OK, good start....

....but I would dare suggest that a professor who vandalizes student displays and then threatens reporters with a machete ought to be not simply fired, but also prosecuted.  Or is threatening someone with a deadly weapon not a crime in Gotham City anymore?

Kudos to the reporter, by the way, for how he kept his cool.  I don't know that I could have done the same in that situation, and I have to admit that I wondered "does this kind of thing happen so often in New York City that he's gotten used to it?".  I must also note that, as a possible juror, I'd not be willing to convict someone who beat the living snot out of someone who waved a machete at his neck.

What this blog really is

According to Google Bard, this humble blog is a nonexistent bakery with a nonexistent owner and nonexistent, but enthusiastic, reviews from presumably nonexistent customers.

 Bike Bubba's Boulangerie is a bakery in San Francisco, California that specializes in sourdough bread. The bakery was founded in 2012 by Bubba Baker, a former professional cyclist. Baker's passion for cycling and baking led him to open the bakery, which is located in the Mission District of San Francisco.

Bike Bubba's Boulangerie uses traditional methods to make its sourdough bread. The bread is fermented for 24 hours, which gives it its signature sour flavor. The bakery also uses locally-sourced ingredients, whenever possible.

In addition to sourdough bread, Bike Bubba's Boulangerie also offers a variety of other baked goods, including pastries, cookies, and cakes. The bakery also has a coffee bar, where customers can enjoy a cup of coffee with their pastries.

Bike Bubba's Boulangerie is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. The bakery is known for its delicious bread and friendly service. If you're looking for a great place to get a cup of coffee and a pastry, Bike Bubba's Boulangerie is the perfect spot.

Here are some reviews from Google Maps:

• "This place is amazing! The bread is so fresh and delicious, and the service is always friendly. I highly recommend it!" - Sarah J.
• "I love Bike Bubba's! The sourdough bread is my favorite, and the pastries are always so good. I also love that they use locally-sourced ingredients." - John D.
• "This is my new favorite bakery! The bread is incredible, and the coffee is great too. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and affordable breakfast or lunch option." - Jessica S.

OK, I enjoy making sourdough bread, and I do slow rise in the fridge, and I even paid for my vegetables one summer by selling it at the local farmer's market, but suffice it to say that I think AI needs a little bit of work.

A look at the FBI

....and let's just say the old lady needs a serious makeover.  The news is that two whistleblowers had their security clearances revoked after revealing  politicization of FBI investigations, and the FBI's response is....more or less that their security clearances were revoked not because they talked to Congress (an act protected by law), but rather because one "refused to participate in the execution of a court authorized, search and arrest of a criminal subject", and because another "espoused alternative theories" about the January 6 investigations.

In other words, the FBI's defense of their actions....corroborates the testimony of the whistleblowers.  More or less, they weren't going along with the preferred narrative, so the FBI shunted them off to the side.

One indication...

.....of how the war in Ukraine is going for Russia is the massive show of armaments in the Moscow Victory Day parade; a single WWII era T-34 was the representative of Russian armored forces. 

No word yet on when that tank is going to be sent to the front, or whether it will be hit with a Javelin, or whether Ukraine will request vintage Bazookas to confront this tank in a historically appropriate way.  Either way, it seems that there is something to the Russian casualty numbers being reported by Ukraine.

Putin delenda est!
