Why did it take nearly two dozen attacks killing 83, before GOP-led committees became "outraged?" I was outraged after the first!
Why did it take hearing that Hegseth gave the order to "kill everybody" when he has been killing since Sept 2?
We deserve better leaders.

GOP-led committees are looking into a report alleging Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” aboard a boat in the Caribbean.
Pete Hegseth is finally getting investigated

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.
What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Asylum seeker from Texas makes a short return to Mordor. "I suspect most Texans don’t know this, because I certainly didn’t until I got back, but living in Texas turns you into a psychopath. Everything in your daily life puts you in competition with every other person you encounter."
You’re not supposed to live like this

The pre-planned Project 2025 blitzkreig attack on our democracy has culminated, outrun the supply lines of public support.
They’re going to try to consolidate their gains, hamstrung by incompetence, internal division, damaged by overreach.
Strategic wisdom sees a successful counter attack in order.

Ok, AI can do things in a second that might take me many hours. I’m thinking summaries, research, analysis.
That seems very efficient, but I’m burning maybe 100 calories per hour, like 20 watts.
AI is burning 100 million calories an hour at just one data center.
So, is it really more efficient?

There are two kinds of problems: problems you can solve with money and those you can’t.
We can solve the first kind by taxing the fuck out of billionaires. That’s about half our problems, so it would make a dent.

“Using AI, the computer has chosen Utah and TCU to play in the Mountain West championship game.”
New Mexico and Boise State wins tonight means the Mountain West championship game participants will be determined by computer rankings, regardless of whether or not UNLV wins tomorrow.
Either a three-way tie or four-way tie.

The bill last numbered H.R. 9495 would empower the Treasury Secretary to designate any nonprofit the Secretary wishes to kill a “terrorist supporting organization” and revoke the tax-exempt status on which it depends for survival. Unconstitutional but lethal in the harm it would do while in force.

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.
