Yes, it's really scummy to throw Adm. Bradley under the bus. But if he gave or followed an illegal order that resulted in the loss of human life, he belongs under the bus. Sec. Hegseth just belongs there with him.

is it a good idea to
1) decide that a technology is militarily important,
2) deport as many people as you can who do it to your biggest rival for that technology,
and
3) also deport a bunch of other scientists who have nothing to do with it, but who now have a reason to be upset with you

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.
Just got the word that the Trump administration is throwing a brilliant medical researcher friend of mine out of the country because they’re Chinese. Insane and unreal. Literally doing research in the US to help the US

That’s not what “the fog of war” is, you sodden dipshit.
Q: So you didn't see any survivors after that first strike?
HEGSETH: I did not personally see survivors. The thing was on fire. This is called the fog of war. This is what you in the press don't understand. You sit in your air conditioned offices and plant fake stories in the Washington Post

If you have heard about it then yes, because the point of doing it was so that you know about it.
If you are talking about some hypothetical where you’d never even know, then … why? Why would you bother talking about that?
By “bullying” do you just mean “asshole”? Then yes.

OK, internet, from a pretty awesome discussion with someone who has a different view than me, have a question. Is the following hypothetical bullying:

Just once I want one of these victim-blaming headlines to be phrased accurately: “Everyone With Any Real Power Over The Economy Has Purposely Made it So Young People Have No Spending Money”
“So the plan is to replace all their jobs with AI”
Five minutes later: “what do you mean, broke people don’t spend as much?”

Finally just banning the plastic bags instead of creating the loophole where they replaced all the plastic bags with way thicker ones that use even more material but have “reusable” printed on them.
Starting January 1, California will implement a major change at grocery stores around the state as part of an environmental push.

That's not shows - that's ACTS. Sometimes there are 3-4 acts a night. This is an incredible slice of live music.
