"Theory" is not a gift from the thinking society to those pseudo-researchers who strive to recycle commonplaces. Good theory invites us to think, to question it, to find flaws in what it proposes. To repeat the trite, let's rather stay at home.

Greetings from Kyiv.
No power at home, so I’m having a warcoffee in a nearby café.
Caught the moment when the lights went out here too (they’ve already switched to the generator).
Light rain outside.

Before there was the El Capitan on Hollywood Boulevard, there was an El Capitan on Vine Street. The top pic shows a variety show there in 1948.
The venue opened in 1927 as the Hollywood Playhouse, changing names over the years, eventually becoming The Palace and now Avalon.

Good afternoon from Chicago's federal courthouse. In about 15 minutes the 7th Circuit appellate court will hear arguments in the Castañon Nava settlement case; the settlement agreement limits when and how immigration agents can conduct warrantless.

It's the opposite of "the buck stops here". He is selling out Admiral Bradley and sending chills down the spines of his chain of command, who now know their boss will sell them out if he is taking heat. A case study in how not to lead.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

All used to target Dem voters. Intimidate them , Audits of Dems by the IRS going up maybe? (wouldn't put it past them). Combine that with social media infiltration to target their opposition like bluesky....well you get the gist.

This is a part of Trump’s plan to consolidate all personal information that the federal has on each person in the USA. Given how the current administration is destroying our Constitution & democracy, you can imagine what they’ll start doing! Peter Thiel (Palantir) is helping them!
