New details emerge on Hegseth’s unusual mass gathering of top brass
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered all military top brass to show up for a meeting at Quantico, Virginia, on Tuesday. The generals and admirals aren’t used to traveling on short notice for a reason they don’t understand. They don’t mind issuing orders like that to the people under their command, but probably don’t like taking orders.
Building an audience on Youtube must be harder than it looks. The U.S. Secret Service only has 36k subscribers. Their videos are short, usually a minute or two, but interesting.
An Asian girl eating a bowl of soup can get 4 million subscribers on Youtube.

I am disengaged from popular culture, so there is no way that I’ve got the time or patience to participate in internet culture. She is a good way to learn what the cool kids on social media are talking about. It’s almost like listening to a good story teller from another country. And she’s cute.
President Trump’s state visit to Windsor Castle reminded me that Wales gets screwed because they don’t have a national anthem anyone has heard of. Some countries do a good job, so looked them up.
Nobody does a big show like England.
Fairview Park city council president resigns after comments that showed him to be a cold-hearted bastard who isn’t disturbed by people being assassinated for disagreeing with him.
The story has a happy ending, so that’s nice.
Whatever can happen, will happen, if you wait long enough.
That is an operating principle in modern physics. There is a 1 in 6000 chance that a nickel dropped on to a table top, will rest on the edge of the coin. If you dropped a nickel every 10 seconds, within 17 hours, you’d expect a nickel to land on the edge. It’s a very unlikely event, but it will happen.
