I've put together a song bundle fundraiser for Sudan & Palestine with money going to Doctors Without Borders, The Sameer Project, & The Gaza Project.

Pay as much or as little (0$ if you like, we'd just ask you to share the link) as you can afford for 21 tracks from artists around the world.
The Hear Something Do - suggested $15, by A Global Collection of Artists
21 track album

We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm.

Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

It’s dispiriting that this is what getting a COVID vaccination now looks like to this chronic asthmatic.

Les Schtroumpfs interdits d’alcool : le drôle d’arrêté signé par un maire qui accueille un rassemblement de petits personnages bleus
La petite commune bretonne de Landerneau tentera, pour la troisième fois en cinq ans, de battre le record du monde de rassemblement de Schtroumpfs. Mais l’arrêt au bar sera interdit.
