When Trump’s broke brain muses about Iran destroying San Diego does he think that reads as a woke city to a Nebraska crowd or does he really fantasize about losing 100,000 active duty military on his watch?

I've never tried it but I also think helicopters are aircraft you use out of desperation, not as standard transportation.

nobody ever seems to get motion sickness in a helicopter in the movies and yet I hear this is a substantial risk, worse than the back of an ambulance

These Texas doctors want to make sure people know their abortion rights during medical emergencies
Texas passed the Life of the Mother Act in 2025, aiming to clarify the narrow medical exception to the state's abortion ban. Advocates are still working to spread the word.

Scientists are developing semi-transparent, tinted solar panels that let specific wavelengths of light through to crops below. Initial results show same yields to those grown in full sun. Could solve a major issue with solar farms.

Finally: Rose-Tinted Solar Panels Could Let Crops And Electricity Share The Same Land
Plants are the original solar panels, and they're very good at converting light into energy – red and blue light, that is.

If I want one thing from my intermittent fame, it is to be as fondly remembered as Peter Lorre was; a staunchly pro-union actor who animators kept putting in cartoons as way of middle finger to their bosses. I can think of no greater honour.

no no, this is going to be fantastic. there's nothing better than well-fatted root veg that's been roasted to caramelization. I make roast veg with olive oil all winter long, add store-bought felafel at the end, and it's great with flatbread.

They are really beautiful en masse at dawn. But my mother was an enthusiast to the point of crewing for several pilots. That sounds dirty but it mostly meant getting up before dawn, driving around central AB, and apologising to farmers for fucking up their fields by dragging a basket across them

If the lessons Democrats (& democrats) draw from DOGE is “right idea, wrong implementation,” we are doomed. Everyone involved in the unprecedented crime that was DOGE needs to go to jail forever, & Democrats need to rebuild all of the programs & agencies first, not do digital management consulting 🤦‍♂️
