Cool, cool. Lots of reporting that theres a suspected pneumonic plague outbreak in Russia, and several hospitals are under forced quarantine. Obviously, it’s Russia, so accurate information is scarce.

I kind of feel like if the administration wasn't so ideological that they could put in place some patriotic efficiency efforts, like working at home or encouraging smaller efficient cars. However, it is always opposite day with them.

the bulk majority of declines is happening- the markets are being manipulated in new ways- fuel tax suspensions, and arm twisting G7 into releasing strategic supplies of refined products, not exactly the most organic decline

The Heritage Apple Corps have found trees in central Oregon that are genetic matches for some of the rare "lost" apple varieties we find in the islands. With more sampling, both here and there, we hope to be able to properly identify these varieties and bring them back into production.

These 130-year-old Central Oregon pioneer apple trees are still bearing fruit
Apple trees planted by Central Oregon's first homesteaders 130 years ago are still producing fruit, and some varieties are so rare that DNA tests came back as unique.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

Only if we let him. Musk absolutely stole 2024 for Trump, but not in the way people think. He spent hundreds of millions. He manipulated the X algorithm. He literally bought votes in multiple states. He didn’t - and can’t - change any votes, and nobody is falling for his bullshit this time.

Only about half of full-time private sector workers have access to short-term disability coverage. For part-timers it's 1 in 5. (This is per Bureau of Labor Statistics data from March 2025.) Your ability to fully recover from a heart attack should never depend on your employer's benefits package.
