I don't see where he admits what the headline claims.

I don't see where in the article he "admits" what the headline claims.

Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.

Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an "unprecedented mass deployment" to Europe.

And happier people are less downtrodden, which is why corporations don't want us working from home.

Apple's "find my" network can find your phone when it's turned off, because the phone continues to transmit low-energy Bluetooth which other devices in that network receive and report. So if you're in a crowd with a switched-off iPhone and other people have their devices on, it's still possible for your location to be tracked. There may be other modern phones that do this too, continuing to transmit low power signals to nearby devices. If you really don't want to be tracked, you can't be sure Airplane Mode or turning the phone off will be sufficient.

You don't get the same feeling of suspicion about what the machine is up to. Windows 11 feels like the computer spends just enough time doing what you want that you don't walk away forever in frustration, but most of the resources are spent doing unspecified things in the background for people you don't know, who are very interested in what you're doing. My Windows XP machine's CPU scores 75 on Passmark, while my Windows 11 machine scores about 46,000. But the speed at which they do many ordinary things isn't so different, because Windows 11 does so much heavy stuff in the background. My Linux machines (scoring between 8,000 and 28,000) all feel tangibly faster than Win 11.

One possible motive is that the Minnesota legislature had a one-seat majority for the Democrats. Shooting two Democratic representatives might have been an attempt to change the math.

Let's see if they ever find the perpetrator. If not, you may be right.

This is not someone killed in battle:

Donald Trump raged when he learned the funeral bill for Vanessa Guillén—the U.S. soldier who was sexually harassed and horrifically murdered by a male soldier at Fort Hood in 2020—cost $60,000, a bombshell report revealed Tuesday.

Somehow knowing the circumstances of her death makes Trump's awful remark even nastier. Especially since he is a rapist.

Guillén, a 20-year-old American of Mexican ancestry from Houston, was buried in her hometown on Aug. 15, 2020. Months later, in December, Trump reportedly asked his advisers in a meeting, “Did they bill us for the funeral? What did it cost?"

When an aide responded “yes” with the bill’s total, Trump allegedly unraveled. “It doesn’t cost 60,000 bucks to bury a f---ing Mexican,” he said, according to people in the meeting who spoke to the Atlantic.

Trump says vile things every day but this has to be one of the vilest.

It gets worse:

Instead of seeking expert advice on how to retrieve the weapon, one officer decided to activate the emergency shutdown button.

"This action caused the MRI's magnet to rapidly lose superconductivity, leading to the evaporation of approximately 2,000 liters of helium gas and resulting in extensive damage to the MRI machine," the suit said.

The officer then retrieved his gun, but left a magazine full of bullets on the floor of the MRI office, the suit says.

Intel has not halted sales or clawed back any inventory. It will not do a recall, period.
