The 82nd fought in WWI but it wasn't an airborne unit until WWII. There weren't any parachute operations in WWI that I'm aware of.

🇳🇱 The Dutch Air Force F-35 did open the scoring by shooting down a Russian UAV.

There we go:

Was that only on my cable (Spectrum in L.A.) or did ESPN really switch back to ESPN from ESPN2 w/o warning in the middle of the AB at the exact moment that Ohtani hit that HR so the entire country missed it live? Whatever producer is responsible from that should be hung from the 6th street bridge.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

From Rasmus Jarlov, chair of Denmark’s Defence Committee:

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

It's an ugly win, and I'll take it of course, but we need more convincing wins heading into the playoffs or it'll be a short run. Dodgers playoff baseball already induces enough anxiety without the starters killing themselves to stretch deeper and every reliever stumbling through every at bat.

Not particularly relevant anymore....? We're literally debating whether it's the reason a major political activist was assassinated last week.

It actually kinda seems like you've flipped from the normal position you take on all other political issues ("stop looking at the apparent straight-forward answer and consider the impact of the memes") and are now arguing that folks should be ignoring the effect of the too-online culture.

I don't think this is the guy because an operator that careful probably wouldn't be touching every railing in sight with his bare hands.

Time for Poland to announce a unilateral no fly zone over western Ukraine. Put the new F-35s to the test, loaded down with air-to-air missiles. Let Ukrainian air defense focus on the Easteen half of the country.

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.

It's 100% intentional and it's why the GOP has been targeting public employee unions for YEARS. Think of the battles in Wisconsin. They're all complicit.

Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

Pritzker on Trump sending troops into cities: "He has other aims other than fighting crime... he would like to stop the elections in 2026 or frankly take control of those elections. He'll just claim there's some problem with an election and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control."

This seems like yet another in the huge line of things where AI actually could theoretically be employed in a very meaningful and product9ve way but will instead be immediately corrupted toward authoritarianism and distopian commercialism. The creators of these tools need to better account for that.

Mayor Brandon Johnson signed a wide-ranging executive order Saturday that includes banning law enforcement from wearing masks in Chicago and requiring them at all times to display what agency they work for.

Also, the confederate general in that battle blamed everybody else, including his own troops, for the loss.
