Fun fact: Lego arenโt perfectly square/scalable. I forget what dimension it is, but thereโs something of a 20:1 difference somewhere. At one point, they made a truly square system and marketed it to architects and interior designers. When CAD came in, the system was discontinued.

Impeach Pete Hegseth โ and Investigate the Presidentโs Role
Text SIGN PYOVLK to 50409 โ I am writing as someone who believes deeply in our military, in the rule of law, and in the responsibilities the Constitution places on all branches of government. I urge you to begin impeachment proceedings against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth โ and to investigate the role of the Trump Regime in authorizing a lethal campaign that may have placed U.S. service members in legal danger.
Americans of every political background agree:
We must support our troops by ensuring they are never given unlawful orders and never left holding the bag for decisions made above them.
That is exactly what appears to have happened in the September 2 boat strike off Venezuela.
The Washington Post reported that Secretary Hegseth gave explicit instructions to โkill everyoneโ aboard a small vessel. A first strike left two survivors clinging to wreckage. A second strike โ carried out under Hegsethโs authority โ killed the survivors. Under U.S. military law and the laws of war, shipwrecked survivors who pose no immediate threat cannot be targeted. That is not a partisan opinion โ it is the foundation of American military professionalism.
Even the Wall Street Journal editorial board stated that the Pentagonโs own Law of War Manual forbids any order โon the basis that there shall be no survivors.โ The Journal called the second strike almost certainly unlawful and urged Congress to determine โwho ordered what.โ
The Trump Regimeโs story has changed multiple times in one day:
โข Hegseth first called the reporting โfabricated.โ
โข The White House then admitted a second strike did happen and said Admiral Mitch Bradley carried it out โunder authorityโ delegated by Hegseth.
โข Then Hegseth publicly proclaimed total support for Bradleyโs โcombat decisions,โ which made it appear as though both men were being positioned to take the fall.
This kind of confusion does not help America. It does not help our troops. And it does not project strength.
Meanwhile, The Hill reported that service members are so concerned about potential illegal orders that military legal hotlines have seen a surge in calls. One career officer said he determined a proposed strike did not meet legal standards โ only to feel pressured by political appointees to declare it lawful anyway. That is a breakdown in the chain of command and puts American warfighters at risk of prosecution for decisions they did not make.
This is why many respected veterans in Congress โ including Republicans โ are speaking out:
โข Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers (R-MI) and Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS) have called for oversight.
โข Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) said the strike was โcompletely outsideโ anything Congress was told.
โข Sen. Angus King said if the facts are as alleged, the second strike is โa stone-cold war crimeโฆ also murder.โ
โข Sen. Mark Kelly, a decorated Navy combat pilot, warned that Secretary Hegsethโs conduct is dangerous and unprofessional for someone in the nuclear command structure.
These concerns are not about left or right. They are about protecting the integrity of our military, preventing unlawful orders, and ensuring American strength is built on accountability, not chaos.
And Congress must remember:
Under the Constitution, the President โ any President โ is the Commander in Chief.
The Trump Regime authorized or oversaw this campaign. Congress must determine whether unlawful orders, legal pressure, or an absence of oversight from the top allowed this situation to unfold.
To uphold the Constitution and protect our service members, I urge you to support:
1. Impeachment proceedings against Secretary Pete Hegseth.
2. A full congressional investigation into the Trump Regimeโs role in authorizing the campaign of boat strikes.
3. Immediate public release of the legal rationale for these operations.
4. A clear statement reaffirming that U.S. troops must never follow illegal orders โ and will be supported when they uphold the law.
America is strongest when we lead by example, support our troops, and uphold our own standards. Congress has a constitutional duty to act now.

This update includes information you may find upsetting. Please take care when reading.
From today, it is with a heavy heart that we announce trans girls will no longer be able to join Girlguiding. This is a decision we would have preferred not to make, and we know that this may be upsetting for members of our community.
There will be no immediate changes for current young members, but more information will be shared soon. Most adult roles - including unit helpers, district helpers and administrative support - are already open to all, so we are confident that no volunteers will have to leave the organisation.
Girlguiding believes strongly in inclusion, and we will continue to support young people and adults in marginalised groups. Over the next few months, we will explore opportunities to champion this value and actively support young people who need us.
We stand in solidarity with trans girls and women.
i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry
girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

People struggling in the entertainment industry should be frequently reminded that the universe is not out to get them, and that things will be okay. Perhaps then we can, at the very least, destroy that damn "failed entertainer turned right-wing grifter" pipeline.
