Nav.mil : The USS Harry Truman’s last deployment saw 4 major incidents, including a blue on blue SAM shoot down and a near miss, and an avoidable collision with a merchant ship. All of these incidents reflect insufficient manning and grossly insufficient training. The Navy failing under Hegseth.

Still dominating my news. No one tried to steal my croissant this morning and I’m sad
My constant canine companion of the last 15 years passed to the Otherworld today. I miss her terribly but I know she’s surrounded by rabbits and squirrels and able to chase them again without her feet dragging.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the professionalism and dignity of the United States military.
They’re an insult to every American who ever sacrificed to do the right thing.

Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.
Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power.
Take that shit to court!

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?
But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.
But that's just me

Had dinner last night at Cured in San Antonio. It was a slow night and I was seated at the chefs bar so I got to have a nice convo with Steve McHugh and discovered several common connections in Oxford Mississippi, New Orleans, and Minneapolis. Truly a small world.

It’s really depressing to hear Bill Gates on TV apparently not understanding what a large learning model (AI) can and cannot do. Huge piles of expensive horseshit being foisted on the world because billionaires don’t understand the difference between pattern recognition and prediction.

You need to understand the difference in “hard work”. Some work hard after they were privileged through the door for work, while some work hard to be able to knock on the door and hope to get an answer.
