Learned a lot in this long thread
Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

I love Hammerstein’s matrix, always applicable. Looks like he was also a great man.
Indeed you may have encountered some of Hammerstein's (he dropped the aristocratic 'von' at this point) leadership principles in management studies.
They're characteristically blunt and on point. They formed the basis for his wholesale overhaul proposals for the Weimar Republic's army. /7

Chilling.
The actual conspiracy theory is that multiple women independently lied, with apparently nothing to gain, and much to lose, about Trump’s entanglement with Epstein. katemanne.substack.com/p/the-actual...

@moderation.bsky.app , time to review policies?
Dear fellow Bluesky users: I have now run a test that indicates the following possible rules applied by the content filters:
-Female nipples = sexually suggestive
-Male nipples = not sexually suggestive
-Female nipples = sexually suggestive
-Male nipples = not sexually suggestive
After my complaints about flagging of ostensibly "suggestive" images on here, received suggestion that Bluesky's algorithms may have a "nipple trigger" (great neologism!) so I'm testing to see if & how it's gendered (John Singer Sargent & Paul Cadmus portrait of Jared French). Let's see how it goes-

Over the last year or so I've seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train. Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who didn't really surprise anyone—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Elon Musk (pre-fallout)—but the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs listen to their podcasts, read their posts and books, and slowly nod along to the idea that democracy is holding back innovation.

This piece on Boeing’s quality control is insane. If even a tenth of it is true it shows that the rot at Boeing is such that the company is not salvageable.
The latest from our star Boeing reporter Maureen Tkacik: turns out a whistleblower said it would take 10-12 years for 787s to start failing. The one that crashed into an Indian hospital today was built in 2014. prospect.org/economy/2025...
One of the Dreamliners That Gave a Boeing Manager Nightmares Just Crashed
Whistleblowers always warned that passengers would pay a price for Boeing’s tyrannical corner-cutting, especially with the planes shipped overseas.
