Beginning to feel like I need to budget a week on the blog for a military primer on 'how the US Navy is the load-bearing pillar of your ability to eat bananas and of folks in developing countries to eat at all.' Not saying that is an optimal situation, merely that it is the situation.
Bus 37, which was used as a makeshift field clinic, and a firefighter truck opening the annual commemorative march to remember August 2nd 1980 bombing at Bologna Centrale station, the deadliest terror attack of the Years of Lead. This year running on the freshly completed tram tracks.
As far as I can tell, this story is completely made up. I don't know if it's spam, misinformation, gaslighting, or what. But it's unsettling.

Was telling folks this weekend: NYC DOE calendar means school starts late (Sep 10), so everyone is going to have to manage their kids for almost a month between camp and school. Come Labor Day, there will be some unhinged takes about kids. This fact only strengthens that belief.

Aug. 2, 1926: The last of 14 escaped elephants are rounded up in Edmonton, Alberta, a day after they staged a breakout from the Sells-Floto Circus. The big beasts smash a chicken coop and fences, but cause only one injury, a circus manager who tried to stand in their way.
never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social · 5d agoIt’s worth repeating on a regular basis: the Trump administration’s corruption is truly unprecedented. I get why Trump is seeking bribes. What I’m less sure about is how the bribers think this will end. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/the-corrup...

Grind it, spice it with indian or lebanese flavors, and encase it before grilling. The breast may lack all conviction but a wurst can be full of passionate intensity.
Luke Kawa@ljkawa.bsky.social · 6d agoJust had chicken breast for the first time in I don’t know how long. What a joyless piece of meat.
Just got the following from Claude Opus 5: "which are the last two финансовых items with no answer at all" How worried should I be?
You need to also post that you “wouldn’t be surprised if the Fed cut today” to fully hedge.

What's new: the DSCC is spending in Florida. Not on the list: Montana, where public polling shows independent Seth Bodnar can beat Republican Kurt Alme in an open-seat race, but only if the Dem, Alani Bankhead,drops out. Deadline is August 9. The DSCC said it won't invest in MT if Bankhead stays in.
A new poll shared exclusively with Strength In Numbers finds independent candidate Seth Bodnar polling 6 points ahead of Republican Kurt Alme in a hypothetical one-on-one for Montana's Senate race, but the Democratic candidate Alani Bankhead trailing by 8. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-07-28...
To defeat Republicans, Democrats should stand down in places independents are more likely to win
