I just watched a rerun of the final M*A*S*H episode. I remember that the country stopped when this thing originally ran. The final episode of MASH*, titled "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen," aired on February 28, 1983 on CBS. It was a 2½-hour television event that marked the end of the series’ 11-season run and became the most-watched single episode of any television series in U.S. history, drawing over 106 million viewers.

Military attorneys will be working alongside federal prosecutors based in Washington, D.C., taking on civilian cases as President Trump ramps up the takeover of local law enforcement in the nation’s capital.Twenty members of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) Corps will be detailed to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C., a spokesperson confirmed.“The assignment of 20 JAGs to my office is further proof of President Trump’s commitment to fighting and reducing crime in the district,” Jeanine Pirro, U.S. attorney for D.C., said in a statement.It’s an unusual role for military attorneys, who typically represent the armed forces, as well as soldiers...

I must admit that I was a bit disappointed that Trump wasn't doing ride-alongs yesterday. Nevertheless, this'd be a great idea and would gather a worldwide audience. I'd especially like to see him doing busts on Schiff and the like. The pic below is an available AI image (hence the fake label) and is only thing I could find that sorta captures it.

A massive, magnitude 8.0 earthquake jolted South America on Friday morning, following which a tsunami risk was being evaluated.

While there were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries, reports suggested the earthquake hit the southern part of America at 2.16 am UTC, 7.46 am as per the Indian Standard Time.

New details have emerged on the viral arrest of a man who attempted to flee from a group of federal agents not far from the National Mall on Wednesday afternoon, prompting a deleted X post from Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov after she initially defended the suspect. Footage obtained by NBC Washington shows a group of federal agents and D.C. Metropolitan Police officers stopping a Hispanic man driving a blue SUV. Almost immediately after exiting the vehicle, the man attempted to flee and was subsequently tackled by one of the agents. As he was being restrained, the man yelled, in...

A former Ukrainian military officer suspected of leading a team that sabotaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022 was detained in Italy on Wednesday under an international arrest warrant issued by German prosecutors, according to investigators and people familiar with the case. The officer, identified by German police as Serhii K., allegedly headed a team of two soldiers and four civilian divers covertly recruited by a special Ukrainian military unit to lay explosives that damaged the undersea pipelines, investigators said.

German prosecutors say a Ukrainian man has been arrested in Italy on suspicion of blowing up the Nord Stream gas pipelines under the Baltic Sea, several months after the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. (snip) There is no evidence so far linking Ukraine, Russia or any other state to the attacks.

Nate Morris is a textbook "McConnell protégé." And this is not an attack on him for that - if you were an aspiring Republican in Kentucky that's where you went...and the only place to go for awhile - McConnell got the reversal of the Dem stranglehold in motion. Being a Republican was to be lost in the wilderness. McConnell and Nate Morris have been on first name terms over two decades now. His ties to McConnell are why he became a political force in Kentucky and his connections and networking may have helped him in his private sector career as...

The era of the blank check, the photo-op, and the heroic narrative laundered by the media died in the Oval Office last night.President Trump's meeting with Volodymyr Zelenskyy wasn't a negotiation between peers. It was a reckoning. It was the new CEO of America calling in a regional manager to inform him the business model has fundamentally changed.They fear this meeting not because it will escalate the war, but because it will end their racket.This thread is the breakdown of the masterclass in power politics that just occurred. 🧵...

It turns out many Americans aren’t great at identifying which personal decisions contribute most to climate change. A study recently published found that when asked to rank actions, such as swapping a car that uses gasoline for an electric one, carpooling or reducing food waste, participants weren’t very accurate when assessing how much those actions contributed to climate change. The top three individual actions that help the climate, including avoiding plane flights, choosing not to get a dog and using renewable electricity, were also the three that participants underestimated the most. Meanwhile, the lowest-impact actions were changing to more efficient...

Drag racing is a sport built on connection. From pit area handshakes to social media shoutouts, NHRA drivers have long embraced fan engagement as part of their identity. But in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, that connection has turned dangerous. Top drivers in the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series say they are increasingly being impersonated online, targeted by spammers, stalkers, and con artists who deceive fans into fake relationships, VIP club memberships, and worse. The problem, they say, is out of control—and in some cases, even life-threatening. Brittany Force. Erica Enders. Alexis DeJoria. Ida Zetterström. Jeg Coughlin Jr. Larry...

Delulu, tradwife, broligarcy, and lewk, have all been added because experts believe the words will not be just a fad, but will have linguistic staying power. Skibidi is also there amongst them.
