U.S. Plan to Unblock Strait of Hormuz Collides With Realities of Global Insurance The U.S.-centric insurance idea runs counter to the realities of an international market, according to industry executives.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."

When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

At this point it's barely even a boycott, I've just stopped thinking of Target as a place to buy the things I used to buy at Target.

A D.C. teacher’s aide pleaded guilty this week to forcing a nonverbal autistic student to eat hot sauce as punishment in a case that highlighted scrutiny of how the city’s schools treat students with disabilities. https://wapo.st/4uj9XuV

Great point — I said the Black Mage can be promoted to a Ninja. I was wrong, and you’re right to call me out on that. The Black Mage can be promoted to a Red Wizard.

ICE detains Marlborough 14-year-old, apparently as ‘hostage’ to target her father, Rep. Trahan says The teenage girl was apparently used to bait her father during an "overnight attempt," Rep. Lori Trahan said.

i do not eat at chilis but the next time I'm in a shithole where it's the best place to eat I'm headed to the gas station to buy whatever's on the sausage rollers

I wrote about an all-time favorite media genre of mine: the Sleeper Cell Panic story. It addition to helping prop up the war effort against Iran and pressuring Dems to abandon their (token) DHS reforms, it has the added bonus of promoting mindless paranoia and racial profiling.

According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

MacFarlane covered the Justice Department.

I guess my personal values do not align with Chili's, then.

My favorite headline in a while.

Kneecap: Government loses appeal over quashed terror charge Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known as Mo Chara, had been accused of showing support for proscribed organisation Hezbollah following a gig in London in 2024.

The UK government is now 3-0 down against Kneecap, and 2-0 down on proscribing Palestine Action; it seems perhaps they ought to adjust the strategy of "spending tens of millions of dollars arguing that opposing the genocide we participate in is terrorism, actually".

This is incredible. Looking good in a tight shirt is better than being smart when it comes to war.

And according to her?

"We said from the beginning that the boycott was indefinite, unless and until Target reversed its decision to rollback DEI and accounted for the $2.1 billion pledge it made in 2021 after the Minneapolis Police murder of George Floyd."

Photo of an older man sitting in a booth at an American diner. Backed by windows painted black with night, he stoops over a table, grasping a PS3 controller in both hands. Set up on the table in front of him is a large-ish flat screen TV, on which we can see Demon's Souls being played.

Happy 10th anniversary to this photo of some auld fella playing Demons Souls at an Arbys

So the shoegate I understand it is this:

1. Trump equals shoe size to dick size
2. Trump asks Rubio, Hegseth and the rest of the ilk about their shoe size.
3. They all yell, like 10, 11, big, huge.
4. Trump buys those for them, and they shamble around in shoes twice their size.
