I just think it’s strange that all the gambling companies have ads with athletes and celebrities instead of featuring all their users who have become millionaires betting, very strange indeed

I love Berkeley, people will build their entire politics around the idea that mitigating climate change requires radically restructuring the world economy, but they draw the line at a 12 story building a few blocks away or replacing some parking spaces with bike lanes.

Perhaps the USA’s greatest north flowing river. High Falls Downtown would be a bigger draw if Niagara Falls weren’t 80 miles away.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

There likely is nothing to be done at the moment to prepare for these possibilities (the only body of writing on the subject available in an emergency is science fiction), because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Also, I am not a moderate Democrat. One of the most irritating and destructive habits of the online left is acting as if progressives who urge other progressives to work in a coalition with more moderate Dems, are THEMSELVES moderate Dems. No! We are progressives who are not acting like children!

The letter the Oregon TAG (top National Guard General in the state) sent to his troops needs more visibility on Bluesky.

By now, many of you have heard that approximately 200 of our service members will be mobilized under Title 10 federal authority for operations in the Portland area. I want to take a moment to speak with you directly about what this means and my expectations.
Yesterday Department of Defense requested our support through U.S. Northern Cmd. The mission is straightforward: protect federal facilities and the federal employees working in them.
I need everyone to understand the command relationship with this particular mission.
Once our service members are mobilized under title 10, they are in federal service. They answer to U.S. Northern Command - not to me and not to Gov Kotek. Different authority, and a different chain of command.
I know some of you may have strong feelings about this mission. That's okay. You are citizens first, but you're also service members who took an oath to support and defend the Constitution and follow the orders of the President and the Governor. That oath doesn't come with an asterisk that says, "only when I agree with the mission." We don't get to pick and choose. We execute lawful orders with professionalism and honor, period. That's what sets us apart. That's what makes us the National Guard.
I also want to be clear with those of you who aren't mobilizing: this doesn't diminish our ongoing state mission. We will continue to respond when the Governor calls - whether for wildfires, floods, ice storms, or whatever else Mother Nature or circumstances throw at Oregon. We're still Oregon's Guard, and we remain ready to serve our communities. This hasn't and won't change.
For those of you who are mobilizing, take care of your families. Have a solid family readiness plan. Use your unit Family Readiness Groups. We have Servicemember Family Support, Chaplain, Legal, and other resources available to help you. Remember, your families need to hear from you, even if you can't discuss operational specifics. A phone call home matters more than you think.

For everyone, I'm asking you to be smart on social media. Don't post about unit movements, mobilization details, or operational information. Please don't get into political arguments online while wearing the uniform or identifying yourself as a member of the Oregon Guard. Understand you represent something bigger than yourself, and the public is watching. Show them the professionalism I know you're capable of.

I'll be honest with you - I know this isn't easy. Some people in Oregon won't understand or won't support this mission. Some might even be hostile about it. But we've been through tough situations before. We are professionals who do our duties, regardless of how it's received.
We are the Oregon National Guard - Citizen-Soldiers and Airmen who serve where we live. We've been doing this for over 150 years, through wars, disasters, and everything in between. We don't serve because it's easy or popular. We serve because it's our duty and because we took an oath.
To those mobilizing: Execute your mission with honor. Stay focused, stay professional, and stay safe. To those remaining: stand ready. Support your teammates. And keep taking care of Oregon.
We're in this together.
Always Ready, Always There!

So there's this thing where I'm generally anti-carceralist, but sometimes you have to send a message that certain behavior is just completely off limits in society, and this is one of those cases. This guy needs to be made an example of.
