It turned out that things like morals, empathy and dignity are like trees---they take decades to grow. They can also be clear cut just like trees: when ppl are doused daily with fear, bigotry and hate.

Brennan eventually acknowledges that gynecologists and obstetricians have determined mifepristone is safe — but then demands again to know why the government isn’t launching a study to crack down on its usage.

US oligarch Elon Musk officially endorses the Pro-Russia collaborator Fidias Panayiotou.
Panayiotou voted in favour of international child rapists, kidnappers and then travelled to party with them and hold closed-door meetings.

Blame Trump’s tariff chaos and the lowest cattle inventories in decades. Tariffs jack up costs. Supply shrinks. Plants close. Towns hollow out.

When humans feel stressed, we release tiny chemical changes in our sweat and exhaled breath. Dogs pick up these shifts instantly and can distinguish stress scents from neutral ones with remarkable accuracy. Even small emotional changes leave a chemical trail.

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.
The 25th anniversary of Bush v Gore is today. The conspiracy mongering & corruption of the GOP has been brewing for a long time.
Roberts, Barrett and Kavanaugh were all on Bush's legal team, where they pushed unfounded legal theories. SC justices were already enmeshed in voter fraud myths.

They didn’t mention they all sell PFAS-coated pans.
