The 1980s movie "War Games" features a computer that is given control of America's nuclear weapons. One of the weaknesses of the premise used to be that no president would be dumb enough to approve that.

“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:5-6

NEW: Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros leads Rep Diana DeGette by 2% in the first round of ballots from Denver (approx 2/3rds of the vote). These were the votes most likely to be favorable for DeGette. This could be over early for the 29 year incumbent. Astonishing.

We already have roughly two-thirds of the ballots counted in Colorado's first congressional district. And we could be in for another earthquake congressional result: Melat Kiros, a democratic socialist challenger, is up 47.5% to 45% against Rep. Diana DeGette, a longtime incumbent, in Dem primary.

Nowhere is this more true in my experience than the Northern Virginia suburbs! Formerly a pretty lily-white community, now among the most diverse communities you'll encounter. The desegregation may not be happening in urban cores but it is certainly happening in suburbia and it's part of MAGA panic.

Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
Spaghetti chart showing Oxford Radcliffe Observatory daily maximum temperatures for every day of the year from 1815 to 2026. 211 years of historical data are shown as very faint grey lines tracing a seasonal cycle from around 5°C in winter to a summer peak of roughly 25–30°C in July and August. A blue smoothed 30-day mean line highlights the average annual temperature cycle. The 2026 line is shown in bold red, running from January through to late May before spiking sharply upward to reach 33.7°C on 26 May, well above the entire historical grey envelope for that time of year. A single dashed red reference line marks the previous May record of 30.6°C set on 29 May 1944. The 2026 reading exceeds this by 3.1°C and, in statistical terms, is the 6th most anomalous maximum temperature in Oxford's 211-year record, ranking as the most anomalous May maximum ever observed and coming within 0.6°C of the all-time June record of 34.3°C set in 1976.
