Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Picard's defiant shout of “There are four lights!” is now a meme, but it's his quieter confession to Troi that makes "Chain of Command" into a metaphor for domestic abuse, offering crucial insight into the experiences of survivors:

I strongly dislike "deliveristas". Stop trying to make service work cute and more appealing. It's a job, like any other and babyfying it gives it a softer edge when this entire article is about wage theft.
Incredible contrast between this and Keir Starmer running a delivery driver over

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

i don't think removing, like, noem or rubio or hegseth would matter all *that* much in the scheme of things, but i think removing miller would be substantial. i think he's going to be one of the hardest people to dislodge as a result (also because he's not in a senate-confirmed role)
Millerism means Minneapolis times 100 for a decade. It would tend the United States apart. It is something close to Milosevic’s line.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
