Drone tech has so many incredible applications for so many industries and if you want to make any sort of living you have to work for an illiterate Nazi pervert dweeb who collects erotic anime figurines.
It genuinely does suck and is *bad* that it feels like there’s almost nowhere to go for people who 1. Want to work on robotics (like drones) and 2. Don’t want to build weapons.
Walter Koenig's wishes were that he be cremated, his ashes put into a funerary wessel, and he be interred in William Shatner's mailbox, so Shatner would only be able to ignore him one day a week.
SCOOP: The CDC's deputy director is leaving.
Jen Shuford, an infectious-disease physician who had been Texas's health commissioner, was hired to help restore trust in CDC. Now she's out after six months.

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."
The Justice Department is drawing up contingency plans to potentially intervene in next week’s midterm elections, three national security officials tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-prep-...
NEW: As expected, on a 2-1 vote, the Ninth Circuit dismisses DOJ's appeal in the US v. California case over DOJ's claims relating to "likely noncitizen" voting. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
NEW: In rare Sunday arguments, appeals court judges skeptical of DOJ’s California election lawsuit.
The lawsuits in California and Alaska are expected to fail — but they also show how far A.G. Todd Blanche will go to advance Trump’s aims.
Tonight, at Law Dork:
If voter fraud happened at anywhere near the scale they keep claiming it does, paying out rewards like this would bankrupt the country.
This is how you know they know it’s not a real problem.
Trump: "I'm also going to be issuing a $1 million bonus or reward or whatever you want to call it for anybody that reports voter fraud, leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody. We're giving that person $1 million."
The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”
My Portuguese might be a little rusty, but to all my Brazilian followers I’d like to say: “You’ve reached your monthly usage limit. Purchase more credits to continue using Claude”
Meanwhile, pro-democracy, pro-Europe protesters in Tbilisi, Georgia, are tonight nearing their 700th consecutive day of protest against the pro-Russian government.
They haven't missed a single day in the last 23 months.
In his (rather dubious) defense, Republican voters have shown him again and again that they love bigotry more than the constitution, the country, the troops, their jobs, drinking water, affordable food, their dignity, their own families, and even their own lives.
Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans
Roberts *explicitly* stated that POTUS has immunity even for directing a “sham” prosecution or one with an improper purpose or motivation. He can also promise to pardon anyone who follows his orders. As AG says, what’s the downside, for anyone?
Why wouldn’t he admit it? The Supreme Court immunized this kind of stuff. It’s why Jack Smith had to take the Jeffrey Clark/DOJ/Trump conspiracy out of his Jan 6 indictment.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.
JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story.

This cartoon of mine is shortlisted for the European Cartoon Award. I'm pretty happy with that. Not sure quite what the cartoons were judged on, but the fact it seems to be relevant EVERY SINGLE DAY must help.
im no big money political consultant or anything but im not sure “children lie about being raped for attention” is the most compelling midterm closing message for republicans
Republican candidate’s campaign website accidentally publishes AI prompt: “The president is not popular, so all messaging should be focused on local politics and needs."

Think our effort to address the damage done by DOGE Is over?
Not at all! We just won summary judgment proving that they abused our data
And we are also litigating in fed court on behalf of the countless people they injured at USAID
NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery.
Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units.
The investigation died.
We unearthed it:

Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton, Mike Collins, Roger Marshall, on and on - everywhere you look the most despicable humans financed by a handful of billionaires and elevated by Trump want you to give them even more political power to serve their interests at your expense.
I feel like no one told me and definitely no one asked my permission when "compute" became a noun. Like I'm a friend to all nerds. But this was a little out of hand. And shld have been reined in.
