Dear #Kraken: please start faster from now on. I'm old and it would help keep my BP at an acceptable level. Kthxbye

There's a through line between the celebratory footage of detainee abuse from CECOT, the boat strikes videos, and this planned snuff film of the Nidal Hasan execution.

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

The elected government in DC needs to move on this quickly. The Democratic party needs to move on this quickly. (note: no, the two are not the same, but in this instance both have justifiable concerns about this)

--> It isn't the local post office's fault, either. It's the suits at the top instituting policies to facilitate their goal of contracting-out the post office's function to a private corp. Which, as with every previous privatization of govt services, will cost more while providing less service.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

Just used my $90 bribe from trump to donate to 4 democrat candidates. I tried to call the White House 202-456-7041 to let the prez know how I used his bribe money, apparently, they blocked my number😏 So, I called Mike Johnson 202-225-2777 to let him know & relay my gratitude 4 $$ for Dems😂

A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.

As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

The people going along with this, the workday folks who aren't living rent free on a military base, should be ashamed. Yeah, I get the job market is tough and you got a mortgage ... you should also have ethical and moral standards. If you agreed with this, you're a monster & deserve accountability

Navy SEALs testified to seeing Eddie Gallagher murder a schoolgirl for fun and he's a welcome guest at Mar a Lago. I don't give a shit about Hasan, I preferred having him rot in a cell forgotten than granting the martyrdom he wants but the context here is which murders Trump & Hegseth are a fan of.

I was disgusted by this person before. No one this disturbingly fanatical, bigoted and morally bereft should be in a position of such power and influence.

Very much agree with this. The Trump admin has purposefully attacked mail in voting from multiple directions and continues to make threats of law enforcement at voting sites… their goal is to create confusion, distrust, and fear… to suppress votes.

I loathe that show. No, I've never watched a single second of it. What I've seen from the ads & word of mouth ... yeesh. Total bullshit. Oh & yes, I have met & worked with real NCIS agents who seemed like mostly good folks whose sole purpose in life was finding & arresting pot-smoking sailors.

Having now watched all four Seattle Kraken games to start this season, I've determined their best chance of making it to the post season is to play Calgary 80 more times. They would, of course, be swept in the first round, but at least they'd be in the playoffs. Progress, amirite?
