I’m delighted to report the existence of a Chocolate Pot and Sugar Set.

An ebay listing. The main photo is of two, light green vessels, ornately decorated with delicate pink rose patterned and gilded edges and handles. Both have square gold bases with a slender neck that holds the piece a few inches off the table. The piece in the foreground is round with a pair of loving cup handles. In the background is a taller, slender pitcher, with a long, gracefully curved spout. They sit on an old fashioned lace doily, once white but now aged to a light tea color. The listing title is Antique Limoges Chocolate Pot &
Sugar Set 1907

“He said the Panthers were armed…to protect protesters’ right to assemble, showcasing a style of activism more associated with the 1960s than the 2020s.” I’d say “a style of *Black activism,” because plenty of white people show up to protests armed and keep their permit.

During the 1973 oil crisis, my mom still had her 1963 Ford Falcon convertible. After someone siphoned out the gas, she put a locking cap on it. Guess what she’s doing again this weekend for Trump’s energy crisis?

Screenshot of a text with my mom:
Mom- Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I was busy filing a police report on the theft of almost thirty dollars of gas out of my car. Rob will check camera footage and will get me a locking gas tank cover for the car. It's
"Deja vue all over again" to quote Yogi Berra. I had to buy a locked gas cap after gas was stolen from my Falcon in the early '70s.
My car is now going to be backed up on the driveway every night until it's installed.

The story does have a kinda happy ending though. Three, count them three, investigations spun up.

Screen shot of quoted cbs article.

The report to Congress confirmed ICE's
Homeland Security Investigations branch is investigating the shooting, a move current and former agency officials described as highly unusual for an office that has historically not investigated use-of-force incidents. The report said CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility is also reviewing the incident internally, and that the DHS Inspector General has been notified.

“They “disappeared” my hair” 🤣 Dude that’s your hair. All of it.

Time magazine cover on Donald Trump. The photo is from a very low angle. He is in bright sunshine and the photo exposure has whited out the (presumable) sky surrounding him. The angle is from his side, partially turned away, and he is looking up to the upper right corner of the magazine cover.

From this angle we see not only his substantial neck waddle above the knot of his red tie, but also underneath his swirled hair hovering precariously above his head. The carefully swept and hairsprayed sliver of hair is so thin and held so far above his head that we see his bare forehead and practically bald head. It strips away any pretense that he has hair on his upper head.

The extremely bright sun shining through the cotton candy hair also blows out the exposure, making the whole swirl translucent.

Is this incident in March part of an explanation of Trump’s autopen obsession? Link to follow

Screenshot from Raw Story’s article.

President Donald Trump is once again raising eyebrows with his claim on Friday that he didn't sign a proclamation invoking the arcane wartime law, which his administration leaned on to carry out last weekend's deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members, CNN reported.
The stunning denial came as Trump took questions from reporters before boarding Marine One, including one surrounding the fury U.S. District Judge James Boasberg unleashed on DOJ attorneys at a hearing Friday as he pressed them on why the proclamtion invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 was
"signed in the dark."

Screenshot 2

"And I don't know when it was signed because I didn't sign it," Trump told reporter. "Other people handled it. But Marco Rubio's done a great job, and he wanted them out. And we go along with that. We want to get criminals out of our country."

Yet another existential threat to the American economy and dominance of the dollar. And wow I missed Lutnick axing the Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee and the Bureau of Economic Analysis!

Excerpt of Salon article by Heather Digby Parton:

Just last week, the administration eliminated the Federal Economic Statistics Advisory
Committee and the Bureau of Economic Analysis, just days after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced that he was changing the way GDP is calculated, which would provide more upbeat figures. He told Fox News:
"Governments historically have messed with GDP. They count government spending as part of GDP.
So I'm going to separate those two and make it transparent."

Pull quotes:

Statistics released by agencies such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) and the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) are used by the Federal Reserve Bank to set inflation
policy and interest rates. They also form the basis on which businesses and investors take decisions.

Pull quotes:

If the data were manipulated, even in a small way, that will affect the credibility of our entire statistical system," she says. "And that's going to have global financial implications, because people around the world rely on the quality of U.S. economic data to make decisions."

I don’t seem to be able to change the sleep schedule to make the regular wake up alarm change now that it already went off for today. So far then I can’t test it. These steps did fix the one-off alarm sound to match the set volume.

As is typical, many users have reported that their alarms are going off, but are silent. For that reason, it's always worth double-checking the volume settings on your iPhone.

How to check the volume of your iPhone alarm
You may also want to toggle off Change with Buttons, as it may have accidentally become enabled at some point.

Applelnsider also suggests deleting and re-creating your alarms -- especially those that you have set to repeat - for good measure. Also ensure that you haven't accidentally bumped it to the wrong period, such as setting an alarm for 5:00 PM when you meant to set one for 5:00 AM.
You may also want to turn off Attention-Aware Features, should they be enabled. This was the workaround for the issue when it cropped up in 2024.
1. Open Settings
2. Tap Accessibility
3. Tap on Face ID & Attention
4. Toggle Attention-Aware Features off
Attention-Aware Features enable your iPhone to use Face ID to check whether or not you're paying attention to your device and act accordingly. When enabled, your display will lower the volume of your alerts if you're looking at your iPhone. Unfortunately, it seems that sometimes the feature persists, even when you are no longer looking at your iPhone.

I repeat, the reckless Trump administration is ALREADY hiding bird flu data and recommendations. It feels like our only chance to mitigate is a massive public education program. Star power, funding for paid media, non-political encouragement to demand pandemic-prevention from electeds.

Headline:

C.D.C. Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday,
confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.

What's the mortality rate of bird flu?
Overall, the mortality (death) rate for bird flu in humans is high - historically, about half of all people with known infections have died.
But most recent cases in the U.S. have been
mild.
