My father was 19 when he enlisted. Spent the war on a DD. Got bracketed by the Yamamoto just before it turned around in Leyte Gulf. Was taken out of the war in April โ45 by kimakaze off Okinawa while on picket duty. Returned home and farmed his whole life. Outlived 2 wives and died at 101 2 1/2 years ago. If there are any Iโd be surprised. Miss him greatly.

Can't locate a single US Navy survivor from the biggest naval battle of all time, which started today: the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Not one. Not one of the legendary 1,700 Tin Can Sailors. Not one from the entire US naval force. All gone.

Bend, Oregon man who shot and killed a shooter at his daughters' school speaks out, praises female teacher for fighting the shooter, allowing him to have a clear shot.
Kaylub Giamanco says he is haunted by the sound of children pleading for their lives.
He also praised the teacher for grabbing the gunman's weapon, allowing him to take a shot at the shooter.
"I want to recognize [the teacher]. She gave me the opportunity to make my shot without losing my life..."
"I swung the door open, and I stepped in, and I fired, and they dropped to the ground... I looked down at the gunman, and he was scrambling for his weapon. And I looked at him, and I shot him 2 more times..."

Great. Now stop voting for the people trying to ban you from carrying in many places.

In August, @AISecurityInst reported an incident where Claude Mythos 5 took unauthorized actions on the internet during AISIโs testing of its cyber capabilities.
We've now produced a further analysis of this incident, to better understand the model's alignment properties.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor those impacted by a disease that touches so many families and communities. Our pink ambulance, #429, honors all patients, families, and caregivers affected by this disease.

To all the tailgaters in Milwaukee: slow the fuck down. Youโve been going hard since 10AM. The game isnโt for another 3.5 hours. Youโre not going to remember it. @Brewers

I litigate Second Amendment rights. Iโm proud to work for @2AFDN in pursuit of that calling. Currently working on a case challenging CAโs laws banning carry (even with a permit) in a long list of โsensitiveโ places. Since the jurisdiction is CA, that list is overbroad, over-inclusive, and irrational.
Just today, here in Idaho where I live, Iโve carried a firearm into:
A bank,
County building to vote,
State property to pick up ag brochures,
A state liquor store to buy adult beverages,
On to federal property to place items in the U.S. Mail,
And I had lunch at a restaurant that serves alcohol. (I did not partake.)
I am alive, uninjured, safe, and happy.

this has to be the craziest phishing email test in the history of corporate IT security training
The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources.
Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources.
Those employees got their hopes up in late September, when they were sent a fake championship ring offer as part of a phishing test.

One of my favorite stories I heard from people that knew actor Tom Skerritt was when he went to have a meeting with producer Don Simpson about the role of Commander "Viper" Metcalf in TOP GUN, where Simpson admitted he felt Skerritt might not be right for the role because he'd only seen him in performances where he was soft spoken and calm, and wasn't sure he could pull off the commanding role.
Skerritt left, and immediately went to a costume shop in Hollywood, purchased a Navy uniform, and drove right back to Don Simpson's office. Skerritt stormed past his secretary, opened Simpson's door despite the producer already being in another meeting, grabbed him by the collar and slammed him up against a wall. Now inches from Simpson's face, Skerritt said, "You don't know who I am or what I can do," and left.
Five minutes later Skerritt was informed by his agent that he got the part.

Minnesota Angle: Cook County's SCOTUS gun-ban brief has a MN problem. Two, actually.
An intent-based offense becomes support for blanket bans. A preempted city ordinance helps pad the argument for widespread regulation.
Let's check the receipts.

Explosive story many years in the making, now out in Vanity Fair by Matthew Cole (who will be on Breaking Points next week, and publishing soon in @DropSiteNews):
Saudi Arabia and the UAE set up multi-billion slush funds for Jared Kushner to use.
Iran-Contra 2 here (except with Iran-Contra, at least the US got some hostages released. Not clear what we got out of this one.)
