The bit of nasty reality here is that the proven "children" means one 17-year-old girl. When a teen girl meets a horny ol' man at a party, particularly in that sort of company, the word "predator" takes on a meaning opposite to what the Ladies' Aid had in mind.

Despite what you hear from fossil fuel-funded politicians, the U.K has just generated a record amount of clean, domestic wind energy. Enough to power 23 million homes! U.K decarbonisation policy is a recipe for energy security.

Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 💡 NOAA turns science into safety — for coasts, communities, & the climate. It helps safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems from rising seas and extreme weather.
A powerful ocean scene shows waves crashing against a row of buildings under a dark, stormy sky. Overlaid in bold white text: “How much would you pay to protect your coast?”A square graphic with an aerial view of swirling ocean currents in teal and blue. Bold white text reads: “Only $21/year from the average taxpayer helps fund NOAA.”A square infographic with a dark stormy ocean background. The white header text reads: “Your $21 funds these essential services.” Below are six dark blue boxes, each with a white icon and label:
	1.	Coastal Mapping – Detailed charts of shorelines, navigation hazards, and more
	2.	Weather Monitoring – Vital data for tracking storms, extreme heat, and drought
	3.	Marine Resource Management – Conservation of ocean life and sustainable fisheries
	4.	Coastal Resilience – Infrastructure that withstands storms and rising seas
	5.	Storm Research – Studies of severe weather patterns and impacts

The graphic uses clean lines, oceanic tones, and emphasizes the small taxpayer cost for these vital environmental services.
