Northern Ireland's High Court granted a temporary injunction on ‌Saturday stopping a Protestant parade from passing through a Catholic area on Sunday, following a challenge by residents to the overturning of an almost 30-year ban on the route.

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.
“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

And you definitely don't want to use a high-powered 532nm green laser, because it can permanently burn and disable digital camera CMOS or CCD sensors. Green light is absorbed at a very high efficiency by these electronic sensors, meaning concentrated beams easily melt or overload the pixel array.

The United States is advancing a whole-of-government campaign to weaken the ICC and undermine international law, shielding individuals particularly from the U.S., Israel, and Russia accused of mass murder, mass rape, and the systematic kidnapping and torture of civilians, including children.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Trump once said tax dodging is a sport. Now that he controls the referees, he wants to end the game. He’s pushing to shut down audits into years he paid little or no taxes—while demanding $10 billion from taxpayers for the release of tax returns he should have voluntarily made public. Outrageous.

Trump’s sons signed a weapons deal with the Air Force during a war Congress never authorized. Amazon paid $40 million for a Melania documentary, then won a $581 million no-bid Pentagon contract. The corruption is not hidden anymore. It is the business model. November cannot come fast enough.

democratic women's caucus + chair calling for both Gonzales and Swalwell to be expelled if they don't resign
IG post from accounts repteresalf and demwomencaucus posted around 12:30pm april 12.

Men in power rely on the silence of the women they have abused.

Both Reps Tony Gonzalez and Eric Swalwell believed it was acceptable to sexually abuse staff and still run fo rand serve in elected office. They clearly did not expect there would be any consequences for their actions.

Thankfully, the women refused to be silenced.

Reps Gonzales and Swalwell exploited their staffers' ideals and commitment to public service as vulnerability. These staffers work incredibly hard and instead of being treated with respect, they were preyed upon.

These women have suffered enough. Now we must act to protect them and make sure there is accountability.

Reps Gonzales and Swalwell are not fit to serve. They must resign. If they do not, I will vote to expel them. --Teresa
