I’m watching a TV show about the famous German pilot, the Red Baron. I‘ve not gotten to the discussion yet on how his legacy was kept alive via the party pizza trade.

Of all the stupid things Trump has done, the proposed EO to allow for inspection-free beef processing might actually be in the top 3 dumbest. As someone who’s worked adjacent to the protein value chain, I can‘t overstate how much this doesn’t solve anything to create even bigger problems.

I think I maybe undersold how gross the “prank” played on this employee was. Imagine you come into work, try to help customers, and later realize they've racked up 500,000+ views on social media by harassing you and your coworkers.
In August, Toru Hinkle was stocking shelves at their job at Target when they noticed two customers and asked if they needed any help. The men requested a price check on an item — but even after Hinkle told them the item was $20, the customers asked for the price again and again.

“After a while, I realized that I’m basically being pranked, and I noticed the glasses,” Hinkle says, referring to the frames with a blinking light. They were the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, and the customers were filming. Hinkle eventually called a store manager over, but the pranksters antagonized her, too — asking the price repeatedly, deliberately misgendering Hinkle as “ma’am” and the female manager as “sir.” At one point, Hinkle attempted to stop the recording by saying “Meta, stop recording” out loud, hoping to trigger a voice control setting. The customers pretended to be confused by the accusation that they were recording Hinkle.

The confrontation made Hinkle queasy. “I felt like this pit in my stomach just started to build up,” Hinkle recalls. “After this whole exchange happened, the rest of the shift, I was just quiet and didn’t even talk to anyone because I was just so shaken up by it.” Another customer called the police, Hinkle says, and the two men were escorted out of the store. Target declined to comment.

There’s understandable schadenfreude watching Trump flail around, but it’s also important to observe that he‘s doing what bullies often do when confronted: fold like a lawn chair.

Just saw an Olive Garden commercial announcing three new entrées. They did not, however, indicate whether an ID would be required to access these dishes. Not helpful.

Quite a juxtaposition in sport over the last 24 hours. On one hand we’ve seen the World Cup bring cultures together as with the Tartan Army marching through Boston. On the other hand, bread and circuses at the White House. I’d like to see media contrast the two aggressively.

I’ve noticed today RE: Trump‘s meltdown that MAGA supporters generally aren‘t justifying the comments on their own merits, per se, but rather via equivalency with the “crimes” and faults of opponents. Cultivated lies and logical fallacy have broken 35% of the population and IDK how it gets fixed.

Trump takes unconventional approach to communicating to the public about war in Iran
The Trump administration took more than 48 hours to make any live, public communication with the American people about why it had decided to go to war with Iran.

So, how long before we start asking with a straight face if the Trump syndicate is getting involved in drug trafficking? The Hernandez pardon coupled with previous ones of El Chapo’s family (who bribed Hernandez), in context of activity in Venezuela is…interesting.

Chiming in with a periodic reminder to stay focused on things that matter, parse signal from noise, and resist bait from bad actors—both adversaries to the pro-democracy cause and single issue agitators among us—seeking to sew division under the pro-democracy tent. Focus is critical.
