The US and Israel militaries becoming one and the same - can't make this shit up.

And I thought it was hard to keep up with reality or the Dubya years.

NDAA: New U.S. Bill Will Fuse Israel and U.S. Militaries Into One

Section 224 of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) proposes to join the two forces together at the hip, laying the groundwork for extensive cooperation into “seemingly every manner of U.S.-Israeli military-industrial complex cooperation,” according to the Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

This includes the research, development, and production of modern, hi-tech arms, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, drones, directed energy, cyber, and autonomous weapons systems. It would compel the United States to integrate Israeli arms and technologies into its defense supply chain, and fuse the countries’ data capturing and storage facilities together, meaning that Israel could have access to essentially all the U.S. military’s data.

The bill also requires the creation of a new position within the Department of Defense: an executive agent whose role is to coordinate cooperation and integration between the two parties.

In essence, then, it would dramatically change the relationship between the two states, from one where Washington supplies Tel Aviv with money, weapons, and diplomatic support, to a situation where the two are fundamentally intertwined.

This article from The Black Agenda Report reminds me WHY I don't follow the NFL.

And it's because of what the business did to this guy because he stood up (or rather took a knee) for what he saw was a great injustice, and it cost him his career.

Time for a vacation.

I'm owed many comp days for all the late evenings, overnights,  and weekend work.

How asking for it in this day and age can be like a cancer diagnosis. 

But we'll see what I can get done.

'Clock is ticking'

Time is what ticks away. And only time will tell if this comes to reality,

Thank you Habs for a great 2025-26 NHL Season.

It went far beyond I think most expected. I'm very proud of the results.

They established themselves as a top team, and future Stanley Cup contenders.

Couple of tweaks (maybe trading for Conor McDavid?), and who knows where they'll be this time next year?

So far I've managed to survive two overnight releases.

As well as many late evenings, early mornings, meetings that are driven by people with no sense of time, or any self-awareness, or run by all-and-out bullies.

It's a reminder that work (just like every other hierarchical structure) I've encountered is typically psychopathic in nature, and resorts to exerting some force of various kinds to get its owners' way.

In these situations, it's important to not lose my shit, think carefully about what comes out of my mouth before saying it, be reminded that one is being watched at all times, and do one's work honestly and to the best of one's ability.

Meanwhile the genocide of brown people by Euro-centric ones continues
