How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

They are going to charge Black people more.
(5/11) Walmart, Whole Foods, and Kohls are switching to electronic shelf labels that can display dynamic prices. Kroger deployed them with Microsoft AI—a setup a 2024 Senate inquiry warned could enable “surge pricing” via facial recognition. (Kroger claims it will only lower prices.)

The disintegration of the world wide commerce web is one of the crappiest results of the last decade. Trump shot it in the head, but it's been faltering for years.

Kudos to @evilhat.bsky.social for spending the time and effort to give European fans an alternative in their newest Kickstarter.

Noem's jet is reportedly going to cost $70 million dollars.

Bush I's chief of staff John Sununu spent 2% of that on personal travel and it was such a big scandal he had to resign for it.
The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Jesse Jackson, whose impassioned oratory and vision of a “rainbow coalition” of the poor and forgotten made him the nation's most influential Black figure in the years between the civil rights crusades of Martin Luther King Jr. and the election of Barack Obama, died on Tuesday at 84. Follow live.

Turns out there is a downside to the governments around the world negotiating profit out of pharma R&D: the US became the only profitable market on earth, and so if the US says we don't want vaccines, nobody gets any more vaccines. Will it happens for other drugs? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/h...
