Incredibly, 29 of the 50 former military personnel who signed this letter accusing Tim Walz of misrepresenting his service, are at least as seriously misrepresenting their own service:

Sorry about the Musksite link; VoteVets hasn't posted it anywhere else yet:
The actual story is buried in the linked word "Variety". "comicsands.com" doesn't seem to know how to write an article.

If you have money you don't need mental health. Just ask RFK, Jr.
@davidallengreen I don't know how it works in the UK, but I think in the US, if the sign had contained material information about the case, true or false, the government might have had something.
@carlysagan There's infinite funding for dumping heat and CO2 into the atmosphere and essentially none for protecting the biological systems that remove it. There's infinite funding for manufacturing plastic goods and packaging but none for keeping it out of the oceans or even our very cells. It's all the same problem.
@JamesGleick (Arguably that's one of the reasons NASA is as competent as it is. Developing, coordinating and integrating a distributed project on that scale, for those stakes, requires an incredible process.)
@JamesGleick Agreed. Though of course we contracted with several hundred private companies to do it, we remained fully in charge.
@JamesGleick Still, wish someone else was building a reusable launch system. You know we were paying 80M a seat for rides on Soyuz rockets, right? I don't want to pay Musk. I want to pay Russia even less.

Allegedly, this is a new "Russian joke":
Putin has a nightmare because of events in Kursk, and the ghost of Stalin appears to him.
Putin pleads with Stalin: "The Nazis are invading Kursk! My army is retreating! What can I do?"
Stalin tells him: “Do just as I did in 1943! Send your best troops from Ukraine to the front, and get American supplies!"

This is just priceless:
Ukrainian soldiers have begun reviewing Russian restaurants and cafés on Google with wonderful compliments along the lines of
“Excellent food, but the parking spaces were too small for our Abrams tanks”,
and
“Great service, but the restaurant did not have tables for all 2,000 of us”,
etc., etc.
Enjoy Vladimir!

(Though in fairness that's what his reduces to. Most of the branches are expository in effect, for getting that message through a thick head.)
@aphyr
I occasionally deploy docker apps inside LXC guests that exist for no other purpose. In fact, that's very nearly the ONLY way I'll deploy them. The other way is on dedicated hardware.
I NEVER deploy docker apps on a system I use for any other purpose; least of all one running as an LXC host.
I'd simplify it even more:
"Do you understand the topic?
Yes: Write it yourself
No: Find something else to do with your time"
@BashStKid One thing that's definitely serendipitous is that it bounces a lot of yellowish light into the porch area, turning the white ceiling and trim a kind of golden color as well. Which I didn't anticipate and definitely increases the effect. And today's overcast. We'll see what the next sunny day brings out.
The housepainters are just finishing up. We went with a fairly subdued dark blue color, with the front steps and porch slab in a kind of sand or dijon. Now that I get to see the total effect, it's rather more Ukraine flag than you'd expect. I swear it was unintentional.
@dangillmor The NYT's main coverage nopes out, choosing instead to belabor the technical gliches to run out quite a few column inches before touching rather disingenuously on what happened after that.
Their live campaign stream did somewhat better:
@hope_n_beauty @dangillmor Yep, it keeps the focus interminably in the starting glitches, and tries its best to say nothing of how it went from there. Just disgraceful.
"If you're a retired F-16 pilot, your services may be wanted in Ukraine.
"That's according to Sen. Lindsey Graham, in comments made just after meeting with President Zelenskyy in Kyiv."

it's wild, right?
elections are run by states in the US, making it a total smorgasbord, or shitshow...depending on perspective
in some states the elections are run by an appointee (done by the governor), in other cases that person is elected. sometimes it's just the Sec. of State, sometimes it's an Election Board person. good times. in these disunited states
