Trump Outlines Iran Goals, Johnson: Iran Strikes Defensive, More

The fediverse is quite a thing.
This morning, my first (of likely many) rejection emails popped into my inbox. It stung little, I admit. It's part of the process.
I stepped away for a networking opportunity, and when I got home, I noticed Feditext had a ton of notifications.
Curious, I checked and see that people were boosting my job search post left and right.
I don't know what set that off, but it happened exactly at the right time.
Much appreciated. ❤️
Hype for the Future 122D: Cumberland Gap
Introduction
In the modern context of the United States of America, the Cumberland Gap has traditionally been associated with Appalachian settlers and is situated at the western edge of the modern Commonwealth of Virginia, now traversed by United States Route 58 between the Ewing area of Virginia and Claiborne County, Tennessee. The Cumberland Gap National Historical Park also contains territory in Bell and Harlan Counties in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, largely within close proximity to the state line with Virginia and containing the City of Middlesboro in the area.
Historical Context
Largely associated with Dr. Thomas Walker, the Cumberland Gap has been a historically significant source of Appalachian pride and settlement, including, but not limited to, within the areas and general vicinities of the region. Many of the areas have been descended from settlers traversing the Appalachians previously via the Great Wagon Road; however, select additional groups may have pushed westward from the distinct Tidewater culture of the Commonwealth. Apart from Thomas Walker, Daniel Boone has also been identified as a significant historical figure in the general region before continuing to the northwest.

Supreme Court sides with Catholic parents against California on student gender notification — for now
The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily handed California a major loss related to the liberal state's scheme to advance the transgender agenda in public schools.
In a 6-3 ruling on Monday, the court reinstated a lower court order that blocked the California notification policies after the Thomas More Society filed a lawsuit at the behest of a group of Catholic parents.
'California built a wall of secrecy between parents and their own children, and the Supreme Court just tore it down.'
California state law prohibits rules requiring teachers and other school officials to notify parents if their children change their personal pronouns or gender expression at school.
The Thomas More Society issued a statement praising the temporary ruling.
"The Court found that California's secret transition regime likely violates parents' rights under both the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment," the statement reads.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta argued in favor of the California policies in 2023.
"By enacting policies that forcibly out students against their own wishes, school districts violate these fundamental protections and risk breaching their obligation to serve these and all students equally," he wrote.
"Research shows that protecting a transgender student's ability to make choices about how and when to inform others is critical to their well-being," reads a statement from Bonta's office, "as transgender students are exposed to high levels of harassment and mistreatment at school and in their communities when those environments are not supportive of their gender identity."
"No more can bureaucrats secretly facilitate a child's gender transition while shutting out parents," said Thomas More Society Executive Vice President Peter Breen.
"California built a wall of secrecy between parents and their own children, and the Supreme Court just tore it down," he added. "This groundbreaking ruling will protect parents' rights to raise their children as they see fit for years to come."

I'd never thought much about it before, but now I ask myself whether this sort of thing may have been the origin of the common term "bouquet-haired."
I was a little concerned, as I hadn't used fwupd before... but was pretty confident it would work.
It did make a different beeping sound as it progressed through the BIOS update after rebooting. When initiating BIOS updates with the Windows utility from Lenovo, it doesn't beep like that.

Pakidge Watch. It was supposed to arrive today. Auspost has revised that to tomorrow. And now another message telling me that the thing has arrived in Australia. As they told me three days ago that the thing was in Melbourne, this was a bit of a surprise.
In summary, the message I'm taking from this is that I don't know what's going on and neither do they.
When speaking with a distributed consciousness in many bodies, it is polite to ask which body to address.

I'm thinking that a lot of people are now happy that a murderous autocrat is dead. While I can appreciate that sentiment, I have concerns that these unilateral actions by the us against leaders of other states are going to have severe consequences for global stability in the future.

"By conventional thinking, Donald Trump’s tariff strategy is a failure: he sidestepped Congress, chose a dubious legal rationale to do it, and now the tariffs have been struck down by the Supreme Court, putting his entire trade agenda at risk. But that’s only one way to look at it.
Looked at another way, Trump’s tariffs were a bold and creative way to kick-start his agenda in an ongoing era of congressional gridlock. Because of the arcane workings of the US legal system, it has taken an entire year for the Supreme Court to get around to striking them down. In that year, as they wound through court after appeal after oral argument, the tariffs have been in place, and they have been arguably one of the most transformational policies of Trump’s entire presidency.
To be clear, they have not been transformational in anything approaching the way that Trump actually intended them to be. The tariffs have not revived US manufacturing; in fact, all evidence suggests they have been the latest major blow to that ailing sector, which has shed thousands of jobs every month for nearly the entire past year.
Likewise, they may have reshaped the global economic order, but not in ways that have benefited the United States. Outrage over the tariffs — their confusing and arbitrary nature, their indiscriminate punishment of both allies and foes, their use as a tool of political meddling, and their igniting of a trade war with China that Trump had to swiftly and embarrassingly back down from — has, in no particular order: weakened US global standing and pushed key security partners away; hastened efforts at de-dollarization; frayed the global alliances that have helped underwrite US power
(...)
Why, then, would progressive elected officials ever emulate what Trump has done here, given how counterproductive it has been to both his domestic agenda and his foreign policy? Let us count the ways."

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's death has triggered competing narratives in Iran. Some view him as a martyr, in the ancient Shi’ite tradition of refusing to capitulate to pressure. Others celebrate the end of an authoritarian ruler who ordered mass killings of protesters.
