As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

With Bardot's passing, the only named individuals in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start The Fire that are still alive are Bob Dylan, Chubby Checker, and Bernie Goetz. The last one standing will claim The Prize.

Remember stories of European kings who built extravagant castles and palaces despite the poverty of their people?

What happened to those guys anyways?

As long as proud grandparents have refrigerators, school photos will be a thing.
School photos are kitschy and expensive—but parents can’t seem to stop buying them. Annie Midori Atherton on the portrait’s enduring appeal:

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

We're drowning in passwords & multi-factor authentication & chatbots & "unusually high call volume" & robots ignoring "representative!"

We should think more carefully about how Social Security uses these tools with our parents & grandparents.

“The fish rots from the head.”
Trump’s “Quiet, piggy” remark joins a preponderance of evidence suggesting “how limited a proportion of men actually see women as equal human beings,” @sophiegilbert.bsky.social argues.

Exactly. Once you decide that lying and propagandizing is necessary, you're on the road to oblivion, because the other guys are not only better at it, but they will out you as being no better than they are
The risk of straying from the truth is that the opposition can seize on the falsehood, hyperbole, whatever, to attack you and convince others that you can't be trusted.

I would love to hear @radiofreetom.bsky.social backstory/take on this bit of military and political history.
Late tonight in 1973, alarmed that the Soviet Union seemed to be preparing to intervene in the Yom Kippur War, Secretary of State and National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger and Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger decided to order US forces to DEFCON 3—without President Nixon’s knowledge.

guided missile warheads
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
