Whatever the reason, I thought it worked brilliantly. Best scene of the season.

Totally agree

Skylar wasn't shallow.

Exciting news for infectious disease enthusiasts: measles is back in Colorado after years of vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. @spencersoicher.bsky.social reports for @nexton9news.bsky.social:

Outrageous ignorance by Hegseth. Any competent government official knows that asserting the civilian population is safe is Step #1 in a war.

And his “answer” only indicts him further.

If it’s true that Russia helping Iran target US forces is an easier problem to solve than college sports, then how scandalous is it that the commander in chief is just letting that problem fester?

Why doesn’t he pick up the phone and call Putin??

But the state does have an interest in its schools teaching truthfully. You wouldn’t leave it up to each individual science teacher as to whether they taught evolution or not.

😂 Perfect. No notes.

I recommend the audiobook version. It's read by the author, and it's clear from her narration how much she enjoyed writing the book and sharing it with the world.

Why are Dems nitpicking about the insensitivity of the theme?

The issue is that it is outrageous that a cabinet official is doing partisan fundraising at all!

Especially the Sec. of Defense, when our nation--not just the Republican Party--is at war.

It sounds to me like the US and Israel are goading the Kurds to attack, but the Kurds aren't exactly chomping at the bit to get mowed down in open desert land.

US/Israel: "Ready, go!"
Kurds: "Um, gonna need a bit more time."

A handwritten letter from a child detained at Dilley center. It features a drawing of a house and a crying person’s head. Translated text reads: "We are all stuck in rooms that can hold 12 people they won’t let us go out to the playgrounds and park and it’s very boring to do every day God touch the hearts of those at ICE let us out We are not criminals I want to go home."

While detained at the Dilley detention center, 13-year-old Gerson Lopéz Garcia wrote: “We are all stuck in rooms that can hold 12 people … let us out we are not criminals I want to go home.”

No, she blames Iran for backing the insurgency in Iraq that killed so many Americans. It was right there in the article.

She said she believes that Iran fueled and funded the insurgency in Iraq that killed so many Americans. THAT is what she thinks one has to do with another. You may fault her geopolitical analysis, but she's not a "slobbering moron" or a racist.

She specifically said she believes that Iran fueled and funded the insurgency that killed so many Americans. She's not blaming Iran because they are Muslim/Persian.

we should bring back not “having truck with ___.” there’s so much stuff i want to have no truck with.

Donald Trump announcing the new war

I know it's far down on the list of offenses, but the fact that he announces the most consequential and deadly serious of government actions - a new WAR - while wearing one of his stupid fucking branded baseball caps is just so vulgar and repulsive.

I used that term to include veterans and military contractors, since some of the comments referenced contractors.

Pete Hegseth doesn't sound like any previous SecDef. Not even close.

I feel like i could post a million links pointing how Hegseth himself is using this language and why he’s doing it and you guys would still be in here doing whatever this is. My advice is to do something more productive like trying to fit more of your resume in your handle

It's not about what you military insiders heard. We ignorant cake-eaters also read DoD press releases and watch Hegseth's speeches, and we KNOW that he doesn't sound ANYTHING like any previous secretary. Why is this so hard for to understand?

His point is we civilians didn’t constantly hear it the internal usage means zilch. Previous secretaries used normal words like soldiers or sailors etc when addressing the public. I’d definitely heard the term every once and again prior to Hegseth but he’s right that it’s constant now.

Thank you, for explaining what these clowns can't understand.

Military experience doesn't have anything to do with it. Have you read any of Hegseth's press releases? Have you heard any of his speeches? Then you know that he doesn't sound anything like previous Secretaries.

Possibly my most Boomer take is that transitioning to a post-literate culture is incompatible with a functioning democracy. Not just because people are substantively misinformed by TikTokkers or whatever, but because a brain conditioned by sustained engagement with text is wired differently.

After pointing at Democrats and saying they are "crazy," Trump says, "We’re lucky we have a country, with people like this. Democrats are destroying our country, but we stopped it, just in the nick of time."
Just insanely destructive. Indefensible — but Republicans stood and clapped.

Good. Washington was a truly great man. One of the greatest men in history. As were several of the Founders. Ignore the comments here.

I'll believe it when I see it.

Should be spelled “unprincipled principal.”
