Lidar stopped being prohibitively expensive 5 years ago but Elon kept lying about it because he made a bad decision and people refuse to stop repeating the lie.

“everyone is twelve” theory has reached Senator Kelly
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

This is James Bennet, the former NYT opinion editor who didn't read Tom Cotton's "let's unleash the military on American cities" op-ed before running it and then got fired. Also, he hired both Bari Weiss and Bret Stephens. He's more responsible than most for the republic's ruination.
Donald Trump had reasonable concerns about how Joe Biden’s relatives enriched themselves through his service. Yet his own family is making the “Biden crime family” look small-time

The Times piece by @brendannyhan.bsky.social about No Kings made me curious about the political activism of young people over time. So I pulled some CES data and made some charts. www.pbump.net/o/how-severe...

The fact that this is a surprise to Bradley, presumably Fenton, and a whole bunch of large adult son SOF officers is a justifiable reason alone to fire everyone at SOCOM, just for being fucking stupid
WAPO: “.. Officials in Congress and the Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike ..”

i think it speaks to the cowardice amongst the “kill them all” people that their highest elected official is throwing the guy who followed his order to kill them all under the bus
"the combat decisions he has made" is the key phrase here -- Hegseth is making it clear he's distancing himself from the strike

Most of America would be lucky to have a bagel world or a house of biryanis. having both in a single strip mall is but a sign of how new jersey is so rich it paves the very roads with jewels
This is just a few minutes from my old Congressional office. Local high school has a 97% graduation rate, Netflix is opening a $1B movie studio down the road, and Bruce Springsteen was born and raised around the corner (and still lives there). So yeah…tell me more.

In another era, the political media would be shoveling dirt onto Trump's political grave as a hopeless lame duck and shifting their focus to the 2028 Presidential race. But in this era they'll keep rooting for the Reichstag Fire or other event to keep pretending he's popular

-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November
