Earlier this week, all 74 of the Northwest’s endangered orcas gathered into what researchers call a superpod — a sort of all-inclusive family reunion.
Rare orca superpod comes to Seattle
They came together Sunday evening not far from Port Townsend. Why, no one can say for sure, except the participants themselves — and no humans speak their language.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters

I know it's all so stupid, but this isn't why it's DoD. Army/War and Navy being separate was outdated and impractical, needed to unify. "Defense" as a common name for that started w/ "Minister of Defence" in the UK, created for the same reason by notoriously woke war-loser Winston Churchill.
Trump: "We have officially renamed the Dept of Defense back to the original name, Dept of War. And remember we won World War 1, we won World War 2, we won everything in between. We won everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name. We became politically correct"

Last I heard, landlords, supermarkets and other places don’t take “patriotism” instead of 💸💰💸
1. I didn't realize that "patriotism" was a prerequisite for the job of air traffic controller.
2. If "patriotism" means continuing to support a gov't that continually sh*ts on you, maybe it's not a good thing.

So this administration negotiated a lower price for Ozempic while withholding SNAP benefits so that the elderly, disabled and children will go hungry and letting ACA subsidies lapse, which will result in fewer people on health insurance, thus driving up the cost of health insurance and medical care.
