So is anybody else incandescently angry about the Afghan refugees that are trapped in limbo and being psychologically tortured by US state department staff on a US Base in Qatar, or what.

Like the poor Tommy in 1917 trying to give water to the enraged and burning German pilot.

‘We Are Not Expendable’: Southaven Residents Fight xAI Plan for 41 Gas Turbines to Power Musk's Grok Many residents around Southaven, Mississippi, oppose xAI’s data centers and presence in their backyards, fearing for their health and environment.

“You can feel it rattling your eardrums,” Devan Jenkins, who lives in Memphis’ Whitehaven neighborhood, said while describing the sound of the turbines that power one of Elon Musk's xAI data centers. “It makes you feel like you're going insane.”

What's hilarious is that these putatively commie-hating right-wing anti-coffee bros all end up sounding like Karl Marx

We’ve all been there. Could write ten volumes alone on “Being 2nd In Line With Your Rapidly Deteriorating Kids Only to Have the Guy Ahead Hem/Haw Over Which Scratch Offs to Buy.”

Friends! Why did a judge rule that Trump administration official Kari Lake acted illegally in gutting the Voice of America? And why does it matter?

I'll break it down on NPR's 1A

Like when the Georgia sheriff said of a white mass murderer of Asian women a few years ago that he “just had a bad day.” Poor lil’ fella.

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

$7 million PER MONTH on lobster tail and $15 million per month on ribeye is a small price to pay for the war fighting precision and brilliance of Hegseth’s Pentagon! Why waste that money on healthcare, medical research, arts funding, SNAP benefits, or education?

Yellow Star-of-Bethlehem Gagea lutea out in force in a Gloucestershire woodland today. About a fortnight earlier than I've seen them previously, so very glad I took a punt. @bsbibotany.bsky.social
