I may be wrong, but if the only path to success for your business is to get your competition banned, you should not be in business.
China makes 70% of the world’s drones. Blake Resnick wants to change that. Backed by Sam Altman and Peter Thiel, the Brinc founder is on his way to making his quadcopters the top choice for America’s cops—if only he can get the federal government to ban his primary competitor.

Good grief, this might be the most extreme example of fragile masculinity EVER and I'm including his boss, here!
By contrast, Patel favors a tactical jacket that says "FBI." Sam Stein at The Bulwark reports that Patel allegedly wouldn't disembark the plane in the aftermath of the Kirk assassination without wearing an FBI raid jacket, which he borrowed from an agent.

Worth keeping in mind ...
It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Psaki: "I know from experience that when the White House statement is any version of 'the president has confidence in,' or 'this cabinet member is a part of a great overall team,' ... it isn't typically a very good sign."

In case you needed another reason to not support McDonald's ...
BREAKING: Oakland McDonald’s strike begins days before Thanksgiving.
The company notified workers it's suddenly closing the store about a week ago, leaving us without jobs at the end of the month.
That's not how you treat your employees of nearly 20 years!

Trump: "Despite their size, Secretary Kennedy has formally certified that these are the first ever MAHA turkeys. They could be fat, but they're still MAHA. They've been fattened on a steady diet of grass, beef, to allow the smoothies and all the other things they have been eating for this occasion."

And yet another reason to not use it.
As Twitter's new geolocation tool started to reveal accounts’ information, the effect was like watching the Scooby Doo kids pull one disguise after another from the villain of the week.
Hilarious and alarming though it all was, it's just the latest indication of one of the site’s oldest problems.

If you want to take my obsolete cables away from me, you will have to pry them from my cold, dead hands!
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Vaccines are always a no-brainer.
Got the flu last year on Thanksgiving and it really sucked. Obviously vaccine is no guarantee you won’t get it, but it’s basically free with no downside and is, imho, a no-brainer.

Spoken like someone who never flies coach.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

Every few months, SDUT writes a long-form update article on the state of the San Diego County jails and usually includes a reiteration of some of the deaths. It never gets shorter, or easier to read.
