Hochul to Seek New Oversight, but Won’t Remove Adams for Now Gonna be up to the voters. Yeah, figured after hear more about the actual process last night and how it's subject to legal challenge that could and probably would be taken all the way to the supreme court that there's no way it would work anyway.

Yep, goodbye FBI... hello Gestapo. And hey, what happened to McConnell the rebel? Heh, announces he's not running again and then goes right back to his old ways supporting probably the most dangerous of all the nominees. Guess he got tired of the act or just figured no one was buying it. Not that his vote would have been enough, or that any of the republicans including Collins and Murkowski would have voted no if it could have ever possibly blocked the confirmation. Make no mistake, there's not a sliver of independence left in the republican party anymore.

"It’s clearly a hate crime, but how exactly does it get classified? Anti-Arab or anti-Palestinian (which it was)? Or, antisemitic, as the victims themselves described the attack? After all, antisemitism, like Islamophobia, is wrong and rooted in the same instincts bringing us all down." How about just anti-all sense and reason. Hate is hate. Doesn't matter whether it ends up directed at the intended target or not. In the end, violence begets violence, so all that makes this story unique is the idiot accidentally skipped a step and jumped to the retribution part.

Yeah, I was thinking I might be reading too much into the description they were giving on this one and that the actual text of the order might be a bit different than what they were describing. It's still bad, but not at bad as I thought then. Actually, looking at it again I really just misread it and ignored the instead of part in there. That's my bad.

Wow, so not only does this one pretty much blatantly violate the first amendment to free speech, it's also clearly an attempt to seize the power of the judicial branch to interpret the law and make it the sole power of the president and attorney general. Guess he's trying to top himself for his all time most illegal EO yet. He must be really planning on taking Bondi as his next wife or at least make her his mistress to include her in this. Most king's had mistresses right? There's at least one precedent I bet he wouldn't mind following.

I wonder, if/when AI enables us to communicate with the orca someday, what will be the first thing they end up telling us. Probably something like "stop throwing all your trash in our home!" Heh, that's interesting that they've discovered that different groups of them have developed their own distinct dialects. Even if we could talk with them, not really sure what there is we could tell them though, given we live worlds apart. We probably have a lot more to learn from them than they do from us when it comes to the oceans.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/federal-workers-exceptional-reviews-fired-performance-issues-rcna192347 Letters went out to dozens of probationary employees in at least one section of the Department of Transportation that said part of the reason they were being fired was for poor performance, according to a copy of the letter obtained by NBC News. But as a source familiar and a secondary document viewed by NBC News laid out, most of those employees were rated as being “exceptional” performers by their supervisors. That's the thing though. It was because of their performance.That's exactly why they got the axe... it's because they were doing such a good job. Having folks like that around makes all the incompetent ones in charge look bad. Of course they had to go. Seriously, is anybody really shocked or surprised by this?

Mass Casualty Aircraft Collision Thread

https://abcnews.go.com/International/delta-flight-incident-arrival-toronto-airport-passengers-crew/story?id=118903345 Plane from Minneapolis landed in Toronto, upside down... without its wings. Somehow nobody died but a number of people were injured. The world really is getting turned on its head. Hard not to see this as like a symbolic message of some sort. -
Actually, I was curious about this, so did some checking and seems some mammals can smell underwater. Star-nosed moles and water shrews. They accomplish the feat by basically blowing bubbles out their nostrils and sucking it back in right away. It's also now believed baleen whales, which includes humpbacks, may use their sense of smell to help them locate food by detecting the gas dimethyl sulfide that's released by phytoplankton. To do so they have to come to the surface though, unlike the moles and water shrews. Toothed whales, like the orca, it seems however don't have the olfactory organs or brain lobe for smelling, so sad to say after all looks like the theory of them being attracted to the yachts' smell is in fact, pardon the pun, dead in the water.

Yeah, pretty sure it's been mentioned before. Although, I think it was also suggested Blackbeard may have found a way to take powers and give them to others who already have them or something.- 32 replies

Sounds fairly reasonable. Although, another possible explanation I didn't think about till just now, but maybe it's not that the enemies are so tough so much as maybe Mash is just cranking down his power when directly attacking people so he doesn't go and like accidentally murder someone. Kind of like how Superman has to reign in his power for fear of going too far someday and killing someone.

Yeah, or maybe it's just anime. LOL I mean, he can break through solid walls of thick rock with his fists, if they were being logically consistent he could KO anyone with a single punch. I think it's just they don't want to make it that easy for him to beat everyone, so for whatever reason the more powerful mages seem to have sturdier bodies as well.

Barely even hurt him at all. The heck? Gotta say it makes no sense a society that depends on magic would have so many guys that are able to take even one hit from Mash without being hurt bad.

Awfully nice of the villain to conveniently stop attacking Mash there for a bit so he could monologue. LOL

Has he got a death wish now. I don't know how else to read this other than him saying it's not illegal anymore for people to take him out. And I don't mean to dinner.

Wait, only a 2.3% chance it'll hit, and even if if does not until 2032? Plus, it's not even a planet killer? Pffft. Great, now I gotta return all the end of the world party supplies I went and rushed out to buy. The way things are going, it's almost certain we'll all have done ourselves in before then anyway.
