Well played, Trump. Well played. China wins, we lose.
<<People in the [Middle East] have lost nearly all confidence in a U.S.-led regional order. Instead, on the whole, they now regard China, Iran, and Russia more favorably than the United States and, often, Europe.>>

Goddamn but I do hate the fucking Boston Red Sox.
Show me a car that isn’t built by Elgar and I’ll buy it. My local Trabant Dealer closed in 1989.

Facing the reality that brutality and cruelty also have tradeoffs and are not a secret weapon that facilitates an easy victory, they are furious at being embarrassed by their lessers and seeing their theory of the world publicly discredited (not that they would ever acknowledge that)
I feel like we as Americans are going to lean a lesson we may not want to learn if we launch a ground war in Iran.
We are not invincible.
Today, Paul Krugman wrote, "What happened to us? This is not the country we were supposed to be."
I think I would counter that we has always been the country we are now, it was just living below the horizon of our ability to see it. We’re white.
Ask African-Americans, ask First Nation peoples...
Two pictures of the pillsbury dough boy: once is on a purple background with the caption “he is risen! happy Easter!”, and the other is tan and brown, similar to a cracker, on a white background saying “he is not! Happy Passover!”
It’s time to post one of my favorite memes of the year.

For all my nerd friends and followers, a must-read cautionary tale of the difficulty of fixing software once it's moved into production and the failure of senior management to listen to the people who actually know what's going on.
No thank you. Too paranoid for me. I’ll stick with Ubuntu.

Tell us how you REALLY feel!
Yeah, there’s a lot of that about. The way I’ve used AI is to help debug something where I just couldn’t figure out what was wrong. It usually involved UNIX quoting or regular expressions. 🙄
Well done, Governor Evers! Reinstating commutation process will go a long way to correcting decades of biased convictions.
<<Again, as I said the other day, Iran’s military budget is a rounding error in our military budget. And we lost. For all practical purposes, we’ve left ourselves in a much weaker position and Iran in a stronger position than it was before.>>
Why were these men fired while U.S. forces are fighting overseas? The Defense Department has given no official reason for their dismissals, but likely they are the latest victims of Hegseth’s vindictive struggles with the Army ...
as he struggles in a job for which he remains singularly unqualified.
Weak sauce, Guardian… very weak sauce.
How is this even news at this point? Do we not KNOW that he runs a mysogynistic administration? Is it not clear yet? You need to tell us this?
