Whoa … this is really strange.

Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

BASH: The vast majority of Somalis in Minnesota are US citizens or legal residents. So why send ICE there?

HOMAN: There's a large illegal Somali community there. There's a large illegal alien community there. If you're a US citizen, you have nothing to fear.

This is an excellent read. The more you know. #Science 🧪

“… we were advancing toward elimination of hepatitis B in the United States,” says Ward “I am deeply concerned that if the ACIP rescinds this policy, they’re going to contribute to the spread of hepatitis B rather than its elimination.”

This is the cost russia has paid to lose more territory than they claimed in the first days of this war, and it’s approaching 4 years.

They are losers.

No one deserves being handed land of a sovereign people for such losses.

Ann Lowe was the Black genius behind Jackie Kennedy’s iconic wedding gown.

Before the fashion world was ready to credit a Black woman’s talent, Lowe was already designing for America’s most powerful families. Brilliant. Bold. Innovative. Undervalued. And nearly erased from history.

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember

- Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent

- Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team
