Politics are not a terribly accurate way to predict how a person will behave at an ethical crossroads; a far more accurate predictor is relative proximity to power.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

So is this what happened over Ireland?
"Seven German journalism students tracked Russian-crewed freighters lurking off the Dutch and German coast—and connected them to drone swarms over military bases."
Well done by the students. How come the authorities didn't figure this out? Or did they just not tell us about it?

Episode 2 of The Peripheral re-watch and it's so so great. I so wish we'd got a second season.

The beginning of the end
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

I am neither in favour of capital nor corporal punishment, but if RFK Jr was put in the stocks for a week and pelted with rotting fruit, bits of dead animal and used condoms from a leper colony, I wouldn't shed a single darned tear.

If you tell your employee not to smoke around the kerosene tanks and every time you walk outside they're smoking around the kerosene tanks, you'd fire their ass.
So why do members of congress get a pass?
