I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.
Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

The US produces >13 mn barrels of oil per day. Venezuela produces <1 million bpd
There's a global oil glut i.e. lower prices. That's bad for US producers, who need higher prices to break even. Hard to imagine they're eager to make big new investments in an unstable place w/ decrepit infrastructure

An excellent question.
Seriously, does the US government have a warehouse full of meter-tall steel letters that can be attached to any building on a day’s notice?

Both the use of the word “demonic” and the fact that they are showing a picture of Keith Richards (with caption naming him) and saying it’s Mick Jagger’s birthday (it’s Keith’s birthday) are things a human wouldn’t do. @wsj is using an AI bot to automatically post their articles to Bluesky

I don’t want to see “experts say Trump can’t pardon a state conviction.”
That’s like “experts say sun rises in east, and some scientists claim water is two hydrogen atoms attached to an oxygen atom.”
It’s just a fact.
He CANNOT do this.
And the media DAMN well better get their coverage right.

Trump says he's pardoned Tina Peters, but that may not save her from prison
Trump has no jurisdiction over state-level cases to offer the pardon.
