Commentary: A new study shows that national security professionals are often overconfident, frequently wrong in their judgments, prone to false positives, and resistant to self-correction.
Feeling confident? Think again — you’re probably wrong.
A study finds that overconfidence by many national security experts “was so extreme that it essentially canceled out the knowledge that these individuals possessed.”

damn...not lithgow too?
Imagine debasing yourself this much to play Lidl Gandalf.
Increasingly sounding like John Lithgow is reflexively going TERF to defend his role on the Harry Potter HBO show

How come Canada gets to have good headlines like "country rejects conservatives" and we have to deal with "supreme court rules 'harsh but fair' as administration uses 18th century law that makes having gay sex with your wife punishable by getting hit with a lifted pickup truck"

Japanese netizens are shocked by a tweet from the US Embassy declaring that Japanese people applying for non-immigrant visas must provide information on all social media accounts they have used in the last 5 years [or their visas could be rejected].
Some are comparing it to China & North Korea.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

It's toilet paper time all over again I guess...
When billionaires are telling you to go hoard necessities...
It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.
