FBI Director Kash Patel sued the Atlantic & a reporter for defamation, alleging they recklessly disregarded truth in suggesting FBI officials are concerned his drinking compromises his ability to do his job. Here’s the breakdown you need to understand the complaint. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Highly recommend
Must read.... from authors of a 2015 article in the @altantic. Written in 2018, the current parallels are uncanny. 5/5 stars

Went to a workshop this morning & one of the “fireside chat” speakers was former CDC Director Dr Mandy Cohen & it was painful to hear her say it’s going to take “generations” to undo the damage & rebuild CDC—she reflected on the amazing outbreak experts, eg Marburg experts, at CDC when she ran it
Following all! Let's fucking gooooooo!

US Southern Command: On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED
We murdered three more people in boats today
Absolutely incredible.
NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.
Watch with sound on.
Update: I just found the photographer. His name is
Yifan Ling and you can find lots of photos in his instagram account, all of them of Orcas. He loves killer whales as much as I do. Look him up. (Ling.j39) I turned this to a Seattle poster.
Screenshot of an X post from @clashreport: Trump posted a video of Frank Sinatra performing “My Way”. “And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain… Regrets, I’ve had a few / But then again, too few to mention… I did it my way.”
I do AV work for a funeral home and this is one of the most common song choices. It seems to be one of those songs that elderly boomers and silent generation folks turn to as they’re thinking about death.
I miss when politics were boring and I didn't know the names of all the cabinet members.
I am sick of reading this shit.
Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
Palantir used to have affinity groups and DEI as late as 2022, and I had the logos saved on my phone because they pissed me off so much and of course they buried those pages. But I never forgot.

All the supporters, I believe, live in Idaho.
In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

Ummmm..... he just said they are helping Russia since Iran can't make their weapons any longer. I am going to lose my fucking mind.
I don't remember ever feeling the need to say, "I know they're proud of me......."
