Firstly, I love the title of this poem Secondly, followers know I love a sonnet. This subverts the traditional sonnet, written to a single lover, to a lament to the many – and though forgotten the emotional imprint of their kisses remain ‘the rain is full of ghosts tonight’ #poetry #poemoftheday
Poem - 'What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why' by Edna St Vincent Millay

not including Schmitt, there were probably at least a half-dozen people who had to agree that these texts had some kind of significance bc they were sent the day after the announcement about Fani Willis and Nathan Wade, and that proving that Smith was in ATL would get them a Moment

Reminds me of the speculation in right-wing media recently that the FBI misspelled “Operation Oxferd Comma” (or “Oxferd C0mma”), its CI probe into Comey’s firing, to make it hard to FOIA Stupidity is usually the answer but I can see both sides on that one because the misspelling is *so* dumb

FBI’s ‘clever’ Trump-Russia probe code name ignites suspicion something deeper was at play
Jeff Clark alleges the FBI deliberately misspelled its Trump-Russia probe name "Oxferd C0mma," using a zero to foil FOIA requests and hide records.

Thanks to @franticgoat.bsky.social for flagging (it’s in Colby’s prepared statement yesterday) This of course raises the question of whether DOD’s public release misspells a word that JSOC/ST6 had spelled correctly internally, or whether it was misspelled from the get-go (I’m guessing the latter)

DOD has released the name of the SEAL Team 6 operation in Nigeria last spring where they killed an ISIS-West Africa emir, and it is “Galavinic Cobra” It appears that “galavinic” is not a real word, but is an occasionally recurring misspelling of “galvanic” (with some instances on old gun forums)

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

The Naval Academy faculty has been roughly 50% civilian and 50% military since its founding in 1845. I was a Chemistry major (1972) and part of the military faculty as a Chemistry instructor from 1975-1978. Civilian profs were the core and foundation of the department.

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

HELL YEAH GET EM
Statement from Mayor Cantelmo on Campus Sexual Violence & Future Community Safety
Late last week, I learned of the heinous and sickening allegations made against the Cornell students who, according to a former undergraduate student identified as Jane Doc, drugged and brutally raped her at the Chi Phi fraternity house. Despite the severity of these crimes, Cornell University administrators and police failed to contact or coordinate any response with the Ithaca Police Department. Furthermore, the University failed to hold the perpetrators to account. This is a miscarriage of justice and continues to pose a significant threat to students and residents who may be victimized at unsafe and under-monitored on- or off-campus student events.
Given this appalling response from university administration, I have no choice but to declare a new policy directive and corresponding Common Council resolution, implementing an immediate moratorium on all student event and special event permits, including, but not limited to Greek life and other student group gatherings, until such time that the University conducts an accounting of its protocols to prevent and prosecute crimes of sexual violence and publicly releases new standards and practices to keep our community safe.
Robert G. Cantelmo
Mayor of Ithaca, NY

This memo is incoherent. Curriculum at the service academies, as well as all the PME school houses, is dictated by congressional mandates, Service requirements, & the Officer Military Education Program (OPMEP) & enlisted equivalent. The schools have to regularly demonstrate they're in compliance.

I want to take Chris's point 1 step further as there's an interaction effect that'll also be in play. At the same time that the decision to remove tenure for civilian faculty at the military schoolhouses, we've got a full on push to use AI for everything. These two together will be disastrous. 1/
