Look the White House/War Department cannot reasonably have been expected to anticipate the Iranians would deploy sea mines.

Thanks, guys. Y'all are really good at this. :)

It has been too long since I last read one of your, "Well." quips. I did appreciate that.

This watermark graffiti by street artist Mathieu Tremblin is, like, the best thing ever.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesive—because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about “Western civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Hiring decisions are the most important decisions you make.
They have a huge impact on your organisation and can be hard or impossible to undo if you choose unwisely, or are just unlucky.
... and then I see this. Oh dear.

A closeup of a small section of the Helix Nebula, an expanding shell of gas and dust. Thousands of orange and gold comet-like pillars stream upward from the bottom, like thin liquid blown up a sheet of glass. These pillars are around the circumference of the arced shell, which forms a partial orange semi-circle at the bottom. The pillars are more numerous and denser at the bottom, and darker red. They fade to orange and then yellow in the arc. In the top two-thirds, they are thinner and more golden, and it’s easier to see the black background of space. Several bright blue stars, some with diffraction spikes, are scattered throughout. A few larger stars are on the right side.
