Notable bit from this @dell.bsky.social story on @wired.com — renaming the 9 bases after Confederate general officers had a projected cost of $39 mil. So if Dpt of War ends up being a full rebrand (with or without congress), we’re talking 9 figures and up: www.wired.com/story/depart...

("Last month, John Deere said net income in its most recent quarter was down 29 percent from a year earlier. Higher tariffs, primarily on steel but also on aluminum, have cost the company $300 million so far, with nearly another $300 million expected by the end of the year. This summer the company laid off 238 employees across factories in Illinois and Iowa")



I hope I'm wrong. But I worry that if Adams doesn't take the deal, you're going to start to get leaks out of the DOJ about opening a case on him.

@cooperlost

Camping in back country of Alaska, I walked down to the beach, sat down to watch the sunset. Looked to my left and this beautiful brown bear and her 3 cubs were walking right up to me. I didn’t want to startle her but I made sure she knew I was there and let her walk right by me. One of the cubs locked in on my shoe as it walked past, clearly wanting to play with it so I pulled my leg back and they carried on their way down the beach. Such an insane encounter. I love these animals. (I have over 10 years of bear guiding experience. All bears can be dangerous, never put yourself in a situation like this unless you’re with a professional bear guide)
