How long was that cable, 14 words?
The State Department sent out the cable with instructions on immigration diplomacy last Thursday night. Earlier that day, it sent a separate cable to U.S. diplomats telling them that instances of foreign governments supporting illegal or mass migration should be included in the annual country human rights reports being written now, two State Department officials said. One of the officials said the immigration diplomacy cable was sent to U.S. missions in countries that have a “shared Western civilization” with the United States and are close allies. Cables on addressing immigration problems in Latin America and other regions will soon be sent to missions there, he said.

wait what
Ms. Johnson revealed that her husband "eats almost everything except cranberry sauce, mayonnaise and bananas," which could have been viewed as subtly undermining of Ms. Miller, who revealed on the debut episode of her podcast that [Stephen] Miller eats only mayonnaise. Literally.

Sometimes it's the little things
A pair of brown Clarks chukka boots; the left one is unpolished and a little sad looking. The right one has a first coat of polish and is looking much better in a richer brown. The boots with two coats of polish, lightly buffed. It's a huge improvement.

"We have more Russians than you have rounds" -Russian military strategy since time immemorial
According to Lawrence Freedman, emeritus professor of war studies at King’s College London, Putin seems to be relying on Ukraine running out of military personnel, leading to the collapse of the front.

This is so bleak
I asked Offit if he saw a way to reverse the public's rising distrust in science. "I don't think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost," he said.

Facts are so annoying
Amid pushback on CIA action from lawyers in the late spring, the administration forged ahead with an alternative plan that was already under discussion: to use the U.S. military. And it came up with a legal justification that national security law experts inside and out of government have said does not stand up to facts: that the country was in a “non-international” armed conflict with “designated terrorist organizations.”

The largest investment by PIF this autumn was bid for a controlling stake in the world's largest video game maker, Electronic Arts. PIF's representatives say it's a long-term investment that will eventually double in value. People close to the fund point to another motivating factor: Prince Mohammed is an avid gamer.

Already replaced the mineral crystal with sapphire (with a cyclops), now the bezel insert
The case with the bezel insert removed and sitting off to the side. I used a razor blade to get it off after soaking it in alcohol while I worked on the hands.

Imagine being the publisher who reviewed this and said "yep, looks good"
When people describe the world by appealing to black-and-white morality, they tend to reveal more about themselves than anything else. For many, such language suggests that they hold their own views to be unimpeachable and the other side’s to be irredeemable. But moral clarity, like beauty, is perishable and—at least in practice—subjective. Many of the protesters who assaulted police officers in the summer of 2020, for example, did so with the same ethical certitude as those who stormed the Capitol in January 2021. Both groups believed they were redressing an injustice—one racial, one electoral—that too many others wouldn’t acknowledge. Both groups evinced a kind of moralism that blinded rather than clarified, eliminating the possibility of persuasion, compromise, or open debate.

The knock on Milaysia at South Carolina was always her defense—not her ability, but her effort and focus on that end. If Kim Mulkey had unlocked that with her, watch the fuck out.

Well it says the Italians got it from a Slovenian documentary, but, uh, I have questions about this sourcing
Even before its premiere in the Bosnian capital on Saturday, Slovenian screenwriter and director Miran Zupanic's new film 'Sarajevo Safari' caused sharply divided reactions in the country. The story plot is based on the testimony of an unnamed former intelligence officer, who at the time was working as an agent for "an important American agency", according to Zupanic.
