 'defensive' part of his statement, they will assume this means they are part of it.

An Update: Did a Brooklyn Couple Kill a Neighbor’s Trees for a Better View in Maine?

When folks from Maine use the term "from away", most of us aren't talking about all resident non-native Mainers. After all, half of Maine's MoC were born elsewhere (Angus and Chellie.) I can't even describe exactly what sets off our 🚨, but I expect locals from Rockport recognized it with these two.

just got back from buying cat food at Canadian Tire, where now they have four "assistants" working the aisle with the self-checkout because everybody has learned that self-checkout = opportunity to steal with practically no risk

Today, US & Israeli forces bombed the Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Iran’s capital of Tehran.

Nurses supposedly risked their lives carrying newborns to safety from the rubble.

I’m having trouble finding more reporting about this, but here is at least a blurb from Reuters:

As Iran attacks Dubai, the tax-free haven for the global elite could see 'catastrophic' fallout β€” 'this can also send shockwaves globally' | Fortune The area's success at attracting capital from around the world over the years and diversifying away from oil could also make it a threat to global markets.

The closer you look the more signs you see that ICE charters are a mess. In one one week:
-Omni ICE flight had a 7-hour sit, then possible depressurization
-2nd Omni flight stranded in blizzard for 14 hours
-Air Wisconsin ICE flight emergency return
-Eastern ICE flight diverted
-Global X emergency

it’s wild how everyone hates Fetterman (correctly) and there’s a guy running who’s basically holding a huge I’m The Next Fetterman sign and it hasn’t slowed him down at all

Epstein’s New Mexico Ranch Gets Scrutiny at Last. It May Be Too Late.

(GIFT ARTICLE) Epstein’s New Mexico Ranch Gets Scrutiny at Last. It May Be Too Late.

I found myself startled at the certainty with which commentators were saying he wouldn’t be leading the party into the next election. Now I’ll be disappointed if he leads it into the local elections. Or indeed the end of the Wednesday.

Looks like a roundup of awards for DHS Science and Technology Directorate programs from as recent as last year dating back to 2004 (!!!). That's why you don't see private prisons companies. These are tech companies DHS has helped incubate or paid for R&D.
