US to license Ukraine to build Patriot interceptors.
It's going to take them a good bit of time to stand up production, and they are already talking about building a cheaper interceptor that fits into the Patriot system.
"I’m going to help build a third party. There should be a good-faith effort to figure out what benefits the country," Carlson told the Columbia Journalism Review.
Oh Tucker, lying as usual. You don't care about what benefits the country. You only care about what benefits the white christian males of this country. Take your third party and stuff it where the sun don't shine, Tucker Carlson.
Whew! Getting hot! Mrs. Toomush made me give up my guitar practice and get out there and load up the Gator and two carts full of mulch from the pile before it gets any hotter. She's gonna work out of whatever shade she can this morning before she holds Open Art at the Libarry this afternoon. I had to do it now, because I have to go get a spot on my back looked at later this morning. Then, off to the printer! The Cheboygan Project is about to get printed!....
We are now locked in the heavy fog that we usually get in June but finally came in on the 4th. It's COLD here. Currently 54 feels like 46. I won't see the sun until possibly Monday. November is warmer. I wish I could send some of it to everyone sweltering right now.
I have not said this before and it certainly doesn't let Platner off the hook, but here goes: None of us men really understand women. We make a lot of false starts, many of them bad. We tend to think we have to be the "doers" in relationships, and feel that women have often acquiesced, letting us make bad choices and then blaming us. In addition, the idea of being really successful in life comes with a lot of guilt. The flip side of ego is the shame of feeling unworthy, which also leads to public figures doing things to trip themselves up, with spectacular consequences. I'd venture that there is no public figure, man or woman, who does not share these attributes, and hopes that no one really sees them in their full, human range. That is not to say we shouldn't be held to account, but the idea that white girls or Black girls are innately better is pretty suspicious...
Obviously no one is buying what he’s selling, but I really think we need a rebrand of the Democratic Socialist moniker that doesn’t invite this kind of reaction.

It really doesn't matter what we call ourselves. If we let them call us something, it will always be that we are weak, pathetic, anti-individual, cowardly losers who shouldn't be allowed to live. Whoever is trying to split Democrats should be called out. We have always been a wide Party, inclusive of a range of views. Letting the media pull this shit for the sake of columns and bylines is bullshit...
How cool is it that Martini has a blossom bat in the hed gif today! 'Cause I haz a story from yesternight!!! Mrs. Thors and I got into the swimming pool for the first time this year (long story, mustard algae and I had an epic four month battle, but it finally gave up the ghost) and we have these AWESOME swallow-tailed kites in the neighborhood.... like four foot wingspan, really impressive birds.... anyhoo, one flew low overhead and then swooped over the house and I was looking and said, "hey, he got something to eat!"
about that time, the kite relaxed his grip for some reason and two, count them TWO bats flew off in different directions from his talons.... it was really a wonder to see....

Because they thought McMorrow was a better candidate when the endorsement was made, and El-Sayed hadn't really taken off yet so probably didn't look like someone who had a real chance to win. Assuming that's who you meant.
It's the reason we have primaries in the first place. Name recognition isn't everything. Pete Buttigieg took second in the 2020 NH primary, just 4000 votes behind Bernie Sanders. No one knew who he was at the time. I caught him speaking via YouTube and was highly impressed. National vs. state election but the point is the same.
It’s an adorable blossom bat in the hed gif: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/blossom-bat

“They also enter torpor when food supply is low.” My bruthuhs from another muthuh!
What an amazing, adorable, tiny creature.
Blossom bat! Blossom bat!
Cuter than a tiny cat!
Eating flowers is where it's at!
Blossom bat! Blossom bat!
And that my friends is how baby bananas are made.
Huh, no fucking?
Asexual reproduction, neither male nor female, as they taught us in Ag Science before Charlie Kirk got 4-H and FFA banned for being “woke”.
Adorable was exactly the word I had in mind for the tiny nectar eating batty!
I'd never seen one with appeal
Until my eyes saw that
Banana blooms must taste real great
To a bantam blossom bat.
In the full length video Blossom Bat is later joined by Joey Bat, in a tiny leather jacket, and quirky best friend Six Bat.
Not Bubbles Bat and Buttercup Bat?
Woah.
It's sad that Kellogg's Fruit Bats Cereal did not have better success.
Well, they forgot to remove the claws in that one box, and... they were never a big seller after that!
RFK Jr said bat claws, like fingernails and hair, are pure protein.
Holy blossoms, batman!
I couldn't decide if today's gif was a bat or a frog, but I did know that the critter is a cutie pie!
I was just going to say, A1 tree frog bat!
Happy batty!
WHAR STRAW??!?!?
Well now, this is an interesting development.

I hope he does.
Mee too. It can't help but to split the Cletus vote.
I have had it with these motherfucking snakes* on this motherfucking planet.

Rebecca Solnit is a brilliant essayist and she is onto something!
“So far, the NDS boasts of having built several websites, including … Freedom.gov (not actually functioning right now).”
😭😭😭
And there is some very janky code on those web sites as well.
Ars did a bit of a dive into it a while ago.

BGC said yes. We are set up.
Yeah you fucking fascists. Now we're going to get Black girls working with a bunch of white guys.
Because they are the fucking future.

I'll fight you on that.
I teach Black kids. And say fuck you.
Changing tech? Yah. Fuck all y'all. I'm going to do it.
What's going to be amusing is my prep meeting
You're gonna be fine with this
I fucking swear a lot. You have to be ok with that.
Beyond that, you are fucking great, ok?

The irony being that they are constantly trying to erase social factors like race and gender from the conversation.
Huh, I didn't know that McConnell's first name is Addison. "Addison Mitchell McConnell III"
AMM sounds like a medical abbreviation for projectile shitting.
Did they finally write the obituary?
somebody published one 'by mistake' (and then retracted) the other day
Well, that gives me some hope
😳🤣 (It's not the one I am REALLY hoping for but it will do for now)

I hope RFK Jr.’s brainworm glitches and thrashes whatever’s left of his brain to pudding.
Why support McMurrow when you have Al Sayed?
Because they thought McMorrow was a better candidate when the endorsement was made, and El-Sayed hadn't really taken off yet so probably didn't look like someone who had a real chance to win. Assuming that's who you meant.
I went to Rebecca's fundraiser for McMorrow and the general vibe among the people there was support for both candidates.
There's that, too. And McMorrow's biggest mistakes came after that fundraiser.
It's the reason we have primaries in the first place. Name recognition isn't everything. Pete Buttigieg took second in the 2020 NH primary, just 4000 votes behind Bernie Sanders. No one knew who he was at the time. I caught him speaking via YouTube and was highly impressed. National vs. state election but the point is the same.
