Several CDC staff currently working on an Ebola outbreak overseas.

You know — the ones literally helping contain and prevent it from spreading. (Like, to the U.S.)

We dressed you in a pith helmet and khakis at your first fitting and you busted out a couple of extemporaneous goose steps...and I though omg, he's really like that! You were very kind and chill, not at all pretentious and I wish more actors possessed those traits.

The IDF took 3D animations from the Scottish Maritime Museum, a cyberpunk project and other places to make shit up about Gaza, Lebanon and Iran and these were reproduced in international outlets for the past 2 years.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Do not mistake the U.S. for the world. The U.S. is an aging bully who can still punch hard but is more and more easily outwitted and outpaced by nations who have kept up with science and art.

The loudest guy is not the only guy. The world is rife with compassion and true non-mercenary innovation.
