The EPA has quietly removed the fact that human activity is driving climate change from a handful of pages on its website. The changes comes as the Trump administration takes aggressive action to boost oil, gas and coal, the burning of which is the main driver of global warming.

I found a stash of pictures from some professional headshots I had taken back in 2003. The agent I had back then told me to lose weight. Now when I see them it makes me sad at how much I hated myself after she told me that. Don’t EVER let someone else’s opinion of you ruin your own opinion of you.

"Only waste travels from rich countries to poor, and the supply is endless." When journalist @alexclapp.bsky.social began exploring the waste trade, he found it resembled something he had written about before: the drug market.

A member of Congress could literally bet on their own vote and profit 10x. A White House aide could bet on a tariff decision before it’s announced. Theres ZERO oversight. This isn’t innovation, it’s legalized insider trading on democracy itself. Ban Kalshi politics

Kalshi Is a Corruption Time Bomb—and Congress Is Sitting on It
A platform that lets insiders (and legislators) gamble on their own behavior is a threat to democracy.

Sometimes life is crappy & you pull a muscle trying to bend over to pick up your dropped Cheeto & break a heel off your favorite shoe. Then some days you open a box from a friend & see a pillow full of Keith Urban staring back at you. (She heard me say I wanted a pillow stuffed w/his chest hair😂)

I must have missed all the Law and Order SVU episodes where they didn't interview the victims and just asked the criminals what happened.

This video will make absolutely zero sense unless you watched the show “The Righteous Gemstones.”

For the record, we did NOT allow her to watch that show! We only showed her this scene. She’s been obsessed with the song ever since. 🥒

For decades, the biomedical industry has relied on a compound in horseshoe crab blood to protect medical equipment from contamination, saving untold human lives.

But conservationists say modern medicine’s dependence on this bloodletting is upending a globe-spanning ecosystem.
These crabs probably saved your life. Can we save theirs?
The medical world relies on horseshoe crab blood in the production of vaccines and equipment. A synthetic is available, but companies have been slow to adopt it.

There were children present at this cockfight. It is a federal felony to allow children to events like these, yet here they are. Many Oklahoma lawmakers accepted checks from this group who is caught on-tape at a cockfight they organized. Check out our report, and SHARE THIS!

Hegseth wants to rename the USNS Harvey Milk because it doesn’t fit the “warrior ethos” he’s pushing. He served, was forced out for being gay, and still came back to fight for the country that tried to erase him.

THAT is a warrior.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Bonus daughter, age 9: Did they still cut people’s heads off with guillotines when you were a kid?

Me: Good Lord, no, child! How old do you think I am? On second thought, don’t answer that.

If you aren’t watching “The Studio” you are missing out. Catherine O’Hara, Seth Rogan, Ike Barinholtz, Bryan Cranston, and a ton of A-listers making cameos. Hysterical from beginning to end! Bravo, AppleTV.
