Garland indicted Russians, but #TFG, #Musk, many R lawmakers... are Russian assets, & increasingly speak for Putin. TFG touts Musk's plans to destroy the fed govt:

Trump is embracing a proposal by Musk for the creation of a govt efficiency commission.

He'll speak before the Economic Club of NY today, in which he is expected to say the commission will undertake “a complete FIN & performance audit of the entire fed govt & make “recommendations for drastic reform.”

Due to a combination of factors like increasing living costs & the growth of female employment, the percent of single-income households with children in 2023 has dropped to 30.5%, per YF

Words of resistance and conflict are not hate speech.

Après avoir refusé de nommer la candidate du Nouveau Front Populaire (193 députés), Macron préfère donc nommer le LR (47 députés) Michel Barnier au poste de Premier ministre.

Le Président a décidé de jeter le résultats des élections législatives à la poubelle.

Tout ça pour ça.
Jamais un chef de gouvernement sous ce régime n'avait eu si peu de légitimité pour mener une politique.

Après une dissolution, une campagne chaotique, et une victoire de la gauche, on aboutit donc à un gouvernement de droite qui ne peut compter que sur l'extrême-droite pour subsister.

Détail très important dans le CV du nouveau Premier ministre Michel Barnier : en 1981, il a voté *contre* la dépénalisation de l'homosexualité.

Macron reste dans une continuité qu'on lui connait bien depuis 2017 en nommant toujours et encore des personnalités homophobes aux postes de responsabilité.

How the hell did they even get on that side of the cordon? Everytime I see the sentinals at Arlington they will _ruin_ you if you even look like you're gonna step under/over that cordon.

when you can't accept accountability anything that makes you uncomfortable is someone else's fault or a lie. Such is #Trump's psyche.

I will be in Utah in November for a conference (yes, it's #kubecon time already ⏰) and somehow it has become a habit that I always check to see if there are any good #running events in the area.

And that's how I came across the #DeadHorseUltra in #Moab. Has anyone from our illustrious group ever run this race 😁?

Any insights and/or tips? Thanks in advance 😎

I’ve done the 50K twice. Before you do anything else check the drive time between your conference and Moab, Utah isn’t small. The course is mostly slick rock so expect some pounding on your legs. Moab is gorgeous, if you do decide to run try and tack on an extra day for sightseeing

@Dave3307 thx Dave, that sounds good!! Mostly slick rock is good to know, will have to use different shoes then.

The conference is in Salt Lake City and the drive to Moab is about 4 hours, so I plan to stay there for at least two days. Thx again!

Guy Cochrane talking about granularity, likening genomics data to the telephone. Individual datasets don’t have much value until you connect and aggregate many datasets to allow you compare them to each other #MDCSummit

#Gaza #Palestine
#IsraelWarCrimes

By expanding illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank and refusing to consider Palestinian self-determination, “we’re watching a situation that will recur” in the Middle East, argues former US ambassador to Israel, Daniel Kurtzer.

Kurtzer tells host Steve Clemons that the war in Gaza “uncovered a weakness on the part of the United States in dealing with an extreme government in Israel”.
