Ryan Goodman has the right frame and the NBC reporting fills in the piece that makes this more than a pattern story. Hegseth pressed Army Secretary Driscoll for months to pull these officers. Driscoll said no. So Hegseth did it himself, without the legal authority to selectively remove individual names - the system is specifically designed to prevent that. When Gen. Randy George asked to meet and discuss the blocked promotions, Hegseth refused. Then fired him. Mid-term, two years before his tenure was up. Nine officials. All four branches. “Not a single service has been immune.” The Pentagon called it fake news. They haven’t disputed a name.

Hegseth purge of Black and women officers larger than previously reported "Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for MORE THAN A DOZEN Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military." nbcnews.com/politics/natio…

@mateosfo @KelseyTuoc 800 is a drop in the bucket of total cars driven. The reasonable scope of analysis woukd be the drop itself vs non-drop water, not (yet) the bucket as a whole. If in the entire US, only 800 san franciscan cars had air-bags; it would be obtuse to judge by comparing city vs city

@KelseyTuoc What a strange thing to believe. San Francisco has more Waymos than any city on earth (800) and has had a similar number of traffic deaths as DC since 2023. Why do people believe Waymos reduce traffic deaths?

Since @politicalmath specifically asked to be corrected, here's a correction (figures, links, github below). Summary: * An independent analyst has replicated and verified the Politico chart * The gap still exists whether you use states with all D Senators and Governor, majority Dem Sen/Gov, or just Dem Gov * The gap still exists if you use natural disasters or all requests * Even with the small sample size, the difference is statistically significant * Trump himself specifically says he's doing this. When he denies aid, his press team will say things like "we're doing this because they shelter illegals". When he gives aid, he points out how often the state voted for him.

I asked where this data came from and I got no good answers so I went looking for myself. I'm really skeptical about this data so I'll walk through what I found and ask @JeremiahDJohns to correct my errors 🧵

A fun corruption hack is to have your supporters sue the govt for something done under Biden, then immediately give them a huge settlement since you control the Justice Department. Perfectly 'legal' and can be done an unlimited amount of times. Money printer for loyal goons.

We have the setup for Andy Weir's next book. Because [reason] we need to get to that Apollo 10 LM and get the software or else [disaster]. But on getting to it, [other disaster] occurs and now [astronaut/s] must return to Earth on the old LM.
Scott Manley@DJSnM

Space software archaeologists have managed to get copies of many versions of the Apollo Guidance Computer source code. But there's one interesting gap. The Apollo 10 LM code is reconstructed from known changes. But the final version does exist in a known location. On Snoopy, the Apollo 10 LM which is in a heliocentric orbit, the core ropes should still be readable even after 50 years if anyone wants to get the real thing.

@LevraisFractal How is it anti-imperialist if the oppressed Fremen people turn out to be worse than their oppressors once they gain power? It's much closer to a "both sides are bad actually" cynical story.

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

FIRE@TheFIREorg·
Brendan Carr’s authoritarian warning — that networks risk their broadcasting licenses for Iran war reporting that the government doesn’t like — is outrageous. When the government demands the press become a state mouthpiece under the threat of punishment, something has gone very wrong. In 2019, Carr said: “Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not. The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the ‘public interest.’” But today, Carr cites the “public interest” to blatantly threaten news outlets because the president doesn’t like their reporting. Again and again, Carr’s tenure as FCC chairman has been marked by his shameless willingness to bully and threaten our free press. But even by Carr’s standards, today’s hypocrisy is shocking — and dangerous. The American people demand uncensored news about the men and women serving in our armed forces. Our right to a free press is one of the core American freedoms those in uniform have sworn to support and defend. It is long past time for our government officials to remember their own oaths to uphold the Constitution — starting with the First Amendment.
Brendan Carr@BrendanCarrFCC

Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

Not trying to be rude, but the only victim in this case is the child who was murdered. (We’re missing the part where these parents put a higher value on a typical child than the child with disabilities. Let that sink in for a minute.)

Review into pregnancy termination case after couple wrongly told their unborn son had a fatal foetal abnormality -@eilishor HSE appoints counsel to carry out inquiry into care provided to Rebecca Price and Pat Kiely during Ms Price’s pregnancy and following the loss of their baby Christopher in 2019 HSE chief Bernard Gloster met with Ms Price and Mr Kiely last November and gave them a full apology on behalf of the health service for the devastating loss of their baby Christopher following their care at the National Maternity Hospital in Holles Street in 2019. Mr Gloster said: “Following my meeting with Rebecca and Pat late last year, I committed to commencing an independent external review of their case to understand fully what happened in relation to the care provided to them and ensure learning across our services. The High Court heard the defendants – consultants Peter McParland, Fionnuala McAuliffe, Rhona Mahony, Shane Higgins and Stephen Carroll who operate under a business partnership called the Merrion Foetal Health Clinic, as well as the National Maternity Hospital and a Glasgow laboratory – conceded liability in full and the only issue now before the court is an assessment of damages. #BabyChristopher #NMH independent.ie/irish-news/rev…
