You won't believe what a great service experience you get when a branch of a tire chain discovers a different branch dangerously fucked up your installation.

The story is insane. The acting head of cyber security, a Noem crony, repeatedly demanded to see highly classified information he didn’t need access to, and when staff set up a lie detector test as a condition to grant him access, he failed it. So DHS suspended the staffers.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.
Acting CISA director failed a polygraph. Career staff are now under investigation.
At least six career staff were placed on leave after DHS opened an investigation into whether they misled the agency’s acting director, Madhu Gottumukkala, into taking the test.

Gender affirming care for trans people is safe, effective, and has a lower regret rate (4%) than almost any major medical procedure. It saves lives. These are facts. The right's talking-points are recycled "they are coming for your children!" scare tactics well over fifty years old at this point.
New research finds trans teens have high satisfaction with gender care
The survey published in JAMA Pediatrics showed that trans teens taking puberty blockers or hormones had very low rates of regret.

First hint of snow in the Seattle forecast, for Christmas Eve morning. It'll probably come to nothing, but apparently I timed the winter tire swap right (I get them installed 2 days before).

Rodrigo Duterte is sitting in prison at the Hague awaiting trial at the ICC for his campaign of summary murder against people he accused of drug smuggling.
Probably worth considering for everyone in the chain of command for these summary murder strikes off the coast of South America.

My injury recovery was paused a little before Thanksgiving when I felt a twinge and had to abandon a run. Lots of procrastination and two weekends of overuse later, I stepped back to an easier level to resume with a pre-breakfast jog. Time to eat.

Two and a half centuries after her birth, Jane Austen remains a master of social wit.
Born in December 1775, she wrote six novels that examine manners, morals, and the marriage market, and she published anonymously in her lifetime. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)
