A fun thing about the Biblical flood story is that most every culture that lived anywhere near an ocean 10,000 years ago has a flood story; they're clearly all cultural memories of sea level rise in the wake of the melting of the Wisconsin glaciation; and credulous rubes ignore how cool that is.
The Today Show is currently giving a credulous report on researchers maybe "discovering" Noah's Ark. Like, the one from the Bible. A breathless, big-if-true report in which the principle "researcher" is quoting Genesis and the reporter is acting like the biblical flood story is a factual account.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.
No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Fun fact: The "obscure legal statute" cited by the "New York Times" here is a clause in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, known as the McCarran-Walter Act, which was originally written to allow the US government to deport Eastern European Jews suspected of Communist sympathies.

A second German tourist is being held in a detention centre after having her Visa revoked by the U.S.
It’s the same detention centre holding Jessica Brösche, the German tattoo artist who spent 8 days in solitary. She’s been held for 6 weeks.

30 years ago, we did. They were called "local newspapers."
Then the Telecom Act of 1996 allowed essentially unlimited corporate consolidation of media outlets and they killed off local news in the space of a single generation.

Imagine if we had a newsroom in every county that focused on municipal meetings.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you’re thinking of starting a newsroom in your community, you should do it.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.
