Bloomberg shouldn’t have copy-striked him, but Steve doesn’t know shit about the law. That video was painful even if he was in the right. Michael Moore style “show up in the lobby and demand answers” journalism is so cringe. It probably was just an automated strike. Don’t attribute to malice….

I’m not much of a sports guy, so probably behind the times, but there’s sperm racing now? 

https://www.spermracing.com/races (“race video”)

“how the race works:

we've designed a microscopic racetrack that mimics the reproductive system—chemical signals, fluid dynamics, synchronized starts.

high-resolution cameras track every microscopic move. it's all live-streamed, complete with stats, leaderboards, and instant replays.

the winner? the sperm that crosses the finish line first, verified by advanced imaging. the stakes have never been smaller—or bigger.”

 

They're interviewing sperm racing investors at, of course, Peter Thiel’s Antichrist talk

We are watching this also.  Good stuff, and it has a way of bringing up a lot of feels for the viewer (good and not so pleasant) IMO.

I recently thought about joining ICE...yes, really, but not what you think...not the evil ICE that we see everywhere, but HSI.

https://www.ice.gov/about-ice/hsi

The ones who investigate the real terrorist networks domestically.  Mostly because I have had it with what the Russian plants did to get Trump elected and cement his position there, but also...because it would be easy.  I get pinged all the time, recruitment pings on LinkedIn from obviously Russian organizations.  One of them even had the audacity to communicate with me in Russian.

I got as far as filling out The Questionnaire.  There are a lot of questions of the "are you now or have you ever been" variety, but there are also questions that are much more to the point (see attached).

I have zero problem killing bad guys.  The above video is why.  I do realize it's a lot easier knowing who the bad guys are in the above scenarios (they're shooting at you!), and that's kind of what I was imagining, but I do also realize that real life is not so clear cut.

I had to bail (on working for ICE) for other reasons.  (They wanted to be able to dictate whom I investigated and whom I didn't, being the biggest one.)

But I remain staunchly pro-2A, and needed to renew my vow to myself to remain grounded and moral.  There may not be people worse than Trump and Hegseth and Miller and the Heritage Foundation et al, but they wouldn't be so bad for life on this planet if it weren't for the extremist MAGA and Russians who are the real terrorists.

And armed.
