"The first body washed ashore on Trinidad’s northeastern coast soon after the United States carried out its first strike in September on a boat in the Caribbean. Villagers said the corpse had burn marks on its face and was missing limbs, as if it had been mangled by an explosion. The tides deposited another corpse on a nearby beach days later, drawing a wake of vultures. Its face was similarly unrecognizable, and its right leg appeared to have been blown off."

This headline is absurd. Has USA Today abandoned journalism in favor of running PR for the trump mad house?

Trump's ridiculous (and likely illegal) tariffs are what raised prices in the first place.
Graph showing U.S. inflation for bananas from April 2025 (when trump imposed tariffs) through September 2025. During this period, banana prices rose by 4.5%. Graph showing U.S. inflation for coffee from April 2025 (when trump imposed tariffs) through September 2025. During this period, coffee prices rose by 9.8%.

No one should be the least bit surprised.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), research suggests around 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 20 boysTrusted Source experience CSA in the United States. The National Center for Victims of Crime provides the following statistics from research on CSA: In self-report studies, 20% of female adults and 5% to 10% of male adults recall a childhood incident of sexual abuse or assault. Across 1 year, 16% of people ages 14 to 17 years had been sexually victimized in the United States. Across the course of their lifetime, 28% of people ages 14 to 17 years have been sexually victimized in the United States. Across the course of their lifetime, 28% of people ages 14 to 17 years have been sexually victimized in the United States. In children ages 12 to 17 years, 1.6% experienced rape or sexual assault. Research from 1986 to 2005 suggests 63% of females who have experienced sexual abuse from a family member also reported attempted rape or rape after they were 14 years old. Children who experienced attempted rape or rape as an adolescent were 13.7 times more likely to experience attempted rape or rape in their first college year. However, sexual abuse may be more commonTrusted Source than the statistics suggest, as many children may not report sexual abuse or may wait until later in life to report it.

He's despicable. He pushed the whole "rigged" narrative before Trump did and his toxic ranting infected the Dem electorate and led to trump winning his first term. I hate him with the fire of a million suns.

Murc's Law
A flow chart demonstrating Murc's Law. From https://whereofonecanspeak.com/2023/03/02/youve-probably-never-heard-of-murcs-law-but-youve-seen-it-in-action-lots-of-times/ 'Murc’s Law is “the widespread assumption that only Democrats have any agency or causal influence over American politics”. In other words, Democrats are responsible for Republicans being the way they are and doing the things they do, either because Democrats provoked them or failed to control them.'

Re: acorn supply, think climate vs. weather. There is an overall trend toward increased food supply due to a warmer climate, but individual year harvests vary based on crop cycles.
"Although rising temperatures have led to more frequent bumper crops of acorns, the nuts still produce good and bad harvests every two to five years as part of their normal crop cycle."

"Peasant revolts were not only the result of hostility towards irrational taxation, but also large-scale movements against the government that went beyond mere opposition to overtaxation by wealthy local families. Leading figures of the peasant army such as Wŏnjong, Aeno, Kihwŏn, and Yanggil, attracted peasants and developed their respective forces, ultimately causing Silla to crumble into a weakened state. Later Koguryŏ and Later Paekche were then founded by Kungye and Ky?nhwon who had championed equality and redistribution of land that peasants so greatly desired. Intensified mass exploitation in later Silla had increasingly fettered and interrupted peasant lives on a daily basis. Unequal conditions of income through the development of commerce and peasant self-awareness became the crucial factors underlying countrywide peasant uprisings. Impoverished peasants greatly desired to extricate themselves from poverty but the difference in their wealth in relation to the aristocracy or merchants made their own deprivation appear even more severe. As a result, peasants adhered blindly to yusa religion or myths such as the ch'amwi myth. In fact, although the peasants sought the redistribution of land, !hey believed that the only way to realize this was to eliminate the Silla dynasty and construct a new system entirely."
