@thexylom.com's new fiscal year started on October 1st. Given how much philanthropic and tech-adjacent funding has collapsed in Trump 2.0, I can tell you with no uncertainty that without getting 250 more paying monthly members by next year, we will have to scale back on our reporting and staffing.

According to America.gov, it’s not totally clear if it’s illegal to marry an eagle, so I might still have a chance!
what part of U.S. law states that I cannot marry an eagle, because TBH I'm skeptical
There is no statute titled "you cannot marry an eagle." Two separate rules apply.
Marriage is between two people
Federal law treats marriage, for federal purposes, as a union between 2 individuals that is valid where it was entered into.
• 1U.S.C. § 7 7
States issue marriage licenses. An eagle is not a person who can get a license or consent. I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice.
Eagles are separately protected
Bald and golden eagles may not be taken, possessed, molested, or disturbed without a permit.
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C.
668-668d) 7
• "Take" includes capture, molest, or disturb.Eagles are separately protected
Bald and golden eagles may not be taken, possessed, molested, or disturbed without a permit.
• Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C.
668-668d) 7
• "Take" includes capture, molest, or disturb.
Trying to "marry" an eagle would still run into those possession and disturbance rules.
I cannot verify a single line of the U.S. Code that saysạẠmarriage to an eagle is prohibited" by those words. The practical bar is that marriage is for two individuals, and eagles are protected wildlife.

One of the things that is going to change is that we’re never ever again going to be able to be dominated by public officials who tell us, ‘Trust the experts,’” Mr. Kennedy said during the Tuesday session.

“If somebody tells you, ‘Masks work, trust the experts,’ A.I. may tell you otherwise,” he added. “If somebody tells you, ‘Social distancing works, trust the experts,’ A.I. may correct that. And if somebody tells you that a vaccine will prevent transmission and infection, or you need to take it to protect your grandmother, A.I. may say it actually doesn’t do that.”

I recognise that bird! It’s the sausage-addicted kookaburra
real life
Sausage-addicted kookaburra too fat to fly
Story summary:
• Bird became fat on BBQ handouts
• Too fat to escape manling by dogs
• She weighed a whopping 540g
TOO many tasty sausages almost killed this kookaburra.
But health worries weren't the threat. She became so obese from barbecue handouts she could not fly when attacked by dogs in a Mosman park.
After weighing in at 540g. 40 per cent heavier than a typical adult bird, the kookaburra has been sent to bird boot camp to shed weight, prompting Taronga Zoo to wam we are killing our wildlife with kindness.
