I tend to be fairly permissive on the conduct of the military. War is a nasty business; you really need to be beyond the pale, imo, to warrant prosecution.

This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

The Trump administration has pardoned several criminals, many of whom who have broken the law again.
This woman stole money from an employer as a college student. That was 24 years ago. Since then she started a business and a family. Now she is hauled back to country she left as a child in shackles.

The 2023 collapse is a significant data point. Most great coaches don't have such a spectacular failure on their resume.
Sirianni's made it to as many Super Bowls and won as many Super Bowls in four years as the entire organization did over the prior 40 years! The offense has averaged 30 points per game in the playoffs! All of this stuff just happened!
Regular season record isn't everything and siriani has a tail end of a usually bad run ahead of him. Howie is the genius. He made siriani hire coordinators who stunk. He'll do it again when this offense fails in the playoffs. Siriani is a coat tail rider.

the takeaway from the Zohran Trump meeting is that Trump is a gullible fool who will temporarily bend to the last charismatic person he talked to.
Zohran played him perfectly but that doesn’t mean Trump is good now. He’ll go back to fascism tomorrow morning after he talks to Stephen Miller

A dead sperm whale has washed up on Nantucket for the first time in decades. It’s too big to move — at least until officials figure out a plan.
Dead Sperm Whale on Nantucket Is Too Big to Move, for Now
A local nonprofit said the 52-ton mammal is “far too big, awkward and heavy to remove.” A town official later said it could be dragged out to sea by Thanksgiving.

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.
Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”
