The president used both days of the weekend to spend hours at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida.
He also attended a closed-door fundraiser for his MAGA Inc. super PAC at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Saturday night.
Last weekend, Trump played golf at another of his South Florida properties a day after witnessing the dignified transfer for six U.S. soldiers killed in the Iran war. That death toll rosethis past week.
Trump is increasingly complaining about mediacoverage o…

The family of Birmingham, Alabama, pilot Alex Klinner confirms he was killed in the crash. The family says Klinner had recently been promoted to major and been…

For today's #silentsunday I am thinking about wether I want to go to this place and take a similar photo (just now in winter) ... OR go to the place seen in the photo. 🤔
I might also have to check the nature & wildlife protection zones first.
Anyways - enjoy the rest of your sunday.
Oh, I even wrote a blog post about it:

Continuing my Resident Evil rewatch as it's been a lot of years, starting 2007's Extinction today. And I still wonder, all these years later, why the T-virus turned forests into deserts as it spread across Earth. Did it like, jump from mammals to trees? I dunno, man 😂

skinnylatte@hachyderm.io - So many people here are like, oh I wish I could move to (another country, that is also having a hard far right turn, and anti-immigrant horrors, just in a language they don’t speak)
It’s totally fine to feel you need to get away for safety and yes white cis Americans will likely face less of a threat in many places
However
I’m so irritated by the pretense that all of the current problems in the world are limited to US borders. We are going through a rough time of it.. but a lot of these problems are structurally global. ‘America is the worst’ is also a form of American exceptionalism.

Two Episcopal bishops say clergy may have to put 'bodies on the line' to resist ICE

"We're told that if we don't say yes, we're driving away the future. But that's a false choice. A big employer who uses the water of 50,000 people…[but] only hires about 10 people is not an employer. They are an extraction. We are being asked to fund a 21st century luxury with a 19th century resource heist."

Getting marketing spam from airlines is the weirdest thing ever. Like are there people who get an email from Delta and just go "oh I think I'll book a flight to Paris for next week for no reason"??
If I fly somewhere it's because I have a reason to be there, usually because I am speaking at a conference or am visiting a customer. Nothing the airline spams me with will magically conjure up a presentation or client.

When Joseph Stalin took the stage, applause wasn’t just standard. It meant your freedom. 
As the crowd thundered with cheers, no one dared to break first.
Not after two minutes. Not after four. Not after six.
As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in “The Gulag Archipelago,” “It was becoming insufferably silly even to those who adored Stalin.” 
Finally, after 11 minutes, one man
— the director of a paper factory
— broke the spell.
And with that one act o…

Who will be the first to take off their shoes?
Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes. 

Claude, the AI model developed by Anthropic, was used by the US military during its operation to kidnap Nicolšs Maduro from Venezuela,
a high-profile example of how the US defence department is using artificial intelligence in its operations.
The US raid on Venezuela involved bombing across the capital, Caracas, and the killing of 83 people, according to Venezuela’s defence ministry.
Anthropic’s terms of use prohibit the use of Claude for violent ends, for the development o…
