Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Another institution cowered.
Santa's Nice-o-Meter Donald Trump What a great person and friend! Definitely a "Nice!" Wonderful job of always considering others. Hands out compliments regularly. Knows the great importance of "please" and "thank you." A good role model. The main suggestions for improvement: eat more veggies and really wash those hands!

A great way to fight back against AI taking away work from creatives is to buy art by actual humans.

Trump believes the literal "Dunning-Kruger Times"
sahilkapur.bsky.social Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · 26d
With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

If only someone could connect the dots between how to streamline Whitehall and grow the economy … 🇪🇺
The UK civil service has doubled in size since Brexit, and a key reason for this is that Whitehall has had to take on jobs that were previously left to EU regulators. The more the UK seeks to do things differently to the EU, the more British bureaucrats we will need to do the heavy lifting.
