This is very true about Ilia and it’s amazing how many ultra-wealthy old men are totally incapable of being this honorable
reemiess • 1m i need everyone to remember that the first thing ilia did after a personal devastation is stand up, go and shake misha's hand and look him in the eye and tell him he deserved this. i'm so sick of people trashing this kid bc he's talented and the media over does him. he is so decent. such a good sportsman. i'm so proud of ilia ••. ~ Reply

Looks like Fort Bliss was working with AeroVironment LOCUST Laser Weapon System(s) back in July, per this photo.

It's likely one of these LOCUST systems is what caused today's weird FAA/DOD dust-up over El Paso airspace.

U.S. Soldiers, assigned to Joint Task Force Southern Border, prepare to sling load AV’s LOCUST Laser Weapon System integrated on an Infantry Squad Vehicle to a CH-47 Chinook at Fort Bliss, Texas, July 16, 2025. JTF-SB executes full scale, agile, and all-domain operations in support of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to protect the territorial integrity of the United States and achieve 100% operational control of the southern border.

The details of this case are enraging evidence of the vicious, virulent misogyny that runs through everything Trump and his demonic cultists do and say.
Police in the town investigated the 23-year-old's death as possible manslaughter but no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him. An inquest into Lucy Harrison's death opened earlier at Cheshire Coroner's Court, where her boyfriend Sam Littler described the "big argument" about Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated for his second term of office. Littler, who travelled to the US with Lucy Harrison for the holiday, said she would often become upset with her father when he spoke about owning a gun. The inquest also heard how Kris Harrison, who moved to the United States when his daughter was a child, had previously been to rehab for alcohol addiction. Kris Harrison, who did not attend the inquest, admitted in a statement sent to the court that he had relapsed on the day of the shooting and had drunk about 500ml of white wine. Littler said on the morning of 10 January his partner had asked her father during the Trump row: "How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I'd been sexually assaulted?" Kris Harrison had replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it would not upset him that much. Littler said Lucy became "quite upset" and ran upstairs. He told the court that later that day, about half an hour before they were due to leave to go to the airport, Lucy had been in the kitchen when her father took her by the hand and led her into his ground-floor bedroom. Littler said he heard a loud bang about 15 seconds later and then Kris Harrison screamed for his wife, Heather. Littler said: "I remember running into the room and Lucy was lying on the floor near the entrance to the bathroom and Kris was just screaming, just sort of nonsense." The statement from Kris Harrison said he and his daughter had been watching a news item on gun crime when he told her he had a gun and asked her if she wanted to see it. They went into the bedroom so he could show her a Glock 9mm semi-automatic handgun which he kept in the bedside cabinet. Harrison said he had bought the gun a couple of years before because he wanted a "sense of security" for his family. He denied ever discussing it with his daughter before. He said: "As I lifted the gun to show her I suddenly heard a loud bang. I did not understand what had happened. Lucy immediately fell." Harrison said he could not recall whether his finger was on the trigger. He acknowledged he had issues with alcohol in the past and said he "briefly lapsed" on the day of his daughter's death because he was emotional about her leaving.

I found this “recipe” for Tom Brady’s Chicken Enchiladas on 4 different AI-generated recipe websites (and on another that appears to have been taken down but still appears in Kagi search results).

There is no evidence I can find that Tom Brady has ever actually composed an enchilada recipe.

These AI-generated recipe sites are so viscerally unsettling.

The recipe descriptions are all some variant on the food-blogger stereotypical theme of “I was unpacking boxes/in a cozy cafe/sipping a latte” extruded into an empty and featureless simulation of whimsy.

