If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.
Reminder to journalists: American judicial orders stop at the US border.
Great coverage and very well explained. Too bad the headline writer emphasized a quote about coral reefs and that you used a picture of a reef in the Caribbean.
My thoughts exactly.
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”
Attributable to a CERN glitch in 2008. Or not?
Less than a month before Christmas, some local children sat down and wrote their letters to Robin Hood because they had a feeling Santa Claus wouldn't be visiting their homes this year and this was their only hope...

The irony is that a century ago, the exact same kind of religious bigotry that Cuomo’s embraced down the stretch — we can’t elect someone from that faith or they’ll impose it on all of us! — was aimed squarely at Catholics like Cuomo.
The promise of 2026.
“Hello, operator? Get me 2026…I just want to tell her it’s finally looking better.”
Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.
Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.
Worth the time for good perspectives...
Hear! Hear! Laura, I was looking for the link…

@mozilla.org Is this from you?
Getting difficult to keep up with technological advances, eh?
Mad that I got maybe halfway through Ian McDonald's Luna, and after tolerating how all the sons in the family are out to kill each other off, and then find out the top-lawyer daughter gets introduced via a description of her masturbation technique. Never going back. Yuck!

Yup: Good summary.
I struggle to understand why exactly Congress decided to make itself irrelevant
They have made the world living hell for no reason whatsoever. People will ask why this happened in a decade and there will be tremendous effort to make it more complicated than “they were evil, stupid, and bored”
There are a couple of kids in my nephews's class who weren't born in the US, and the class has decided (w/o teacher input) that if ICE shows up in they're all going to pretend not to speak English. 10yos reinventing "I am Spartacus" because they don't want their friends to get disappeared.
