We prefer dealing with probabilities instead of simple colors. Gives perspective. Does the forecast have our attention? Yeah. BUT, here are the odds. Within 25 miles of you, the forecast says there's a 30-44% chance of damaging straight-line wind occurring... (1/2)
Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...
It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.
Win/Win for Bezos. He gets to further piss off the remaining liberals that are his subscriber base and he gets to limit his downside costs of what will take for him to ruin WaPo.
Not that I am saying anything that everyone doesn't already know, but you can't have an appreciation for the law and justice and carry this opinion, this should be disqualifying.
I am so sad to find out who Katie Porter really is...I was a huge fan of who I thought she was.

Something else that I guess we'll just ignore and have no consequences for.
(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:
Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.
From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.
part of woke 2 will be sending the Minnesota Defenders on a bandwagon tour of europe to rebuild shattered goodwill like the harlem globetrotters
I look forward to his ass being perp walked to prison.
Just talked to a journalist about the scourge of dark money in IL primaries right now. Crypto is copying AIPAC's gameplan -dump in millions but *don't* talk about why. Crypto isn't running ads defending crypto - they're launching unrelated attacks against candidates who would regulate crypto.

Putin does no wrong in Trump's eyes.
Bezos has done a catch and kill on the Washington Post to suck up to Trump
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
I am sure there are plenty of reasons why it isn't a good idea, and could be weaponized by the GOP, but I am regularly confronted with the feeling that we should be able to remove judges much easier than what we can.
If I find out that a movie has an AI actor or character it will not get any of my money, no exceptions.
"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better."
The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.
I have adopted a new policy on LinkedIn. You wax poetic about how great AI is or how everyone is overreacting about the impact and I am blocking your ass. I'm not looking to see you do some performative dance for your current or future employers at the cost of everyone else. You're an asshole.
I am hoping that Democrats and Progressives are waking up to the fact that the more local your vote the bigger the impact. You need to be showing up for everything and kicking these GOP and Centrist Dem assholes out of office. That is how you get true progressive change.
I really wish it would all blow up already. Work is becoming insufferable with all of the AI mandates and fear mongering about being left behind if we don't fully drink the kool-aid.
Hegseth: "Some in the press can't stop. Allow me to make suggestions. People look at the TV and they see banners, 'Mideast War Intensifies.' What should it read instead? How about, 'Iran increasingly desperate.' More fake news from CNN. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better"
TN House Dems are fighting and it probably cost them an affordable housing bill this week.

I hope this is one of the most consequential pieces I will have ever written.

overlooking a series of circular water filled tanks of a sewage treatment plant at night. lights line a long brick building on the horizon as a blue-black sky is stark behind a veil of thin puffy clouds in the distance.
good night, sewers.
good night, streams.
good night, operations and maintenance teams.
