Sad update, my beautiful Blini passed in her sleep. She had a number of health issues and a recent surgical procedure (that was necessary) plus the heatwaves were all too much. She passed quietly at night at home. Mimo is so far doing ok. Blini got me through many difficult times, I miss her dearly

Anyone planning a holiday in France, be warned that another heatwave is coming next week — the fourth this summer.

Should Travelers Give Up on Summer in Western Europe Because of the Heat?
A favorite vacation option may be at risk because of rising temperatures. Even those sticking with their summer plans agree: More air conditioning would help.

Early morning flight with Gwen Stefani (and No Doubt) years ago. Even in casual sweats and a time when everyone was groggy, she looked fabulous.

AI bet goes awry: Oracle fires 21,000 employees | The Jerusalem Post
Oracle laid off ~13% of its staff to fund a $300B computing deal with OpenAI. Now, a credit downgrade and $7B in required power grid guarantees put the massive project in jeopardy.

The bagel’s journey from Jewish immigrant food to American breakfast staple
The bagel in America is an immigrant story with a hole in the middle. It came with Eastern European Jews escaping poverty and antisemitism, landing in New York street carts and bakeries.

Yeah, bragging about having support of mass murder Kissinger or rightwing wacko Liz Cheney makes sense though right? JFC these bed wetters are the worst and should spend a lot more time asking why so many support the DSA over who has been governing.

DSA is on the upswing now because it is the one flavor of Democrats actually governing right now. It would be helpful if other flavors did too, especially if they don't want DSA to run the table.

Faster response times by the Paris fire department thanks to new larger bike lanes is something cities such as Berlin, Montréal and other cities should consider as they turn back the clock on cycling. It's also something progressive cities should think about when building out.

The Paris fire service report 2025 shows time to arrival at a call out has decreased since the major roll out of protected cycle lanes in Paris (from 7m23s in 2019 to 6m15s in 2025). Increasing safety for cyclists and discouraging cars from the city center has shortened emergency response times.

Enten on polling for Trump's war on Iran: "Historically unpopular is the phrase I'd use. The war was unpopular to start & it's become even less popular... 40 points underwater!... more than 2 in 3 Americans say the Iran was not worth it... even less than the 40% who said the Iraq war was worth it."

Microsoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. They'll drain 1000s of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter.