Amish Country Casserole 45-Minutes Baked Beef Casserole Creamy Diner-Style Low-Cost Dinner Fall Garlic Hearty Hot Kid-Friendly Pasta Potluck Quick Savory Winter Time: 45 Minutes Yield: 8 Servings • Save Print 今 Share: 女女你女你 Amish Country Casserole, a nostalgic, hearty dish perfect for warming new beginnings. The first time I made this Amish Country Casserole was during a cozy weekend visiting my old college roommate, Jenny. Shed just moved into her first farmhouse, nestled between gentle hills and way-too-scenic for city folks like me. It was all part of a weekend dedicated to helping her add warmth-and hopefully some chaos—into her new living space. While unpacking antiques she'd inherited, Jenny confessed she hadn't quite figured out her tiny kitchen yet. It was a perfect opportunity to bond over something hearty and uncomplicated. Standing in that sunlit kitchen, I rummaged through her pantry for pasta, soup cans, and the usual suspects: onions and garlic. As we chopped onions and crushed cloves, Jenny brought up memories of our college late-night munchies, musing how life has now unfolded into worrying about consistent rent checks and overly enthusiastic goats in the backyard. The reliable simplicity of canned tomato and mushroom soups mixed with the tender pasta echoed the ease of those days. I seasoned generously with pepper, which she had a surprisingly robust stash of. "Warm, practical, and full of nostalgia," Jenny said as we slid the casserole into the oven, a glossy sprinkling of paprika on top for flair. I winked, suggesting letting it sit for just a bit longer after baking to allow the flavors to marry. By the time the dish emerged, its aromas weaving through the living room, the farmhouse felt more alive. We ate, swapping dreams and uncertainties, the casserole very much doing what it was supposed to: feeding our bellies while wrapping us in a shared, simple joy. It wasn't just a meal that day, but the signature starting mark for Jenny's new chapter in life. This creamy crab soup is luxurious and calming, perfect for new parenthood chaos. Cooking up my first meal with a newborn was an unforgettable maze of chaos and craving. The tiny cries echoed through the kitchen as I searched for comforting familiarity in the midst of diapers and sleepless nights. This creamy crab soup became my haven of calm, its rich aroma wrapping around me like a warm hug on those bleary-eyed afternoons. Having thrived on crab during summers by the shore, incorporating it here just made sense. The buttery sweetness of the crab paired with the unexpected zing of cayenne pepper took the mundane out of maternity leave cuisine. Methodically, I peeled and cubed the sweet potatoes while stealing glances at the baby monitor, reassuring myself that putting this together was an act of love. Leeks, thoroughly washed and finely chopped, contributed their gentle essence, and as they softened in a sizzling Dutch oven, I felt a semblance of tranquility. A splash of heavy cream right at the end was my secret indulgence, giving the dish its signature creaminess that satisfied both taste and texture. A tip: let each bowl sit just a few minutes before serving, allowing flavors to meld in a comforting symphony. While gently heating the crab meat in a skillet, I found myself laughing at the precision I'd developed out of necessity. In those moments, with thyme drifting through the air and a perfect soup beginning to cool, I realized that this meal was more than sustenance. It was a reminder of my resilience and adaptability during a whirlwind season. Every reassuring spoonful was a quiet victory in our new life together. These chicken enchiladas feature rich flavors with a soothing process. The first time I made these chicken enchiladas, it was to celebrate a rather unexpected layoff. I was sitting at home, contemplating my next steps, when I realized I had a bounty of time to explore something I genuinely loved: cooking. Digging through my pantry, I found a jar of red enchilada sauce and a pack of flour tortillas from my last grocery run —a run that, funnily enough, had been powered by impulse buys. I figured there was no better time than now to whip up some comfort food, even if it was just for me. As I diced a yellow onion and chopped jalapeños, I felt a calm wash over me. Who knew the rhythmic chopping could be my moment of Zen? I seared the chicken cubes in a sizzling skillet until they were perfectly browned-insider tip: always wait for that sizzle to promise a nice sear! Rolling the chicken with cheese in each tortilla, I couldn't help but feel like a culinary artist laying out a masterpiece. Smothering it all in sauce and cheese, I found the entire process therapeutic. If you're looking for that gooey perfection, let it rest hot out of the oven for five minutes; it works wonders for clean slicing. Putting that first bite past my lips, I realized losing a job wasn't the end but rather a savory invitation to a new chapter. It wasn't just an enchilada on my plate; it was an emblem of turning life's unexpected detours into joyous celebrations.

Everyone should review this amazing historical document about what Internet warfare was like in the 1990s and early 2000s.

(I aspire to Big Cat status myself, but tag yourself!)

www.flamewarriorsguide.comp
Name WARRIORS by MIKE REED Flame Warrior Roster NEXT WARRIOR PREVIOUS Big Cat would rather not fight...he enjoys peacefully observing forum conversations and laconically participates when the moods strikes. He playfully chases interesting threads, and from time to time uses a Newbie or Propellerhead as a convenient scratching post. He enjoys being stroked or petted, and tends to purr loudly. CAUTION: Don't be fooled by his fuzzy, playful exterior. When provoked, Big Cat reacts with lightning speed and almost always lands on his feet after an attack. Big Cat often indulges himself by toying with his victim before delivering his lethal blows. FAROSS WARRIORS by MIKE REED Flame Warrior Roster - NEXT WARRIOR PREVIoUS Xenophobe is usually a long-term discussion forum participant and he thinks of the forum as his private compound. Xenophobe regards new forum arrivals as mentally deficient and perhaps even having criminal tendencies, and they are invariably approached with suspicion and condescension. Xenophobe will mount a furious attack if a Newbie has the temerity to make critical observations about the forum's social dynamics, or questions its prevailing opinions. WARRIORS by MIKE REED Flame Warrior Roster S NEXT WARRIOR PREVIOUS A Swarm hive is almost impossible to detect. When a hapless victim stumbles on a forum that houses a Swarm and disturbs it with an offending message, the Swarm will erupt and fly at their victim from all directions. Taken one at a time the irrelevant, often mindless individual attacks can be easily brushed aside, but because of the sheer volume of the assault even the strongest Warriors must eventually yield. WARNING: Only those who are highly skilled in Swarm management techniques should attempt to wade into a Swarm hive. but even with protective clothing opposing Warriors should expect to suffer a few stings. WARRIORS by MIKE REED Flame Warrior Roster • NEXT WARRIOR Big Dog is a bully who doesn't hesitate to use his superior strength to intimidate other combatants. Big Dog may be smart, articulate or just plain mean, but in any case he is a remorseless fighter, brutally ripping into even the weakest of combatants. Once Big Dog securely fastens his powerful jaws on a hapless victim, Me-Too will join the attack. Me-Too is far too weak and insecure to engage in single combat, and must ally himself with Big Dog or a pack of other Warriors to bring down his quarry.

Would you forgive someone who claimed that the refugees were lying, as Chomsky did?
refugee testimony. Acknowledging that Ponchaud "gives a grisly account of what refugees have reported to him about the barbarity of their treatment at the hands of the Khmer Rouge, Chomsky said we should be wary of "the extreme unreliability of refugee reports": Refugees are frightened and defenseless, at the mercy of alien forces. They naturally tend to report what they believe their interlocutors wish to hear. While these reports must be considered seriously, care and caution are necessary. Specifically, refugees questioned by Westerners or Thais have a vested interest in reporting atrocities on the part of Cambodian revolutionaries, an obvious fact that no serious reporter will fail to take into account.
