I watched a video last night recommending that we renew our passports...regardless of when it expire. Mine expires in 2027.
When I went to the State Dept. website, it said that I cannot renew until a year before it expires.
Any of you know if this is a new policy, or has it been this way?

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”?
But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"?
Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Partial sequence from a Wyoming patient confirms H5N1 D1.1 genotype with PB2 E627K
It’s a key adaptation for mammalian replication.

Well, here's a fun video! I don't think it's something actually flying in the air, but an optical illusion (the lights from the car on the bridge reflecting inside the camera lens). BUT, I could be wrong. What do YOU think?

I have seen some posts that espouse a kind of sympathy for the now-frustrated Trump voters, who seem to regret their vote.
I take a far less charitable position. Actions have consequences.
Rebecca Watson examines this topic, and I fully agree with her take. How about you?

Just watched: Do Not Open-
This 2024 joint is a nice little horror in the vein of those other "internet/Chat/Unfriending" type flicks, but it's nice and spooky, atmosphere-wise, and with a fairly original spin.
Recommended for anyone who likes the genre.
Check it out! 😃 ❤
