Why solidified petroleum foam is the worst thing humans have done with the idea of making petroleum into foam and fiber, example several million.
A 1910 house fire had between 7 and 15 minutes of escape time without severe smoke inhalation or injury.
A 2025 one? Under 4 minutes. Often 2-3.

BBC News non-stop reporting on the fire at the Swiss nightclub like “nobody knows what started the fire” while also showing footage of the inside of the club where robots are carrying around bottles of champagne shooting fireworks out of the top. I’m not a forensic investigator but I have a theory

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

1. Silicon Valley Bank didn't get bailed out. It failed, and was acquired.
2. FDIC didn't do any special favors for SVB bankers, and didn't do it for silicon valley crypto bros. They did it to keep the promise that leads to stability: " When you put money in a US Bank, your deposits are safe."

Most underrated Biden admin mistake was bailing out Silicon Valley Bank.
SVB bet big on low interest rates and lost. Rich tech VCs who put too many eggs in that basket generated a bank run, then called for govt money.
Got their bailout, helped elect Trump, and now reaping rewards from corruption.

As both the House & Senate look to repeal Section 230, I'm curious who they think should be held liable for the comments they've left open on the Epstein photo dump...? Them? Dropbox?

Sea squirts are tunicates, which are fascinating. They look like sponges and are filter feeders, but are chordates (vertebrate related). They are evolutionarily closer to humans than to sponges.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.
They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.
Another horrific story.
