In Kari Lake's opening testimony for tomorrow's HFAC hearing she'll claim VOA, RFE/RL & other US-funded int'l broadcasters must be destroyed because of alleged security lapses + wasteful spending. Under that metric, we'd also have to get rid of State Dept., the military & many other USG agencies!

You’re thinking about studying abroad, or teaching, or working as a doctor or nurse. The country you have in mind, though, asserts the right to use masked armed agents to snatch up foreign visitors regardless of whether they have committed any crimes and render them to prisons anywhere in the world.

By the way, as a condition of entry, they demand every social-media handle you’ve used in the past five years.

What do you think? Maybe not?

Narcissists do not grow. They do not change. They do not learn from their mistakes because in their mind they are not capable of mistakes. They just blame everyone else for the messes they make. This has always been who Trump is. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-explodes-as-his-ceasefire-unravels-they-dont-know-what-the-f-theyre-doing/

Bomb science 101:

I give you a momentary reprieve from the madness:

The Vera Rubin Observatory has taken its first images of the sky, and they are *extraordinary*. Mind blowing detail, jaw dropping beauty.

We are under seige in #LA:

A suspected fed. agent is seen exiting a Dodge Charger @ an intersection & pointing his gun @ members of the public. Acc. to #Pasadena officials, the vehicle's license plate is a "cold plate," or untraceable, which is typically used by law enforcement in undercover criminal operations. "One question is this a law enforcement agent or someone pretending to be a law enforcement agent, & there is no good answer" (Mayor Gordo).

Loyalty trumps experience in this alternate timeline we're living through.

“If you can rent Venice for your wedding, you can pay more tax.” 👀 Protest banner targeting Jeff Bezos luxury wedding in Italy.

If you still don't see the danger of SCOTUS letting Trump deny people due process of law & instead arbitrarily deport them to third countries without regard to their health, safety, or prison conditions in that third country—then you still don't understand why Hitler built camps in third countries.

You’ve probably met Torx, the star-shaped screw that has become common in our phones, consoles, and cars. But have you met Torx Plus? It's the high-tech upgrade nobody told you about: straighter walls, zero cam-out, and way more torque transfer. Sounds great, until you try to open your gadget and realize your trusty T5 doesn’t fit anymore.

We explain the difference between Torx and Torx Plus on our blog: https://www.ifixit.com/News/110702/torx-plus-the-high-tech-screw-hiding-in-our-gadgets
