When Hegseth was nominated, people pointed at his crusade tattoos as a sign that he is a racist b/c they are common among white supremacists. And while he has demonstrated that he is indeed racist, firing and blocking promotions of people who are primarily black or female, it turns out that the real danger is that he views himself as a literal crusader.
Both things should be disqualifying imo. It’s like the U.S. is actively trying to plunge us into a new Dark Ages. The rest of the world is just shaking their heads and moving on as best as they can.
It is surreal to watch the US leadership bitch about Iran being Muslim, while we pray to God that he will deliver hellfire and destruction upon those crazy bastards in the name of Donald Christ our Trump and Lord.
Reminder that we are still war criming off the coast of South America.
The Wired article has a paywall, but this gives the highlights.
If I were living in New York, I would be switching allegiance to another team. It’s not far to the Barclays Center (unless they have the same problem).
Edit: I forget that the Brooklyn Nets also have an interesting owner with Joseph Tsai being openly pro-China.
Not sure if the article notes it, but LWTwJO had a story about lawyers and lawsuits, and stated that MSG uses the facial recognition to find attorneys from Morgan & Morgan, and kicks them out due to there being a open lawsuits by the firm against MSG. Not just those attorneys working on the lawsuit, EVERY employee.
Fun add: they use it at The Sphere, too – and Morgan & Morgan is country-wide – to kick out their employees.
Trying to find the LWTwJO about it.

U.S. soldier charged with betting on Maduro raid on Polymarket U.S. soldier charged with betting on Maduro raid on Polymarket
I’m shocked that insiders would profit from making political bets. Also shocked that a soldier is the only one nabbed for it.
Absolutely not shocked. soldier is a peon. In America by Republican design, poor people get punished, rich people get rewarded for crime.
Given the preceding sentence, pretty sure the whole post was intended to be sarcastic.
Yes, dripping with sarcasm. I ran out of red font.
I had run out of the ability to determine sarcasm from real. When reality trumps any parody and Republicans sit on their hands as evil worse than any movie villains’ plans rip the country and constitution apart to burn it for a few market ticks is the new normal, yeah, i miss the sarcasm sometimes.
The moron fired the entire National Science Board
This was after Karp posted a batshit manifesto on X.
He’s turning into a bit of a megalomaniac which is concerning.
Seems a good enough place to put this, as we are devolving toward Idiocracy:
No science for the health concerns, just idiots dreaming up health concerns.

you left out “a lot of people are saying…” and “…a mom’s group I belong to online said…”

Ooh, opportunity here. I should market anti-solar essential oils.
