I get why most politicians let their comms teams handle social media, but it is really nice to see a congressman who posts like a human being talking to other human beings.
This is murder. Hegseth thinks he will get away with it because the people around him are more committed to aiding and abetting his crimes than upholding the rule of law. I wouldn't take that bet if I were him, or the people around him. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Alex Trebek had a studiously neutral expression he used in almost every photo with a Jeopardy contestant, I assume in case the person later turned out to be an axe murderer or something. It's so funny to see Zohran following the exact same strategy with the president of the United States.

Many gift options here for discerning gentlefolk, including a wax Warren G. Harding, a bucket of grimy hairless dolls, the cabbage that John Oliver married in a ceremony officiated by Steve Buscemi, and a signed bidet.
Jon Oliver is auctioning off a bunch of stuff to fund public media.
Including Ajit Pai's giant goofy coffee mug (which he used as a stand in for having a personality while he destroyed U.S. corporate oversight during Trump's first term).
bidding is up to $2,125.

Watching a movie in which an abusive English professor "transfers" to a different college with one day's notice, midway through the fall semester, and wondering whether there's ever been a film or TV show that accurately depicts academia as a workplace.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.
Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"
NASA is sinking its flagship science center during the government shutdown — and may be breaking the law in the process, critics say
"There is just a general acknowledgement that a lot of what is happening is illegal…"

Don't know how representative this experience is, but for what it's worth: every time I've asked to opt out of the face-recognition cameras at U.S. airports, there has been zero pushback. I say "I'd like to opt out, please," the TSA official says something like "sure, no problem," and that's it.

Wuthering Heights is overrated as a romance, and vastly underrated as a comedy.

What a generous act from someone who deserved so much better from the United States.
"[W]hen 'bullets crashed through the window and hit Miguel,' he turned to the 18 year-old boy sitting next to him in the van and said, 'I don't think I'm going to make it, get underneath me. Let me shield you.'"
