HegsethHegseth and advisers reprimanded by guard at Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and a group he was with were reprimanded by a sentinel at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday. The incident followed a wreath-laying ceremony marking Veterans Day.
Hegseth had joined the group for a photo and someone laughed, prompting the US Army sentinel guarding the tomb to shout. "All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times", the sentinel said.
According to the BBC's US partner, CBS News, the people in the photo before the reprimand also included Hegseth's advisers Patrick Weaver and Tami Radabaugh, Hegseth's chief of staff Ricky Buria and Hegseth's wife Jennifer Hegseth.

Did you get advent calendars as a kid?My maternal great-aunt was a Catholic nun; she sent me an Advent calendar when I was a kid. It got re-used every year.
I went down to the basement and dug it out of my box of precious pimentos. It was printed in "Western Germany". It must be from the 1960s.
These days Advent calendars are way more interesting. 24 bottles of wine, 24 kinds of chocolate, and one I hadn't seen before...

Nice overview of various AI productsI have found it to be very useful. It helped me parse Mr wtg's rapidly evolving and complex medical situation earlier this year; I could never have figured out on my own what it did for me in seconds.

Nice overview of various AI productsAn opinionated guide to which AI to use to do stuff
The Summer 2026 Edition
Every few months, I write a guide for people who want to use AI to do stuff. This time, a lot has changed, in part because what it means to “use AI to do stuff” encompasses so much more “stuff” than it used to. Until recently, using AI meant talking to a model through a chatbot in a constant back-and-forth conversation. Now, it means using an agentic system, where the AI is capable of doing the equivalent of many hours of real human work in one go by combining the brains of an AI model with a set of tools that let it plan and act for you. Basically, an agentic system gives an AI a computer to use.
