Re: Fairford suspects. I’ve seen speculation that maybe they were simply stealing diesel. I guess that’s possible. That said, the setup certainly matched the MO of a coordinated VBIED assault. Also, maybe don’t steal fuel in trucks that could easily be bombs next to a base.

🧐 If true, I suspect the plan was to detonate the VBIEDs and then ambush first responders. I’m just glad that farmer was paying attention.

Lauren Bacall was born #OTD in 1924. Named the 20th greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute & honored by AMPAS in 2009, "in recognition of her central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures." #FilmSky #MovieSky #FilmNoir
A dramatic, black-and-white studio portrait of legendary American actress Lauren Bacall (1924–2014), captured in her iconic signature pose known as "The Look." Photographed from a three-quarter profile angle facing right, she tilts her head down toward her chest while casting a piercing, magnetic gaze up at the viewer. Her thick, voluminous blonde hair is styled in flawless, brushed-out Old Hollywood finger waves that frame her sharp jawline. She wears a thick, ribbed-knit turtleneck sweater underneath a soft, draped wool jacket or wrap. Her expression is cool, smoldering, and intensely confident, defined by perfectly sculpted eyebrows, striking light-colored eyes, and elegant, dark-lipsticked lips held closed. The background is softly blurred with abstract, painterly studio shadows, concentrating all focus on her luminous skin and classic features. The composition epitomizes the seductive, sophisticated, and powerful mood of 1940s film noir cinema.

😬 Insanity on steroids! My 12-year old self depended on that adult section for classic literature, history, & science. I built a small library with purchases from the local Friends bookstore (tiny as it was). No doubt the ban was aimed at "adult" content, but it will have massive collateral damage.

The Who release “Who Are You” 48 yrs ago today. “I felt very threatened by the punk thing at first,” said Daltrey. “It was like, ‘Well, they think they’re f–king tough, but we’re f–king tougher.’ It unsettled me in my vocals. When I listen back .., I can hear that it made me incredibly aggressive.”

It's the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, but my mind keeps going here, to the Moore House in 1781. This is where the British under General Cornwallis negotiated terms for surrender at Yorktown. (And the war was still not over.) Happy 4th, all! - we've a long way to go, yet. ⚔️🎉
This is the room where General Cornwallis had to negotiate the terms for his troops' surrender to General Washington at Yorktown, 1781.  It is located in the Moore House, in Yorktown, Virginia.  The Moore House is part of the historic Yorktown Battlefield and is open to tours from the public.  The actual surrender of British troops under General Cornwallis did not take place until the next day.  While the surrender of Cornwallis led to the end of the Revolutionary War, the war itself was not over.  New York City, Charleston, Wilmington, and Savannah were still occupied by British troops.

There’s a special kind of irony in watching the “shall not be infringed” crowd twist themselves into knots insisting birthright citizenship shouldn’t exist. It’s amazing how flexible “absolute” rights become when they’re someone else’s.
