Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.
Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.

this is extraordinary. too many people in my profession have circled the wagons around someone who lacks the moral sense of a child

it is an underrated miracle of the 21st century that we really did massively, massively reduce bullying in schools
My experience as well. So far we're 2-for-2 on kids having a largely bullying/abuse-free middle school experience. Not without bumpy spots of course, but light years away from what I endured.
My hot take: the anti-bullying stuff has really worked, which is why conservatives are pushing back at it.

for what it’s worth I got roped into helping out with my sixth grader’s extracurricular thing so I’ve had more recent contact with middle schoolers who aren’t mine than I usually do, and biased sample/biased reviewer/etc but my verdict is that the kids are all right

Hard to justify getting rid of Hegseth when he just proved to you he’s willing to commit murder / war crimes at your command when you’re at the helm of a faltering authoritarian project, really.
Like, it’s quite literally what you hired him for and what you hope he’ll do more of when asked.

that sound you hear is bradley’s corpse getting crunched under the weight of an admin who are desperate to avoid having to replace hegseth, congressional hearings should be a lot of fun
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

wouldn't have guessed it but i think bf have published at least one genuinely good 8 story every year since at least 2020. for all my issues with their current house style, the hit rate there is as good as it was before the box set era. really liking Lost Amongst the Stars.

happy 62nd anniversary of dr who! 2025 was, aside from covid, easily the most uncertain year for the program since it was canceled in 1989, but it still managed to have one of the series’ best episodes and a handful of other bright spots.

Literally the reason Twitter sucks now is all these foreigners logged on willing to do racism for pennies on the dollar and undercut our home-grown American racists. We need to erect serious trade barriers to protect the integrity of our domestic racism industry and preserve racist jobs.
