The Army announced last year that it had enough of a model of armored vehicle and that any more deliveries would be “excess.” But Congress found a way to keep funding alive for the vehicle, and executives at the company found a way to flood key members of Congress with donations. buff.ly/nbAEUVa

Tom Cruise’s Digger has flopped spectacularly – but I think it is a misunderstood masterpiece
This article contains spoilers for Digger: Alejandro G Iñárritu’s film may be about to become one of the biggest bombs Hollywood has ever seen – but it is destined to be re-evaluated with time

Realised that I learned one thing from RFK Jr: what a healthy poop looks like. However, I think even that was learned mostly through comedians' interpretation of the Sauerkraut & Steak diet, and I eat neither one.

Craftwashing: Misleading claims about artisanship, heritage or working conditions
Claims about artisanship, heritage and sustainability are used to justify premium prices. But are they verified - or is there a risk of “craftwashing”?

The primary objective of journalism is supposed to be telling the truth. It is a DECISION on the part of USA Today to know that new details have emerged about this case and to refuse to update an old story that is still circulating and still shaming Jane Doe.

I'm thinking of Catch & Kill, Ronan Farrow's book about investigating Weinstein. They had to hide interviews, so that their employer wouldn't kill the story. I can’t possibly imagine this to be in any way ethical, never mind hindering good journalism.

NYT has a paywalled piece on how Cambridge is walking back quietly on its promises of a full investigation of what happened with Jason Arday. This is not out of any concern for the late professor. It's fundamentally about protecting manageriate who are largely left out of the 'reviews'.

I only glancingly wrote about this in my book, but big smooth brains at Marvel decided that they didn't need "showrunners" as such & as evidence that they *may* have been wrong about this, may I present 88% of the TV Marvel has made (no shade to anyone who worked on one, it's a paycheck!)

It's vastly more comforting to believe in an imminent robot apocalypse than the truth: the things that will destroy us are extensions of the unsexy but obvious problems all around us. We are not doomed in one grand way, but a thousand petty small ways.

I am so confused. Apparently it is terrible when young people want to buy lattes or avocado toast, or the poors get a take away rather than eating gruel, but packed lunches are a "pathetic office trend"?

This pathetic office trend is a damning symbol of Britain's decline

I would love to ask a prominent BBC journalist to give me an example of an illegitimate concern. Is seems to me that it has become a question not of fact, logic, or ethics but of volume. If a big enough proportion of a village was anxious about Bigfoot or Chemtrails, BBC would cover it in a way...

This, my friends, is one of your legislators. We didn't elect him, but he sits in the House of Lords as a reward for bringing us Brexit, injecting his bigotry, perversity and ignorance into our lives. Daniel Hannan in the Daily Mail today, once again grossly misrepresenting history.
Meanwhile, Caribbean countries are demanding ‘reparations’, not from the African states that enslaved their ancestors, but from the nation that poured its blood and treasure into a relentless campaign for abolition.

Incredibly, African countries – which became British colonies, in no small measure, because we were trying to extirpate slavery – also straight-facedly demand compensation.
