Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

don’t love shooting a missile at a boat that appears to be just chugging along harming nobody (and, if it contained drugs, could’ve easily been interdicted). really don’t love posting satellite snuff footage of it on social media.

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? DOJ: That's what I've been told Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.

A photo of Jim O'Neil getting sworn in by RFK Jr. You can see a close-up of his tie. The same tie on Otaa's website. The site shows the tie is made from 100% microfiber. The label for Otaa'a ties. It says The back of the label. It says

This painting is classic Lost Cause revisionism; it was commissioned after Truman ordered desegregation of the military. Army Secretary Gordon Gray was a nepobaby (daddy was chair of RJ Reynolds) who led the dubious "Gray Board" that yanked Oppenheimer's clearance. Real piece of work all around.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: - data centers pollute our environment - energy use drives up costs - content theft robs creators of income - the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages - using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence - the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

Not only are private prison corporations receiving billions in tax payer dollars to run migrant detention centers, but these private facilities far too frequently operate with a profit margin in mind. It’s far too easy for standards to slip. apnews.com/article/trum...
