Anyone who swims in this waterway is in-Seine
For the first time in over 100 years, people in Paris can now swim in the Seine River, thanks to a $1.5 billion cleanup project. Three designated swimming areas near famous landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame are opening to the public this summer.

For those thinking Medicaid cuts won't affect their healthcare because they have private insurance, most health providers are cash strapped and are buoyed in solvency by the guarantee of Medicaid.
Medicaid cuts won't just affect the poor. Hospitals will close.

But are we surprised? This isn't a capitalistic society. It's corporatistic one. One where the biggest companies who employee only 3% of America's workforce own 85% of Congress.
SBA peons be damned.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

I've been called many names.
But today, while making a stand for common human decency, for championing "love thy neighbor"...
I was called an enabling evil demon.

I've heard of men who can pleasure themselves orally, but until I watched Trump's lie-filled address last night, I had never witnessed such an act.

He didn't disrespect the United States, he put Trump and his lap dog Vance in their place and their fragile egos wilted. A five-time draft dodger telling a true hero how he should protect his country?
Zelenskyy has the biggest balls in the world.

Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms
A photograph of a short-eared owl mid-flight was the last Instagram post biology professor Carl Bergstrom shared before announcing his departure from the platform Jan. 10.

This is fintax... finance tax. Fees that do more than cover incurred costs. They're a revenue stream that punishes the poorest. It's literally the rich getting richer off the poor.

I used to be a denier. But as a science enthusiast, the evidence was clear. Global warming means the average temperature is increasing, however some areas will be cold.
The atmosphere is acting like a lava lamp with pockets of hot/cold passing each other. It's not supposed to work this way.

As climate scientists predicted decades ago, climate change means weather chaos

I think the chances of me ever rejoining the GOP are nil.
When the former staunch defenders of the Constitution say, "Yeah, it's probably illegal, but I'm not losing any sleep over it." (Lyndsey Graham). All courage is gone.
They don't care about the Constitution as long as they're in charge.
