Technically, the US hasn't declared war since World War II, so we haven't really lost anything. These have all been Presidential actions, and unless Congress formally declares war you can't expect the full backing of the country or its economy. Hence the supposed lack of "victories". It has nothing to do with the name change. I shudder to think what would happen if little Trump takes the US into another (non-internal) conflict.

Trump celebrates West Point alumni group canceling award ceremony to honor Tom Hanks Sometimes DJT can be a very small-minded man. Well... maybe not sometimes. Little Trump.

Ten years later, Pillars of Eternity is getting a turn-based combat mode "Testing starts later this year." So... maybe by Winter?

I'm watching Mrs. Davis on Peac*ck. In some ways it reminds me of The Preacher, in that it's both religious in theme and weirdly funny and irreverent.

The Senate is trying to speed up the process now so that entire clown cars can be confirmed at once. Republicans consider changing Senate rules to speed confirmation of Trump nominees It's like a Shiners parade.

For the Sounders, after being all Messi'd up...

Apparently it's okay for the US to shoot up non-military ships in international waters now. What are we, Somalia? I suppose it's easier to maintain a constant state of emergency that way.

Speaking of illegal, a judge has ruled that deployment of the National Guard to LA was a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. They have no shame.

Some German sausage Prez just keeps on...

Now for something completely random...

The first time I saw AI try to draw conclusions from something I'd written, it was so blatantly wrong that I was flabbergasted. Granted the conclusions it drew were based on some subtle inferences from the technical wording, but a normal person just wouldn't reach those conclusions. Sure, you can blame me as the author; I did rewrite the text slightly to make sure the AI would interpret it correctly. Nonetheless, AI hallucinations are a real problem, especially when they occur in STEM fields, as well as the legal professions.

Let's call him Marvin

Music for 1950s aliens to invade a planet.

Can't stop watching a TV show? That may be a good thing I just knew it had to be doing some good.

Among other things, the flag stands for the freedom to burn the flag. So there's that. Most people here would never burn the flag.
