#Hegseth issued a formal letter of censure last month reprimanding #MarkKelly for comments in a social media video from several Democratic lawmakers in which they said members of the #military weren’t always obligated to follow commands from superiors.

“Like us, you all swore an oath,” Kelly says in the video. “Our laws are clear. You can refuse #illegal orders.”

“That’s never been done before,” Leon, who was nominated by President George W. Bush, told a government lawyer during a hearing in D.C. federal court on #MarkKelly’s request for an injunction to halt the disciplinary proceedings. “You’re asking me to do something the #SupremeCourt’s never done.”

A federal judge on Tuesday sharply questioned the legality of the #Defense Department’s efforts to censure & possibly demote Sen. #MarkKelly, a retired #Navy captain, over his public criticism of the #Trump admin.

#US District Judge Richard J. Leon said Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth appeared to be expanding restrictions on #FreeSpeech that have applied only to active-duty service members, not #military retirees.

In the 70s, Iowa used to be known as the “education state”. Now the state is filled with such dumb and uneducated rubes that they will likely try to elect AZ cast-off Kari Lake in the next election #iowa #idiocracy #brawndo

Even the coal plant operators want to shut down their coal plants, but have to fight it out in court lest they be allowed to do something wholesome.

Every time you find it hard to understand how the world has gotten into the spot of trouble it's in today, just remember that there are actually people on the internet who fall for scams like this one.
And they vote.

Malaysians buy billions of dollars of tech products based on completely nonsensical specifications, or no specifications at all.

Truly a crisis of #knowledge and #education. But who is left to do anything about it?

I couldn't get over the guy getting all excited about an agent RUNNING HIS COMPUTER or in another case being able to make calls on his behalf. The first words through my mind and out my mouth were "Jesus fucking christ these guys are utter morons!! Do they not see what's happening". And a social media [or reddit] participated in and run by AI with no oversight. Did any fiction writers posit scenarios where humanity is ultimately undone by its own stupidity?

All this BS to prop up an artificial digital world that's completely unnecessary. #Idiocracy

“Water is very local,” Conrad Reddick, a utility commissioner in Illinois, said at a November meeting of regulators. “The fact that it is a very, very, very tiny part of the global consumption doesn’t really matter if you need more than we have in the area.”

From Jan 7
Faculty at #TexasAM #University were told this week that roughly 200 courses in the #College of Arts & Sciences could be affected by a new system policy restricting classroom discussions of #race & #gender, the implementation of which has already led administrators to direct a #philosophy professor to remove #Plato readings from a core course.

#TexasAM #University said Friday that it would end its #women’s & #gender studies program, & that the syllabuses for hundreds of courses had been altered under new policies limiting how #race & gender ideology may be discussed in classrooms.

The university said that 6 courses had been canceled entirely because of the new rules, out of the ~5,400 that were planned for this semester at one of the nation’s largest #public #universities.

[this on top of the bizarre ban on the #philosophy department from teaching #Plato — seriously]

New policies limiting the teaching of race & gender issues led administrators & professors to change hundreds of courses. #School leaders say the rules could hurt A&M’s reputation. [ya think?]
