Does the USN actually have mine clearing assets in the area? Did the two LCSes come back from Singapore?

Did they even move the two LCSes back from Singapore?

Here’s the very simple truth. We should ban all Gerrymandering. Until then, to unilaterally disarm is political suicide and malpractice.

Speaking personally, I think it's the video evidence. George Floyd was the same. You can read or hear about injustice, but it's different when you see it with your own eyes.

IIRC, it's above freezing at higher altitudes, so it starts falling as rain.

Was biking. A guy was gaining on me. I looked behind me to see how far back he was, lost my balance, stuck my hand out to stop my fall, and broke my pinky in a chain link fence. Still managed to wipe out too. He stopped to ask if I was ok, which was nice. 🫣

COWEN: Electrons. Just energy. What’s the most likely short-term solution for that? ALTMAN: Short-term, natural gas. ... ALTMAN: Or wherever. Long-term, it will be dominated, I believe, by fusion and by solar. I don’t know what ratio, but I would say those are the two winners.

He's using "electrons" as a shorthand for more power. It's a clunky way to say it for sure.

In these cases, it's acceptable to time your trip based on the expected drive times of Google/Apple Maps (or equivalent), which account for traffic to a degree. If they're wrong, you can use the "appeal to (automated) authority" defense. 🤖

BSmitty @bsmittybsky.bsky.social · 13/10/2025
Of course if it's a long drive or there's highly variable traffic, the rules are relaxed. (Yes we've been late to Paul n Aaron's! 😂)

They didn't need a Youngkin clone. Literally any "White MAGA Dude" would do better for them than Sears. I like Spanberger, but she's not a very strong D candidate. Her milquetoast campaign has been uninspiring. (I'll still enthusiastically fill in the circle next to her name.)

I'm baffled by the GOP strategy. Knowing full well their base is racist and misogynistic, they decide to run a kinda weird, black woman at the top of the ticket. How is that a winning strategy? They won in 2022 with a "traditional Republican" white dude. Were they all out of those?
