Let’s forget any political implications of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s gathering of every general and admiral to a big meeting in a single location and focus on the security implications.
Has he not seen Star Trek: Into Darkness?
I can’t be sure “Whiskey Leaks” is or isn’t taking security seriously, but I know he isn’t taking former generals seriously, based on this tweet response:

Happy Labor Day 2025!
I hope that:
- If you have to work today: That work isn’t too busy or onerous today.
- If you don’t have to work today: That you have a relaxing one.
- If you don’t have to work today, but you’re working on your own thing: Hey, fellow hustler! Keep the faith, and don’t work too hard!
You might not be aware of the FDA’s warning that Walmart’s house brand of raw frozen shrimp might be contaminated with the radioactive isotope cesium-137, a byproduct of uranium-235 fission, which typically happens in nuclear reactors or nuclear detonations.

Happy Canada Day 2025!
It’s July 1st, which means it’s Canada Day! Have a happy one, everybody!
And to celebrate, click on the video above — it’s Toronto 1980s garage-punk band, The Supreme Bagg Team, covering a most Canadian classic tune in the most Canadian possible way. (Gen Xers, the blink-and-you’ll miss-them images will induce deep nostalgia.)
