Railroads will be allowed to reduce inspections and rely more on technology to spot track problems

Next we're going to slash framerate standards so that we can bring back the Atari 2600.
Sean Duffy on slashing fuel economy standards: "This rule will actually allow you to bring back the 1970s station wagon. Maybe a little wood paneling on the side. We can bring back choice to consumers."

the Comet Ping Pong attack was nine years ago today—weeks after Trump’s 2016 win—and inspired by a conspiracy theory promoted by Jack Posobiec, who was recently invited to the White House, demands antifa be designated a terrorist group, and asked questions as “press” at the Pentagon this week

The longer "AI" companies are allowed to essentially bribe RAM makers for preferential production, the more RAM chips will be unavailable and the more the cost of *every product that uses RAM* will increase.

Important to note that the reason RAM is more expensive isn't because OpenAI is ransacking store shelves and buying all the retail stock.
They aren't using those. Instead "AI" companies dumped an insane amount of money on RAM manufacturers to tie up their production lines with parts "AI" needs.

Which countries have the most representative governments?
You guessed it; the Scandinavian countries.
The graph shows the share in government in the given category minus the share in the population (from 2000-2021).

Vaccinating babies against hepatitis B is a simple recommendation that saves lives—one based on solid science, & that has led to a dramatic drop in preventable infections and deaths.
Ending this recommendation will cost lives. RFK Jr. must answer to Congress.

The most dangerous moment in every authoritarian regime is when it realizes that its power has crested and is now falling. This is when they realize that if they are to achieve their maximalist ambitions, now they have to throw the dice — because no matter how bad the odds, their odds are best now.
