No quibble with your main point, but F150 *used to be* the best selling vehicle for nearly 50 years but that streak ended in 2024 - by Toyota RAV4

So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts. Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible? Makes me feel seen, heard, supported, etc www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

New preprint up! We sequenced hundreds of samples from across one of Earth's oldest living organisms - the Pando aspen clone - to understand how mutations accumulate and spread in long-lived clonal organisms. Our results were…surprising. 1/30

For most people the phrase "mass shooting" conjures up an image of a random act of violence in a public space; that's what MoJo tracks. As horrific as they are, DV shootings just don't have the same public safety implications.

Your regular reminder that GVA "stats" are bogus and mostly filled with gang shootouts etc. A far more credible database of actual mass shootings is maintained by Mother Jones. Needless to say, there weren't in fact 24 mass shootings in GA this year: www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

If Alex Jones needs cash I would pay $20 to kick him in the crotch. I’d pay $50 to hit him three times with a bat. If he flinches it doesn’t count. Bet lots of other folks would line up, too

there are over 16,000 golf courses in the us.
On Monday, Google published some metrics it will use to benchmark that progress, focused predominantly on the data centers that drive its revenue, many of which rely on water to keep cool. Here’s the overall number to ponder: In 2021, Google’s global data centers consumed 4.3 billion gallons of water, or the amount of water it would take to irrigate 29 golf courses in the southwest U.S.

Just found this 2020 NYT obit for Charles Wetli, the guy who invented excited delirium. He claimed a series of deaths of black sex workers were caused by a condition unique to black women in which they just drop dead after mixing sex & cocaine. They were actually murdered by a serial killer.
nytimes.com
Charles Wetli, Medical Examiner for T.W.A. Flight 800 Crash, Dies at 76 (Published 2020)
Families blamed him for not identifying the victims fast enough, but in the end, he “put a name on every bit of human remains recovered.”

It's not terrible to regard every embryo as a person. It's no more terrible than a Jainism monk refraining from killing insects by sweeping their path. If you think you should have an extremely expanded circle of concern like that - fine. It just shouldn't be imposed on your fellow citizens.

1) It’s illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. 2) One very strong incentive for them to comply is fear that detection will lead to removal. 3) Those who would have us think mass illegal voting goes on anyway bear the burden of proving that. 4) They haven’t done so.

Perfectly phrased by Mark Jacob (former editor for the Chicago Tribune.) "One candidate is old and makes verbal flubs. "The other candidate is old, makes verbal flubs, faces 91 felony counts and wants to be a dictator." www.stopthepresses.news/p/obsessing-...

Obsessing on gaffes is lazy journalism
We should be less concerned about minor things politicians do accidentally than major things they do on purpose.
