In cases you were wondering . . . this is a photo that annoyed Pete Hegseth so much because he thought it was "unflattering" so he got the photographer barred. I encourage all of you to use it as often as possible.

ALBERT: The KGB Manual on Betrayal Written in 1966 for Soviet intelligence trainees, this KGB manual tells the story of a spy recruited in Istanbul whose alleged double game ended in arrest and execution.

"The introduction to the English translation of #KGB training manual was written by Dr. Filip Kovacevic, a leading scholar of Russian & Soviet intelligence history."

Dire Straits: The Iran War Is Run by Idiots Also: Americans don't care about process. So they will get corruption.

“It should not surprise you that the same team which invited a reporter into a Signal chat about war plans a few months ago have been blindsided by the Iranian regime’s resilience.”

I've long been sounding the alarm on Section 702 of FISA, and secret, legal loopholes the government uses to spy on Americans. The program is up for reauthorization in April and I'll be fighting like hell to make sure the current program doesn’t get rubber stamped.

The world doesn’t have enough ammo for the Iran War How long can Iran keep shooting missiles? How long can everyone else keep shooting them down?

The math problem that may determine how and when the war in Iran ends

False narrative: the woman who said Trump sexually assaulted her as a minor refused to cooperate.

Reality: FBI failed her. She asked: what’s the point if nothing can be done? FBI didn’t dispute that.

When victims think nothing can be done, our justice system is failing them.

Take a look at this important -- and timely! -- report from my @brennancenter.org colleagues @amostoh.bsky.social and @emileayoub.bsky.social on the Defense Department's race to adopt AI and the resulting risks to civil liberties and even human life.

Saving this to warn my grandkids.

Somebody lived a beautiful life.

Don’t vote for these grifters.

Asking questions of AI: unimaginative, bad for the environment, amplifies societal bias. ❌

Asking questions of ghosts: creative, exciting, potential for demonic possession, may lead to murders being solved. ✅

What if the real mind viruses were the "objective" LLMs the reactionary plutocrats created on the way toward their goal of destroying the "woke mind virus."

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

Iowa farmer: This fertilizer shortage is going to affect everybody. It could lead to a decrease in yields. If you look at that countrywide, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, that will increase prices. It's gonna be a train wreck for consumers.

When he’s right, he’s right.

We only have six of these left at this price! If you love this album, snap it up, you'll be glad you did.

It would be a great irony if Trump’s adventure in Iran resulted in regime change at home.

I mean, one can dream, right?

At the height of the US postcard craze, “tall-tale” cards imagined a land of giant-sized plenty. In this 1909 series, Californian rail cars haul colossal fruit and veg — turning agricultural pride into something surreal and strangely beautiful: publicdomainreview.org/collection/g...

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

I have no evidence of this but part of me STRONGLY believes that the increase I’ve noticed in dyslexia and dysgraphia diagnoses for students is linked to a) only reading and writing on screens starting at a young age, and b) a lack of exposure to complex language during key developmental times

The Trump DOJ is giving guns back to felons, including one alleged fake elector The Department of Justice is quietly restarting a decades-dormant program to restore gun rights to felons. One of them was an alleged fake elector in 2020.

Most of them had something in common: decades-old felony convictions. Many had been charged long ago and had lived for years without access to firearms.

Joe Rogan Says Trump’s Supporters Feel ‘Betrayed’ by Iran War

You know, with all these people coming out as shocked, SHOCKED that #Trump isn't who they thought he was, why won't the media ever talk to those of us who are like, "This is exactly who we thought he was and what we expected him to do"?!?!

Joe Rogan is a dumbfuck.

Enough dumbfucks.
