I saw that on a big screen at a retro art house in LA 20 years after this film's premiere. Memorable!

I saved myself a few quid, and many hours, (not to mention my dignity) by not travelling to South Wales to twitch the Scops Owl. I simply recreated the experience in my own home. ✅ #UKBirding #UKTwitching #Birds

Vaccine expert Dr. Fiona left her role at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention amid Robert F. Kennedy's "hostile takeover" of the public health agency. She says he is using the agency "to advance anti-science views."

A new investigation revealed that school districts and local governments are reportedly overpaying for supplies because of Amazon contracts that bind them to dynamic pricing.
Rather than allow for competitive bidding, the deals “covertly raise prices and inflate costs for governments.”

This ridiculous new post by Strong Towns correctly identifies a problem - we build too many failing transit capital projects - and completely misses the mark with its proposed solutions - stopping federal funding for them and instead making projects small and phased.
Are Federal Transit Grants Hurting, Not Helping, Public Transportation? | Strong Towns
Three case studies reveal how top-down funding creates rigidity, waste, and systems that cities cannot afford to fix or abandon.

Time for Repubs with a conscience and an independent streak to band together in a solid bloc, as the magats have, to support their elected officials and keep them in power. Vacancy in the offing? Throw your considerable weight behind like-minded R candidates (or even D's?😇).
I’ve lost count of the number of elected Republican officials around the country who have been threatened with MAGA primary challengers for a variety of reasons. It is in the hundreds. What fun it must be to be a Republican who has an independent thought or position!

Trump calls affordability a "hoax."
Meanwhile, a Joint Economic Committee report estimates that his tariffs have cost the average household an extra $1,200 this year.
Tariffs are regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than the rich.

The JWST Just Identified A Supernova From Only 730 Million Years After The Big Bang
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the source of a super-bright flash of light known as a gamma-ray burst, generated by an exploding massive star when the Universe was only 730 million years old. For the first time for such a remote event, the telescope provided a detection of the supernova’s host galaxy. Webb’s quick-turnaround observations verified data taken by telescopes around the world that had been following the gamma-ray burst since its onset, which occurred in mid-March.
