“Mr. DeSantis was a junior officer, who visited only for short stints and was tasked with what one fellow lawyer described as “scut work.” He would have had no reason to witness, and no power to authorize, a force feeding.”
DeSantis likely found untrue story politically helpful.
Link. Presumably parents pay on the side. There’s now a migration industry. The real question is why the military doesn’t change the government.
Link. The 80D gives better images, but the 15 Pro is the better camera for most uses. Only big telephoto (birding, sports) would justify a DSLR now.
Link. Schizophrenia causes immense amounts of pain to schizophrenics, family, and sometimes others. It deserves much more research.
Link. Over 65. The AC Is much appreciated. A tough crowd:
“Seventy, 75-year-olds are spring chickens,” he said. “Sixty-five-year-olds are basically children.”
Link. Just a taste of what is to come. Good for social security though.
Link. Student accepted. DeSantis is the ultimate troll but he can’t get any love from Trump’s party.
Link. How to talk about not invading Taiwan without actually using the word Taiwan.
Link. “G.O.P. lawmakers make provocative claims without concrete evidence, sowing a vague public narrative of nefarious conduct that turns out to be exaggerated — or simply false.”
Benghazi 2.0. It works.
Link. Patients who do this want to survive — but they are also doing it to help others in the future. The odds are very bad for now.
Link. “Aimee Harris, sold the diary to Project Veritas”
The evidence is overwhelming she knew she was stealing.
Link. Sane people recommend not updating until the fix is published.
Link. The Punan Batu appear to be descendants of a very early African diaspora and have an exotic language used in song. Photography is superb and respectful.
Link. A different kind of overbooking.
Link. Tracking the evolution of neurons.
Link. I suspect the fines are a pittance.
Link. Anecdote in animal language article. I think original recording is very old.
Link. Ugly.
Link. I suspect it’s not much of a may.

Link. By NYT historic standards it’s progress to declare that the House GOP is lying.
Link. The fraudulent academia industry is generating ChatGPT papers.
Link. He’s got a tool for most macOS gaps.
Link. I’m still traumatized by the Pawlenty years but few states have done so well. Arne Carlson was a Democrat in disguise.

Link. Letterman leaves some wiggle room around monopolies but I’m persuaded.
Link. This is getting close. I really want to replace 1Password. Maybe this year.
Link. A failure of leadership.
Link. Most of us are more cautious than Dyer in claiming proof of extraterrestrial “life”.

Link. Basically sucks. It’s a problem made for an AI solution.
Link. Anthropic’s Claude does a superb job.

Link. “I worry that, one way or another, Salesforce is paying Google to bypass Google’s email filters”.
Link. Only two OS per machine.
Link. A good overview. He thinks controls help.
