🛑 NEW: THE SILENCE OF THE TROLLS was a great story. It just isn't supported by any real data — just a handful of misleading charts. Researchers tracking actual troll networks saw no drop. Why did so many want to believe it anyway? We dug in... america2.news/motivated-re...

Motivated Reasoning and Confirmation Bias Drive Viral Claims of “Russian Bot” Declines
A viral chart showed that Ukraine’s strikes on Yandex silenced the company’s search crawler. But many people were ready (and willing) to believe it showed something more.

I was at West Loch loading ordnance on the days they were filming that scene. T-6 Texans with meatballs making endless passes. It was a shit movie. Tora, Tora, Tora was way better.

Knives were so ubiquitous on ships that I had a drawer full of lost & found knives. If I caught one of my guys asking to use mine, I'd just give them one. Knife, side cutter or multi-tool, marlinespike: basic Bos'n Mate kit

Lost mine due to my own fumble. I was probably 2' from the deck edge and it just went flying out of my hand in slow motion. Seared into my brain. I can still see it now

I had two VG-10 Seki City. The other one was the all stainless police model. Lost it over the side at Kilo Wharf, Guam. Water was so clear I could see it go all the way down. 😯😕😭

Thought I'd lost my Spyderco that has been around the world with me since 2003. My primary working knife. If it's not clipped to my pocket, I feel naked. Lately the clip has bent open & have had a couple close calls. Mrs reminded me I drove her car today and there it was! Tomorrow's priority job.

Republicans, my advice to them is if you start calling your political opponents Communists, maybe it's time to shut up. David Brooks, it's long past time for you to shut up

Miller and Katie are partying like it's 1994 at Fort Myer. The Rubio's, Burgrums, and Hegseths are too. Melania is somewhere. But while we are sleeping, he is up with Natalie airing grievances on social media. With the means to end all life on this planet at his fingertips.

Nope. He's someone sleeping on a lawn, probably passed out. Doesn't matter what his day job is.

Do you really want to kill someone for sleeping on your lawn? Because if you take that gun outside, you just might. No thanks.

Thanks for the memory. When our son completed the parallel parking on a hill with my standard shift Pathfinder and then insisted on doing it again, it was a proud moment for both of us.

Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, maybe the homeowner should have just called the police. I'm not taking a firearm outside to confront someone sleeping on my lawn at 0330

Zumwalt did not. Capt Jon Olmsted (now a SF Pilot) had previously commanded Lewis Puller, and Mercy on several Pac Partnership missions. A highly skilled ship handler and a real gentleman. He took Richard E Byrd for PP'09 while I was Ship's Bos'n.
