WCK provides life reaffirming food and water to hotspots around the world. It puts human+kind together and first. Thanks to the volunteers and staff and especially a special prayer for those who lost their lives in Ukraine when a RU munition struck the WCK location. πŸ’š

In Barja, Lebanon, thousands of families are sheltering in schools after being displaced from their homes. WCK teams quickly set up a kitchen to meet the needβ€”and are serving meals a day to displaced families, many of them cooked by community members who are displaced themselves. #ChefsForMidEast

Oh well, too late for US taxpayers, but Putin gets a windfall from which he buys missiles to kill Ukrainian civilians. All due to Bibbi and β€˜47’.

"Bloomberg Economics estimates that the oil breakeven price for the OBBB Act's tax refunds is $83/barrel ... meaning oil at $83 would be enough to wipe out the average gains to households coming from refunds"

Budget cuts at Environment and Climate Change Canada threaten Arctic science For decades, ECCC research scientists have been integral to the work of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme.

Another blow to climate science: budget cuts at Environment and Climate Change Canada threaten long-running Arctic monitoring programs, some with >50-year datasets.

The Arctic is warming ~4Γ— faster than the global average. Cutting the science that tracks is…

I sincerely get the vibe that Trump has kompromat on this man. He is almost seething like a rabid animal in order to please his owner.

AI error or not, Iran school bombing is a permanent stain on America’s soul | Will Bunch A debate on AI in warfare obscures the truth about an Iran school bombing. U.S. humans are to blame for this war crime.

They had names. They had beautiful faces. And they had the same dreams as your kids - crushed when American "precision" bombs slammed into their Minab elementary school, killing 175

Don't blame AI for this. Blame the sick humans who see war as a game

The IAEA should have chain of custody on any materials and ensure that it is not moved to Israel or sold to a third party. It can be reprocessed for normal energy-grade fuel.

How did it get to the point where we are stuck in Iran as Trump2.0 drops sanctions on Russia, then starts a war with Iran which spikes oil prices 40%, which saves his friend Putin who immediately profits by RU sales. Putin uses $$ to buy missiles to escalate his genocide on Ukraine civilians? πŸ™„

Cleanup time.But the good day is when the Commonwealth OK’s the planting of replacement firs which will thrive in the abundant understory sunshine. I bet the historical soc. has storm photos through the years. Some of those trees are gnarly warriors! Be sure to name a newbie tree the Marlo tree.😎

Who else wants to know what Sen. Sheehy was saying to the obviously incapacitated marine? I doubt that it was, β€œThank you for your service.” A decorated Navy Seal (2006-2014) should be able to think before acting. Was this performative or an intervention gone bad?

I admire the Trader Joe’s EV trailer truck more and more each visit to the Suburban Square store. The driver comments on the rig’s excellent performance, range and ROI. No diesel for these short hauls.

Why oh why is security further injuring this man’s broken arm. Who trains these people in basic First Aid? Absolutely poor training. Why wasn’t he seated and then attended to by an EMT? If security open-carry a weapon, they damn well better have emergency medical response training.
