Scientists recently combined DNA of a cheetah with the DNA of a crab.

It went sideways real fast.

Alex Pretti should be alive. We mourn him. He spent his life giving to people whether as an ICU nurse for our veterans or for the woman who fell while ICE agents descended on her and him. Don’t let believe the propaganda from the federal government.

Read the Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents.
January 24, 2026 at 18:42 Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Terrorizing our kids is not going to make our communities safer. ICE needs to end this surge in Minnesota – and I refuse to vote to send more funding to DHS and ICE when they continue to trample on the rights of Minnesotans and make our communities less safe.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

This death metal piece could be the best story I've heard on NPR all year

Death metal's brutal growl may hold clues to healing damaged voices
We look at a study on how death metal singers produce their otherworldly vocals, and therapeutic applications that researchers are investigating.

Been decades since I pulled a tab but in the early ‘80s while a KARE11 investigative intern, I figured how how they could rigged, thanks to collecting baseball cards. Pulltabs, like baseball cards, are (or were) mechanically cut from sheets then boxed. I guessed that pattern repeated in-box. 1/

Happy Solstice everyone!!
An image of a crescent moon with a serene face. There is a stick figure on the top of the moon and a stick figure on the bottom of the moon and they are reaching for each other. Text to the side reads: when Adam noticed the days getting shorter, he thought the world was ending. He fasted and repented for eight days. When he saw the days getting longer, he said “this is the order of the world.” (Avodah Zara 8a) It is in our ancient DNA to feel like the world is slipping away as we lose our days. It is our ancient heritage to realize that the world is still there. When we find connection in each day, we are honoring the way of the world. The signature in the corner says “m.nutz”

Someone much more clever than I am pointed out that Frosty the Snowman could be considered a golem, so I ran with that.
A cartoony-style illustration of a rabbi with a snowman. he's holding a piece of parchment that says "שמות/names" on it. The snowman has arms, legs, a stocky body, and a smile. He's wearing a streimel that says "אמת." In the background, a cossack soldier with a mustache shakes his fist. Above them all is a title in blue and white - פראָסטיק דער גולם. It's all stylized to look like Rankin-Bass cartoons.

This must be what it’s like to meet Odin when you enter Valhalla. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...
The stars were plentiful, and in the aftermath of the lunacy, one of them stood in the Dodgers' clubhouse, still trying to process what happened. Will Klein, the last man out of the Dodgers' bullpen, a reliever who had topped out this year at two innings and 36 pitches, threw four innings of one-hit ball and struck out five on 72 pitches. The last of them, an 86 mph curveball, induced a swing-and-miss from Tyler Heineman and a scream from Klein, who understood what had been asked of him and knew he'd delivered. Games don't become classics without efforts like Klein's -- and he had an admirer who wanted to acknowledge that. Into the Dodgers' clubhouse strode Sandy Koufax, his eminence of Dodgers pitching, who, at 89 years old, looked no worse for the wear at 12:48 a.m. Koufax walked up to Klein, stuck out his hand, looked him in the eyes and said: "Nice going."

Tomato results:
"Sweet 100" cherries great as usual
"Mr Stripey" I got a few good ones, good flavor
I forget what the yellow ones were called but they tasted great and produced a lot of fruit!
Early Girl: lots of fruit but not as exciting flavor (at least for snacking).
Plastic tub with a bunch of tomatoes including medium sized red ones (early girl), red cherry size (sweet 100) and large yellow ones
