[Zero] A prosecutor for the Bronx has been forced to resign after being caught on camera allegedly trying to meet up with a 13 year old boy he met online, the New York Post reported last week.
30 year old William C.C. Kemp-Neal resigned from the Bronx District Attorney's office after Dads Against Predators posted a video of him in a Target parking lot in Mount Vernon.
In the July 8 footage, vigilantes confront Kemp-Neal, identifying him as "Marcus," causing him to flee. According to the Post, Kemp-Neal, a Fordham Law graduate, earned $84,990 as an ADA, focusing on assault, harassment, and child endangerment cases.
"Excuse me everybody, this man right here came to meet a 13-year-old boy," the vigilantes can be heard yelling, while chasing Kemp-Neal.
[Task&Purpose] The "clerks and jerks" of Delta Company were surrounded and close to being overrun. As Capt. Paul Bucha, the company commander, dodged the machine gun fire from the trees overhead and constant explosions he began to wonder if his mother would ever learn the name of the unmarked grid coordinates where he was about to die.
But as he considered those dire thoughts, a young, untested replacement soldier, with no combat experience, ran to Bucha’s position through the hail of fire,
"This young kid who’d just joined us," Bucha remembered in an interview. "I mean we were down with fire everywhere, and we were firing what little ammunition we had left because we were trying to conserve it. All hell was raining down on us."
The soldier looked at the captain with, shockingly, a smile: "And he says, ’Sir! We’re kicking the hell out of them, aren’t we!’," Bucha said.
The captain laughed and replied: "Well, I guess we are."
In fact, the battle raged on through the night of March 16, 1968. For hours, Bucha moved between his men, created diversions and feints to confuse the larger enemy force, called in artillery and gunship fire and loaded helicopters with wounded.
Ten of Bucha’s soldiers died, with nearly all emerging wounded. Over 150 North Vietnamese were killed in the battle, a toll nearly twice the number of Bucha’s entire company.

Bucha's actions were incredible; they included destroying single-handedly a bunker situated forty yards to his front. Throughout the directed helicopter support and evacuation of the wounded. The "clerks and jerks" held out through a long evening until day when they were relieved. 150 enemy were counted among the dead.

I hope he rests in peace. He deserves it... Maybe St. Michael will meet him at the gates...

Conway's work will "contribute to raising awareness among US decision makers of Ukrainians’ fight for freedom and the Russian illegal war of aggression," according to the NSD filings.
Conway's contract began on July 25 and expires on November 14

She has to. If Trump is going to engage with Ukraine after the election the consultants that are not holding office have to be. This is signal to the American consultants that are representing Ukraine currently, that Trump will not be using them.

Simply extraordinary from #Bangladesh. The people have toppled a dictator.
A status quo never lasts. When people move as one, no system or dictator can remain in place (regardless of how powerful it might look on the outside). pic.twitter.com/rQpLJ3h6Dl

[NY Post] Neuralink has successfully implanted in a second patient its device designed to give paralyzed patients the ability to use digital devices by thinking alone, according to the startup’s owner Elon Musk.
Neuralink is in the process of testing its device, which is intended to help people with spinal cord injuries.
The device has allowed the first patient to play video games, browse the internet, post on social media and move a cursor on his laptop.
Musk, in comments made during a podcast released late on Friday that ran more than eight hours, gave few details about the second participant beyond saying the person had a spinal cord injury similar to the first patient, who was paralyzed in a diving accident. Musk said 400 of the implant’s electrodes on the second patient’s brain are working. Neuralink on its website states that its implant uses 1,024 electrodes.
“I don’t want to jinx it but it seems to have gone extremely well with the second implant,” Musk told podcast host Lex Fridman. “There’s a lot of signal, a lot of electrodes. It’s working very well.”

[Space] Some reporters began calling the astronauts "stranded" or "stuck" on the ISS. NASA and Boeing stress, however, that this couldn't be further from the truth. Shi* outta luck then ? I prefer the term marooned.
"Our plan is to return them on Starliner and return them home at the right time," Steve Stich, manager of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, told reporters during a tense press teleconference on June 28. (Reporters complained during the briefing that a lack of updates was leading to misinformation online; NASA and Boeing pledged more frequent discussions, but said they had remained relatively quiet mainly because they were busy troubleshooting Starliner's issues.)

I scanned most of the article, looking for the 'bottom line' and concluded it was ghost-written by K. Harris.

Yeah, getting back is easy. It's downhill all the way! The trick is getting back in a state where you can continue to enjoy the benefits program.
Worst case, John Galt- sorry, Elon Musk - can give them a lift, but the optics are awful and it won't help Boeing's stock price or NASA's reputation. Not that any of our institutions look like heroes anymore.

If Boeing can admit the truth and let the poor bastards return to earth on SpaceX there is no problem. Currently it looks like Boeing would prefer to risk their lives in a sick spaceship.
#10
Well, yeah. After all - Boeing Starliner's two astronauts knew to expect the unexpected when they took off on the spacecraft's first crewed mission on June 5.

There are only so many docking ports on that station.
#12
The prob is that Starliner is parked on the one and only docking port. There's a Aug 18 (IIRC) Dragon launch scheduled to bring up the next crew. No place to park.
The previous iteration of Starliner flew itself on autopilot, but the story is that software wasn't loaded on this capsule. (Probably so a Boeing exec could get a bonus for cost saving, but that's a guess.)
