"some drone strikes against Russian military targets “are being launched from inside Russian territory”...

Russian authorities said the attack, which “highly likely destroyed” a Russian bomber aircraft, was carried out by a so-called “helicopter-style” drone. The British Defense Ministry said those drones “are unlikely to have the range to reach [the air base] from outside Russia,” suggesting that the attack may have been launched inside Russia"

The Dunning-Kruger effect is so obvious when talking with parents about teaching.

But hey, #COVID is over, and everything is just fine. For the record, my college stopped masking and other measures months ago. (I got thoughts on that but will refrain).

Here is the response to Monday's Eleventh Circuit ruling from the lawyers for the Alabama families challenging the law: "Our clients are devastated by this decision .... While this is a setback, we are confident that it is only a temporary one."

This really isn't complicated.
ALL OF THEM. Without prejudice.

The FCC was empowered by Congress to regulate our media expressly to build a pro-democratic public debate.

Chair Rosenworcel: do not shrink from your job. There must be SOME character standard to hold a TV license, to serve the public. Intentional news distortion violates that.

We all face a responsibility to call out Fox’s toxic lies, that harm our country and our democracy. Our democratically-elected government has a role to play too. Let’s act.

@RickiTarr i like language. I use it almost every day

I’ve always had trouble with ear/sinus infections, but it feels like I’ve kept an ear infection and a bladder infection since I had Covid. I’ve had a theory for a while that the virus attacks us where we are most vulnerable for chronic illness, and exacerbates our weaknesses. When I first had Covid, I didn’t have a cough really or much temp (99. 9), but I DID have shortness of breath, an inner ear infection with vertigo and a bladder infection.

Thank you Morris Brown College for reinstating its mask mandate as #COVID rates rise. COVID isn't over and schools and workplaces need to stop being in denial and acting proactively to protect their staff and students. https://katv.com/news/nation-world/mask-mandate-reinstated-at-atlanta-liberal-arts-college-due-to-positive-covid-cases-morris-brown-college-social-distancing-pandemic-georgia-university-mask-mandate-reinstated-at-atlanta-liberal-arts-college

"Lee wasn't just a pastor who happened to have a political affinity for Trump. He actively misused his authority as a minister to try to gain access to [Ruby] Freeman against her will -- and to dissuade police from intervening."

Lee drove to Georgia from Chicago and targeted election worker Ruby Lee, attempting to intimidate her, and is now facing charges for that reason.
