Happens in corporate world too, because the systems are set up to punish those who save money, which is ridiculous. Bet if you promised half of savings would go to bonuses, you would see that less.
Anonymous X users say their names are being Googled from Israel. “A wide range of anonymous X (Twitter) users have reported that their real names are suddenly being Googled in Israel shortly after they began criticizing the country for its actions in Palestine." consortiumnews.com/2026/03/09/i...
My ‘vote red no matter who’ mom has been a universal healthcare supporter since the 80s. It’s the only left issue she will admit to liking.

In Michigan, we have a governor candidate airing ads about how he will be just like trump. How about no.
Oh fuck off that is an AWFUL cross check on Larkin that went uncalled, gtfoh
Maybe they should have thought about that before bribing trump for business deals and attacks on their enemies. Seems less collateral damage and more consequences of their own actions.
Between government shutdowns, planes falling, crazy border patrols, and trumps constant threats (and sometimes follow thru) to attack countries, I am happy with my decision to avoid going anywhere as long as trump is president. I will stick to camping and road trips.
Let's talk about this MAGA Mike, shall we?
just saying
It’s the same excuse Russia used to attack Ukraine.
Yes, I switched to over the air. Usually they are pretty good for me, but not today apparently.
Always a good day when Teng is in the zone.
My favorite part about this though is that trump wants people to stop talking about Epstein, but pulling the Clinton’s in just made all the news stations talk about it more. 😝
They can’t even make money with what they have now. I wonder what the over/under is before the new company goes bankrupt.
Can’t believe it - local news on local fox channel fact checked trump on his economic claims. It’s a separate/extra news show (more in-depth, no weather etc), but still surprised.
Did he not realize that an arrest and 2 misdemeanor charges made him a “criminal” in the maga mind?
My favorite comment that I read concerning the ‘speech’ last night was “could have been an email”
Haha
ngl - as a single woman who often travels alone, Mexico is the only country I’ve never felt safe in (not for work and not even for fun w friends where I felt watched every time I was more than 10ft away from them). There are others, no doubt; I just haven’t been to those.
When asked today if he will call for Gonzales to resign, Very Pious Christian Mike Johnson said no. Hanging on to power is the first chapter in MAGA Mike’s Bible.
Yeah, I don’t see him able to win the ‘flyover’ states imo.
"ICE agents are the equivalent of cartel hitmen" is a wild take, but Mike Lee is here for it.
Finally shooting the open shots.
And King Louie is the king of the jungle because the jungle book says so. I don’t make the rules. /s
Except the blue shirts are also white on the top, so if you aren’t watching closely it is easy to confuse which team is which.
I like hockey, but 1) I don’t care to watch Olympic contests that are sports I can watch all the time and 2) these jerseys are waaayyy too similar to each other.
First storm of the new year. Seems like forever since I last heard thunder.
Constant Sexual Aggression Drives Female Tortoises To Walk Off Cliffs
Then, after many years of study, Dr. Arsovski realized that the females were undersized and dying young. He also realized those once- comical copulatory trains were made up of many males pursuing just one female. When the female tired, the train would become a frenzied heap of reptiles. "She's literally buried by males," Dr. Arsovski said. He and his co-authors wrote that as part of the tortoises' courtship, they "bump, bite (sometimes to the point of blood loss), mount and finally vigorously poke fleeing females" with a sharp tail tip. Three-quarters of the island's females had genital injuries.
Nonstop male attention seemed to be driving females to early deaths. The scientists wondered whether the stress also keeps females from reproducing; they can store sperm for several years rather than fertilizing their eggs. The researchers began transporting female tortoises to a veterinarian's office for X-rays. The scans revealed that most island females' bellies were empty. Only 15 percent of females from the plateau carried any eggs. But among tortoises from a nearby mainland population, every female was pregnant, her belly packed with up to 11 eggs. One more hint about the bleak lives of the Golem Grad females was that on multiple occasions, scientists saw them throw themselves off the cliffs.
The scientists predict in the new study that Golem Grad's last female tortoise will die in 2083. The high concentration of aggressive males "actually seems to be causing an extinction vortex," said Jeanine Refsnider, an evolutionary ecologist at the University of Toledo in Ohio who was not involved in the study. Dr. Refsnider had "never heard of anything like that" in a natural setting without human disturbances such as pollution or habitat loss, she said, adding, "It's really unusual and disturbing, but it's really fascinating." Something must have initially tipped this population into having too many males. The scientists say it could have been random variation. On the mainland, there are slightly more females than males.
The female Golem Grad tortoises chose flung themselves to death because of the constant sexual aggression of the males
