(Are they starring in an ad campiagn yet?)@7newsq Witnesses are recounting the mayhem that unfolded on the Sunshine Coast. Two sisters have told of how their mother and a man raced to help when the carjacked SUV rolled on Steve Irwin Way, only to find the gun-wielding car thief emerging from the wreck. #7NEWS

A bunch of books from my wishlist are on sale right now
Hatching Twitter: A True Story of Money, Power, Friendship, and Betrayal is $1.99 right now.
Also on my wishlist, The Balkans: Nationalism, War, and the Great Powers, 1804-2011 is $1.99 right now.
And The Right Stuff by Tom Wolfe is $2.99.
Finally, The Tusks of Extinction by Ray Nayler, which I just raced through, is $2.99 right now. It has some clumsy plot contrivances that make it feel a little unfinished, but it's the best (unofficial) Jurassic Park sequel I've read.
Today's news and jokes

Like just to be 100% clear, according to the New York Times, the close associates Hegseth fired last week were also members of this second Signal group.

NEW TONIGHT: The Pentagon is in “total chaos” and Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of DODhttps://t.co/vxuDE80Is8@paulmcleary

you think hegseth added his lawyer because he thought it would make the group chat privileged?

("More than a month after announcing an indefinite bombing campaign against Houthi rebels in Yemen, the Defense Department has offered little information and the command overseeing the campaign is refusing to answer even basic questions on what U.S. forces have accomplished in the area or whether troops have been under fire or injured")A view from my Chromebook
