every crime committed in the context of a war is not a war crime, every death in a war is not a murder, but this was absolutely cold-blooded murder in a way that no war could justify, even if we were at war, which we aren't

I don't believe that, but even if true the initial strike was also immoral and illegal.
A top admiral is expected to tell lawmakers tomorrow that he and his legal adviser concluded that the two survivors of a boat strike in September were attempting to continue their drug run, making them and the damaged vessel legitimate targets for another attack.

I'm sorry this is not helpful Google "AI" when I'm looking at a (quite good) diner's entry to check their holiday hours. (Even if it's true.)

I remember live-chatting on IRC with friends. Analogue OTA was consistently like 5-10 seconds ahead of cable and 10-15 seconds ahead of satellite. HD OTA has a slightly smaller margin IIRC.
Fair warning that I've been told it's sometimes TOO good. The live notifications (which I don't use) sometimes beat the TV feed apparently
Well @alexkirshner.com was right, the Apple sports scores app is very good

Seeing the local Annie Jr production put on by Momentum Collective at the Lee rec center and they're delaying the start by ten minutes since Duke St and rt 1 are the worst they've been in months... 🙃 I assume bc feds back at work and multiple accidents on the Beltway.

Word is Mark Warner and Tim Kaine may be on Team Cave, which is completely unsurprising but still fucking stupid. Give them a call now.
Oh and sorry for the Warner staffer who has to listen to my sweary voicemail. I'm sure you've heard worse but you do work for a dumbass.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
