friction in the process of learning is good actually! friction creates heat! heat boils water, makes steam, turns brain turbines!
trying to learn without friction is impossible, where are you supposed to stop? where are the places that you should linger more?
don't optimize away all friction!!

I know this can sound kind of silly at a time like this, but doing a war without congressional authorization is ample grounds for impeachment

Gov. Tim Walz says Democratic Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed last night in “a political assassination.”
A state senator from my home state was murdered by someone pretending to be a police officer. This is quite certainly the definition of domestic terrorism, don't you think?
Update: Gov. Walz confirms that Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed.
Officials are “cautiously optimistic” that state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife will survive their injuries.

Fox 9 Minneapolis reports that two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer.
Their conditions are not known.

President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR. This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country.
Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

How many Signal chats with sensitive information about military operations are ongoing within the Pentagon right now? Where else are war plans being shared with such abject disregard for our national security?
We need answers. Right now.

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth.
But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

boy, i sure hate that our current administration is embracing a neosegregationist, white supremacist movement in my lifetime
Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed information about prominent Black, Hispanic and female service members and topics such as the Civil War from its website, part of an effort across the Defense Department to remove all references to diversity, equity and inclusion from its online presence.
