Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.

Geoff Bennett has more.

The government has no business spying on court watchers' group chats.

Monitoring the courts is First Amendment-protected activity. Period.
BREAKING: The FBI infiltrated the private Signal chat of a volunteer group monitoring ICE activity at immigration courts.

Spying on New Yorkers for their constitutionally-protected activism is a dangerous return to the discredited—and often lawless—overreach tactics of the McCarthy & Hoover eras.

Is there an actively anti mold dishwasher design out there? Like it pops open once’s it’s finished and shines a bright light inside?

Because my dishwasher, my moms and a friends- all have to deep clean their dishwasher every two months to rid it of pink sludge and mold

My mother in law will soon visit us from Alaska for a week - and we’ve ordered her a long heating pad, an electric heated vest and another heating pad for her shoulders because she’s always cold

Going to feel tropical in here!

It’s past time for King to be voted out here in Maine. He’s been a huge disappointment this past two years- his ignorance on the Gaza genocide and now this. I’m so disappointed

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk scored a resounding victory on Thursday as shareholders approved a pay package of as much as $878 billion over the next decade, endorsing his vision of morphing the EV maker into an AI and robotics juggernaut.

Hot tip for sourcing food to donate to your food pantry- shop CVS for cereal. I shopped their two for $5 deal and got 6 boxes for $15. PLUS I signed up for their rewards program which gives me a $4 coupon for next time #foodpantry

“Just go to a food bank, a church or a charity”

For every meal the food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9.

Even if donations are rapidly scaled up, they won’t be able to meet the needs of 42 million Americans who are about to go hungry.

It’s not sustainable.
