Man, guess we got so distracted by winning in Iran that we let a little data breach happen and so I get a nice letter from the DoD telling me that they’re ensuring my data is safe and…oh wait, no, just offering a year of contracted credit monitoring Who knew DOGEing the smart people was a bad thing

*9 to 5* may have been a comedy, but for so many of us women fighting for respect on the job, it felt all too real. Dolly helped make us laugh at the boss and imagine what we could change together. Happy 9 to 5 Day! We miss you, Dolly.

i mean, just look at how the populists talked about the railroad barons and others like them. "The fruits of the toil of millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal fortunes, unprecedented in the history of the world, while their possessors despise the republic and endanger liberty."

And when Dan Sickles, future Civil War general and all-around-rascal, shot Key’s son DC District Attorney Philip Barton Key in broad daylight in front of the White House in 1859, he did the Black population of DC a massive favor as Key used his position to persecute Black DC citizens

Sharing this again because it’s so totally spot-on. “Warrior,” as I’ve written about before, is a term utterly unfit for a citizen-soldier professional military. I want to buy @briankerg.bsky.social a beer or two for this. www.usni.org/magazines/pr...

Anyone else find it a little odd to every year say “never forget 9/11” when we don’t even know what it is that we’re remembering Maybe it was that we vented our national grief & rage by smashing two other countries and plunging into interminable Middle East conflicts But maybe that’s just me

So 'blockade' as a legal thing in war has specific rules. There need to be specific military-related goods as contraband (you can't contraband food or medical supplies, for instance), and you need to give ships a chance to turn around. The latter basically requires using a surface fleet.
