Awesome Donut, which is one of the rare donut shops in west Texas that is open after noon, will be opening a second location. They're renovating the old Holiday Cleaners right behind the Stripes outside the GAFB north gate. Amusingly, the other donut shop that is open "late" is on base - Dunkin.

I remember buying the first issue of Wired at Bay Books in Monterey (closed in 2007). It was a heady time, with Tim Berners-Lee and Bruce Sterling and Nicholas Negroponte all promoting an optimistic vision of the future.
Dude keeps taking dementia tests. Are the doctors documenting his obvious mental decline for a post-mortem?
Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

Just because the kidnappings haven't been making the major news reports, doesn't mean ICE isn't still out there abducting people and sending them to random places. The cruelty is the point.
ICE Is detaining West African women, some of whom have been in New York for decades, with plans to send them to countries they have no connection to.
Gee, what a weird thing. Probably no reason to look into whether he's recently bought up a bunch of domains ending with the SI domain. That would be crazy. techcrunch.com/2026/10/02/s...

"[W]e must address the structural mechanisms that have allowed civilian academic norms to dilute our focus on lethality,” Hegseth said. English? Lethal! Social studies? Lethal!

Protecting child predators, facilitating extra-judicial murders, jacking up everyone's prices through tariffs and military misadventures all so that Donald Trump can get rich and he doesn't yell at you is a hell of a closing message. But totally on brand for Mr. Johnson.
Mike Johnson on what Republicans will do if they hold the House: "What we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already"

Which Democrats have any control of the US government and budget?
Trump: "Because of tariffs, we are taking in hundreds of billions of dollars of profits. It's one of the reasons I can offer, if Republicans win the House and Senate, $5,000 to every adult. We can do it and the Democrats can't, because the Democrats don't have any income."

I question the sanity of the publishers who green-lit calling a game "The Game."
New comic! There’s a fine line between a memorable game title and something completely impossible to Google. 😅 ➡️ What’s your favorite short-titled game? 📜 You can read this week's blog post at: semicoop.com/comic/brief-search/ #boardgames
The museum has a 1.2 BILLION dollar endowment, but Drexel University will continue managing that endowment after closing the museum. Seems like a bullshit move to me. creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st...

How can this company be so widely known and have such desirable IP, but be constantly about to go bankrupt?
Financially-troubled board game publisher CMON has secured a $19m injection of new capital as it battles to turn around years of heavy losses and dwindling cash reserves - which had left it with just $368,000 in bank and cash balances at the start of August: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

No one else in Trump's life gets the affection he heaps on authoritarian heads of state. Not his wife. Certainly not his kids. His degrading, tryhard desperation to join the club would be hilarious if he weren't the president.
Trump: "I met President Xi at the plane (Airport!) yesterday and he looks strong, vibrant, and fit - Better than ever. Madam Xi, of course, BEAUTIFUL! President DJT"

Any evaluation game is simply a metric. The real value is in all the wargames, experiences, lessons learned, and decisions that lead up to it. We need to think beyond a simple evaluation game, but an ecosystem of games and experiences to prepare leaders through every stage of their military careers.
