The Supreme Court has given the green light to Holocaust. The only thing that is left to us is not to avert our eyes if it does happen.

A congressional authorization of military force would not legalize blowing up civilian boats in any case.

A little ironic that catching the Platner problem in plenty of time actually strengthens outsider candidates as a class. If the tattoo only came to light when it was too late to do anything, the predisposition against outsiders would be far worse.

It isn't just the unprecedented public outcry. At least some of the recruits are apt to find the weeping children and mothers, the terrified men, almost none of whom are a danger to anyone, hard to take.

The Houston Texans schedule is brutal. They could easily lose 10 games or more this year.

Unrelatedly, "the refuse of all of the social classes" just popped into my head

Half of the chuds applying for ICE jobs these days are unable to pass the written part of the application process, even though it’s an open book test.

Some new ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting

The recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards, raising concerns about the agency’s rush to hire immigration officers, sources to...

It's incredible that @jessicatarlov.bsky.social is the only liberal on Fox News in a 24-hour period, is outnumbered 4:1 on the show she's on, and she still drives them crazy.

Oppo research doesn't grow on trees, but it would save a lot of wasted time, money, and effort if it were more robust (Exhibit A: George Santos)

Things that the dingbat Fox News weekly quiz assumes a deliberative citizen would have at the front of their brain (out of 8 items)

Which Friends cast member characterized her own fertility quest as selfish

Which panelist on The View promised to wear a MAGA cap if Trump secured peace in Gaza

Surely Anita Bryant, Patty Page, and Kathy Lee Gifford are all country-adjacent, before anyone chimes in with those

Bands from Oklahoma that are not country or folk:
The GAP Band
Color Me Badd
The Flaming Lips

(all I know of)

Bumper music in this OKC Thunder game courtesy of the GAP Band, who possibly unbeknownst to some are from Tulsa, OK.

Jesse Watters thinks it's good if his side does it, and bad if the other side does the same thing. Like every follower of Trump without even a single exception, Watters is devoid of honor and integrity.

Tell your friends: Trump is wrecking the White House to make it resemble Mar-A-Lago

"Trump Turns Off The Fentanyl Faucet" sweet jeebus what 🤡 🤡 🤡 you have to work with. Do they seriously think it is harder to get fentanyl than it was a year ago?

I'm sympathetic to the youthful indiscretion argument wrt Nazi tattoos, but I feel like when you have quasi-Nazis in power and you are in an existential war with them, you need to draw bright lines

Pulitzer material. This is the divide in America, not windy abstractions about immigration and asylum policies, but whether or not you regard these women as human.

Cover of New York Magazine, depicting two distraught women of perhaps Central American ancestry, confronting ICE agents

Oh, sorry! It's 3 columns of data, columns 1, 3, and 5 are the 1.5M time, and 2, 4, and 6 are the corresponding VO2 max

(approximate but close, you can only get exact VO2 max from a stress test)

I do them for the balance factor (I'm 60-ish), and also because of the sunk cost of learning them. But I'm convinced that Pavel added them to the program as a jobs program for kettlebell coaches.

When you get older, you may want to balance the running with strength training. Cardio is probably the most important thing in old person longevity and well-being, but core strength, flexibility, and balance are all crucial in their way.

kth @ktheintz.bsky.social · 2d

I did 1.5M in 13:30 a month or so ago (it's a standard trial for approximating VO2 max), though I probably cannot deadlift more than 150#. Of such trade-offs is life made.

VO2 max figures associated with 1.5 mile run times

Selling drugs to people who want to buy them is not narco-terrorism. Killing rivals in turf wars, or recalcitrant politicians and judges, absolutely.

If @jamellebouie.net can do the job from Charlottesville, VA, surely Douthat can do it from Hazard County, KY. Lead by example

That machine at the dog track that gets the greyhounds to run, only a bear claw instead of a rabbit

I do think it is not only legit but advisable to not slide when you are forced out by a mile. The jump took it out of the legit zone though

No, but reminiscent
