So our Dear Leader #Trump has declared that (a) he's perfectly happy to unilaterally impose a #Putin -pleasing "peace" on #Ukraine because (b) they shouldn't have "started the war" and (c) should have ended the war much sooner and (d) btw Ukraine should be required to hold elections to vote #Zelensky out.

As always, the question is whether the man is deluded, manipulated, or just an asshole. Also, how America will ever hold its head up again.

I am always fascinated by the determination of some outlets to paint everything #Marvel or #Disney does as a "flop" if it's not an unmitigated industry-changing success. And sometimes even then.

" #Musk and #DOGE are providing a real-time management case study. Unfortunately, all of the lessons are about what not to do. The quickest way to improve your #management skills is to look at what DOGE is doing, and do the complete opposite."

There are apparently no depths to the brown-nosing the Trumpists are willing to humiliate themselves with. In this installment: "Let's make Donald #Trump's birthday a federal holiday!"

(In the interest of preventing public waste of money, I presume that some other federal holiday would be chopped. Probably one of those "DEI" ones.)

Went to see the new #CaptainAmerica #BraveNewWorld film last night. Had quite the good time. It's not peak MCU, but it's better than some of the more recent films (which I still thought were okay).

An interesting story from #China where #ElonMusk has been suing the snot out of anyone -- journalist or car owner -- who publicly criticizes the safety of #Tesla vehicles. And winning.

"Tesla has pioneered an aggressive legal strategy and leveraged the patronage of powerful leaders in China’s ruling Communist Party to silence critics, reap financial rewards and limit its accountability."

Meanwhile, in the US ...

Yes, just what we need: everyone's least favorite US Senator, Ted Cruz, trying to stay relevant by hunting down wrongthink "woke" #NSF grant applications.

I desperately hope that I live long enough for this particular era of American history to be laughed off as the last gasp of Mad Nationalist Disease.

«A GOP congressman has announced new legislation to bolster Donald Trump’s efforts to take over Greenland, while also giving the autonomous Danish territory a new name: “Red, White, and Blueland.”»

English lessons are going to be tough if we ban the word "pronouns."

Science class is going to lead some results if people don't learn about "confirmation bias."

A lot of historical and patriotic documents are going to need to be shredded if "injustice" and "equality" have to be excised.

For the life of me, I can't think of why anyone would pay any attention to what #JDVance has to say about #AI.

Or why he expects the #EU to deregulate tech companies because regulation makes #Trump angry.

#Hegseth 's memo on "pausing" anything #trans -related in the US #military. Key paragraph:

"The Department must ensure it is building 'One Force' without subgroups defined by anything other than ability or mission adherence. Efforts to split our troops along lines of identity weaken our Force and make us vulnerable. such efforts must not be tolerated or accommodated."

Of course, this comes in a memo that *explicitly* singles out a subgroup on something other than ability and mission adherence.
