This should be a bigger story.
A judge just ruled Trump’s Energy Secretary illegally ran a secret panel of climate deniers to cook up a biased report and sabotage clean air rules. They didn’t follow the law, didn’t follow the science, and betrayed the public to serve Trump’s agenda.
Disgraceful.

I realize a lot of people a) hate the CIA and/or b) think this site was only good for high school projects, but it was a super useful one-stop shop for basic info on national-level stats. It sucks that our tax dollars paid for it and now it's gone.
They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.

It's no accident the School of Foreign Service is run by Jesuits
Catholic theologians are very important to the defence of the Canadian realm. One Jesuit can delay an evangelical American unit by up to four hours with gentle questioning and fiendish puzzles, given good weather conditions. The catholic school boards will meanwhile flummox occupation administrators

When I was pregnant with Kid2 the only "food" I liked was red Gatorade. One time my husband, concerned for my well-being and also probably how much of me was artificial red food dye, brought home *organic* Gatorade and let me tell you it was Not Good.
Many things are bad. My boring hot take is orange is the best Gatorade flavor, followed by blue. Gatorade Zero and Powerade do not taste as good as Original Gatorade.

One thing I see liberal outlets giving ground on that I feel the need to correct: it’s impossible to “dox” a paid public official
By simply reporting their name, institutional role, and political affiliations

I just posted this drawing of a melting ice cube I made for a completely different project. It has a transparent background and you can use it for any flyers or posters you need! The alphabet at the top is also available. Hope it makes somebody's life easier!

14/ We eliminated polio by treating vaccination as a collective responsibility grounded in evidence and solidarity not as a consumer preference. Suggesting that polio vaccination should be optional ignores history, ignores biology, ignores ethics, and ignores the children who will pay the price. FIN
