Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.

Ah the ole EV debate.
For those unaware, I live 90 miles or so from the nearest Costco/airport/acute care hospital.

We finally have some Tesla chargers in town. Some slower chargers available by the courthouse.

There are zero public chargers between here and a Costco.

There are plenty of ways to be creative that don't steal from others, harm the environment, drive up utility prices for actual people struggling to make ends meet, and make tech bros rich at the expense of artistic originality. I belive in your ability to be creative and spread news without AI.

Gupta: Why is Dr. Casey Means not right for the role of Surgeon General?

First, she’s somebody who wraps herself in a white coat — she did a lot of that during her confirmation hearing — but she doesn’t actually practice medicine. In some ways it’s just false valor.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

On a walk around #Conwy yesterday, I spotted something I hadn't noticed before. This magnificent #Gothic railway arch, built in 1840, through the #Medieval walls. It even continues the castellated parapet! Zoom in, and you can see where bits were chipped away as trains got bigger! #photograph #photo

Trump to Local 12 Cincinnati: "There's never been a better year for a president. I've been rated. That includes the stoppage of 8 wars with a 9th to come. The economy is roaring. It's phenomenal. That's why I'm here. This is an excursion, a little excursion, and I think it's only that."

The numbers are shifting, but let’s be honest. A huge chunk of CA voters still have no idea who most of these candidates are.

That 24% undecided is the real story. It could flip this race overnight.

Dems stuck in single digits are not expanding the field, they’re diluting it and need to drop out.

Kristi Noem lost her job. Renee Good and Alex Pretti lost their lives. Noem faced a professional consequence she brought on herself.

Their families are living with something no consequence, no firing, no reassignment can ever undo.

Podarcis bocagei on a rock. He has mottled stripes of alternating black and green down his back and gray and black symmetrically mottled markings on his back and tail. He’s male so he probably has around 18 torso vertebrae, whereas a female would be more likely to have 20.

We tend not to think about lizards as exemplars of sexual dimorphism, but there are multiple examples from different clades of females having more vertebrae than males.

It’s usually 1 or 2 more vertebrae in the torso. Probably so there’s more room for babies!🦎🧪

Trump Finds Himself in the Joe Biden Bind But he has only himself to blame for the spiking price of gas.

"Cheap gas doesn’t always correlate with economic growth—but spikes in the price of oil usually do come with an economic downturn." And the president has only himself to blame this time.
