A left-wing mob of cybernetically enhanced coyotes into all manner of ill shit.

Actually, it's just one retired (emphasis on tired) squid with a serious phobia related to random wires sticking out of the ground and a love of flying and airplanes.

There is no race, national origin, religion, creed, sexual orientation, or gender identity with a monopoly on patriotism.

There is, unfortunately, a certain subset of white heterosexual men who believe they have the right to dictate who is and is not fit to serve.

That latter group can fuck off.
Somehow managed to change the language settings on the television and wound up watching five minutes of Bluey in Japanese without noticing.

Either my Japanese is getting better or I've been staring at too many spreadsheets today.

Watched a Marine Major (pilot) panic in the Aviation Physiology and Water Survival pool and get thrown outta class in 2011.

Staff enlisted rescue swimmer shouted at him: "GET OUT OF MY POOL, SIR. NO, SIR. YOU'RE DONE, SIR. GET OUT OF MY POOL NOW, SIR."

That Major had severe feelings.

I bid two cartons of Marlboro Reds, one case of frozen bean and cheese burritos, and the content of my Japanese change jar (which is something like 4,500 Yen.)

Also known as 'Thursday' at SERE.

The prose here is leaning ultraviolet after passing purple some miles back. Ackerman doesn't need to invoke the CIA or GWOT in the lede as it takes away from an otherwise powerful narrative.
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Explaining very weak correlation as the number of mammals visiting the moon relating to the number of cars on the road over time.

Because I was asked if it would be possible to graph a very weak correlation, said no, and was then asked why.

I love jerb.

Enron wanted to create a trading market for futures in weather. It's inevitable some other gang of morons comes up with the same idea and runs to equally stupid people to fund it.

I got stopped on the street in Koenji (Tokyo) and taken to the koban (police box) because there was an assault earlier in the day in Chiba (also Tokyo.)

This is the same thing ICE is doing now. They hear about a possible assault in San Bernardino and start jamming people up in Brentwood.
White privilege is just a fancy way of saying “you don’t have to deal with racism”, it doesn’t mean you have a Rolls Royce and a staff of servants.

It does mean you don’t have to worry about ICE tackling you in the hallway because a neighbor said you “look illegal.”

Listening to airframe structural mechanics argue about how Schrader valves work. There are six of them. They're all convinced they're right and the other five are wrong.

They just got done arguing about how radar works.

Anthropic "released" (-5 for incorrect word choice, should be "sponsored and paid for") a study saying people are 1,892,312% (or some other absurd number) more efficient when using their "product."

Yes, and I'm sure the Philip-Morris "studies" about smoking not causing cancer were equally unbiased.
