Preliminary report: The Russian drone that struck Moldova damaged national communication equipment. This would represent the most serious escalation recorded in Eastern Europe outside of Ukraine since 2014.

“Ha ha Jack Smith likes women’s basketball, how gay” was actually submitted by an 11 year old son of a staff member who was at work with his dad today while serving his suspension from school. They initially didn’t want to use it, but 5 hours later no one had proposed anything better.

And we get to finally leave the goddamn Middle East much faster, because the green energy transition makes it easy for us to let them sort it out themselves.

Anyway, the Iran conflict is probably one of the less destructive ways Trump could detonate his political power. Albeit still hugely destructive. But at least we're getting a forced green energy transition and electrification (much stronger than any politically viable federal incentive).

Continuing to Rob us of Our Money! The Trump Organization filed for trademark protection of "Trump TV" so that the government would have to PAY him to use the channel he just created. Miraculously, Trump has found yet another way to steal from the American people.

Klobuchar: “For a US senator to have false information and imply, based on a confusion about the name of a team … and imply that you were in another city, that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia, and then call you a dirtbag, is something that deserves an apology.”

Speaking of cop procedural shows on TV, decades of Law & Order have given people far too positive an impression of prosecutors. Schmitt's team literally made props & crafted questioning tactics based on mistaking "Hawkeyes" for "Hawks" he not only signed off but doubled-down.

A few years ago a peach tree in my back yard couldn't fight off fungus infections any more, so I regretfully cut it down (years of delicious peaches). Of course I had to save some of the wood. This bowl is from a single slice of the tree and epoxy resin with pigment. #woodturning #woodworking
A lathe-turned bowl, 5-1/2 inches across, with curving sides, made with peach wood and epoxy resin. There are cross-cut views of three branches, showing the wide growth rings.

Q: Why do you need tankers to move iron ore? A: You can move taconite via rail, of course. But it's very, very, heavy. An ore car is dramatically smaller than a standard rail car, and as this railfan forum post puts it, "a loaded taconite train is like ... a coaster wagon filled with concrete."
