I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
NEW: A recently developed Defense Department program was meant to reduce civilian harm during military operations.
But months before the Iran war, the mission was dissolved as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made “lethality” a top priority.

Another conservative justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Annette Ziegler, just announced she'll retire ahead of next year's elections.
Her announcement comes just weeks before conservatives are trying to defend a different open seat.
Liberals could emerge with a 6-1 majority by 2027.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your time, expertise, and detailed answer.
If a 3-4 year old child has had a splenectomy, are they able to be immunized? Are there any immunizations they can’t get?
Thank you.
It’s an honor and a privilege, even when it hurts. Maybe especially so?
I’ve served as an honor guard as well as helping shepherd several friends and family to their final rest. There’s a variety of feelings that pulls up.
Today, after all the ceremonial shovelfuls, they called for the strong, who felt up to it, to finish the job. And up we came.
I figured you’d understand. And thank you. He was a good man.
Ahahahahahaaaaa… my fitness tracker logged burying my friend as “yard work.” Which… well… not wrong.
I also forgot how sticky clay mud can be in the rain. I feel oddly out of place in public in nice clothes, with muddy hems and boots. Like folks should automatically know why.
I forgot how physically burying someone using only shovels can be so cathartic.
I love the loose folds and tucks of the neckwear, too. So many styles!
Anyway, we went to an afternoon tea for Jane Austen’s birthday at a local bookshop, which is what the selfie I sent was from.
Thanks! A photographer friend was using a few of us to do demo shots of basically, “you can dress up with your friends and just have fun on a photoshoot” versus needing an occasion, so we did a vaguely Bridgerton/Regency but queerer one.

Damn. It is too overcast to see the eclipse where I am.
A brunette person in glasses looks at the camera. They are visible from the chest up. They are wearing a black top hat with black and wine-colored grosgrain ribbons, and a sprig of mistletoe in the hat band. They have a period necktie, wine-colored waistcoat, and black tailcoat. Their clothing echoes the regency era.
A hand is holding a hand-sewn/bound reproduction of an 1808 pocket manual on The Art of Tying the Cravat.
10/10 lots of fun. Plus, there are books about different ways to tie different period neck ties!
Ugh, this is so stupid. If we’re going to stop charging the clocks, we should switch to standard time. All of the evidence I have seen says standard time is better for your health. #BC #YVR @davidebybc.bsky.social @bcgovernment.bsky.social news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...
Everybody involved in this cover-up needs to be forced to resign and then prosecuted.
It’s funny because it’s true.
Woman who attended SOTU to highlight her arrest without cause arrested without cause at SOTU.
““I just stood up. I stood silently, with no signs. I was not blocking anyone’s view of the hall. And then I was arrested.”
RFK Jr's ACIP Committee has scheduled a meeting next month, but instead of surging measles cases, they will discuss long COVID and use VAERS reports to frame it as a vaccine injury! bit.ly/3MOBbIX #StopAntiVaxPropaganda

These are “low enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.
Liberation Library is a group I co-founded. It has been doing amazing work led by Chicago-based volunteers since 2015. Join their work!
If America still had the rule of law, this would be the easiest prosecution ever, but we all know absolutely nothing will happen.
Florida just cut off HIV meds for 16,000 people.
