Remembering Daniel Craig answering that question from the kid in Road to Perdition - "Why are you always smiling?"

"'Cause it's all so fucking hilarious."
She has blood coming out of her all over the place.

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social - President Trump and Secretary of Defense Hegseth committed a war crime. Why that hurts Joe Biden.

Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol made $95 million last year. His workers are striking for the bare minimum. Glad to be on the right side of the picket line with them.

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

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.

It is actually interesting that the Republican Party brand is already so toxic that they are trying to seed spoiler candidates to help incumbents win in tight races.

The whole "we're using AI to overturn the two-party duopoly" thing is an obvious smokescreen. NPR ought to be able to see through it.

(3) The actually-interesting story that the NPR reporter completely flubbed is that THIS ENTIRE "CENTRIST" OUTLET IS 100% REPUBLICANS TRYING TO SEED THIRD-PARTY SPOILER CANDIDACIES TO HELP THEIR PARTY MAINTAIN CONTROL IN 2026.

Everyone in the Independent Center worked for Trump, FreedomWorks, etc.

Three notes:

(1) this NPR piece is bad and dumb. They should be embarrassed.

(2) Everything is "AI" now. The Independent Center doesn't have some fresh new technology that is going to make centrist third-party candidacies suddenly viable. This is just the latest rebrand of a tired playbook.

So like a week after Senator Kelly and the other representatives said “Listen folks, don’t do WAR CRIMES,” there is strong bipartisan opinion that US troops under Trump have committed a war crime. Everyone got that?

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

A ten percent flat tax on individuals making 60,000 a year and couples making $100,000 a year. Keep the other brackets as they are accept the top bracket which gets boosted by 15 percent.

Keep the current no-tax exemptions for lower income couples.

A week ago 6 Democrats post a video reminding members of the armed forces that they must not obey unlawful orders.

The Right goes nuts. President Scump goes nuts. Sedition! Court martial!

Within 96 hours, the SecDef orders a war crime.

The Administration sure knows how to control a narrative.
