Pentagon bars press photographers over ‘unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

Pete Hegseth: "We are manly warfighters who will deal death and destruction without woke snowflake consideration for laws and such."

Also Pete Hegseth: "OMG! You took an unflattering photo of me! Look at my hair! I How can we win wars with my Insta feed like this?!" wapo.st/3OZLeeY

I like how typos in manuscripts are no longer considered evidence of sloppiness, and have turned instead into luxury signals of hand-crafted writing by a human master wordsmith who keeps to the traditional ways

Well this aged well.

Fantastic essay: "Why the ATM didn’t kill bank teller jobs, but the iPhone did." davidoks.blog/p/why-the-at...

Key point: "it is paradigm replacement, not task automation, that actually displaces workers." In this sense, we're still in the early days of AI's effect on the economy.

I gotta say this war has led me to believe that 95% of military spending in the US just goes to defense contractor shareholders and nothing else. Like what do you mean the US just decommissioned its only mine defusing boats in the gulf and there’s no replacements?

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.

The incredible thing is that anyone with eyes or ears can tell that mamdani clearly loves NYC so much. The idea that he "hates America" is just so on its face ridiculous that people claiming it look particularly pathetic.

A little offended Grammarly didn't make a sloppelganger of me

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

<Grabs the mic> This ranch was managed by the same two people that managed the Sex Island and those were the only two properties that were under their supervision of all the places Epstein owned.

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"

I’m hollering at my screen… yaaas!

Actress Sheryl Underwood, an Air Force Reserve veteran, is asking the questions we all want answers to.

“Why is this not impeachable? And where are the politicians that say, ‘this dude don’t have it all the way together, he cannot be the commander in chief?’” 🔥

If you brought a plan to attack Iran to pretty much any CO at any level, they probably would have said:

"Okay, and here's what Iran is going to do: 1) use missiles to attack US bases; 2) use Shaheds to attack Gulf State infrastructure; 3) close and mine Hormuz. Do you have a plan for that?"

The first thing I read and talk to my graduate students about is generous reading as a foundational practice for our class. We're going to assume that I chose each thing on our reading list because we can get something out of it, and we're going to read for that first. Then, we can critique.

the Times, the Post, everyone: THE MAYOR IS A SECRET JIHADIST

Mamdani: hi! here’s a fun video I made about having a snow day! look at this cool building I found! have some child care.

Can you tell the difference between human writing and AI? Take our free quiz:

Yes, and Ogles is a man who will never be mayor of NYC

this is disgraceful but it’s also notable that they’re running the exact same playbook that completely failed to beat him in the election and it’s even less effective now that voters can contrast that with Mamdani’s actual behavior as mayor
