The Whisky Library True Scotch Lovers Must Visit - Foodie If you truly love a good Scotch whisky, then this extensive whisky library and bar in Scotland is an absolute must-visit bucket list location.

The history lover in me would LOVE to go to this place, to hear the stories (and Scottish accents, natch). But I betcha me and @jamesonrugby.bsky.social would just end up bickering about why Scotch is the superior whisky...

Joan Semmel Is Doing Her Best Work at 93 “You say, ‘Fuck you. I'm good and you're wrong,’” she told Hyperallergic. “This is who I am, this is what I do, and this is what I care about.”

Joan Semmel's boldly colorful, intimate paintings have radically shifted perspective from the male gaze toward a woman’s view. At age 93, after more than 60 years as an artist, she believes her most recent paintings are among the best she has ever made.

Commonwealth Court rules the state constitution includes a fundamental right to abortion • Pennsylvania Capital-Star Susan Frietsche, of the Women’s Law Project, said the Medicaid coverage exclusion was the single largest barrier to abortion access in Pa.

This is a wonderful decision for Pennsylvania! And calling abortion a fundamental right is a satisfying slap in the face to the extremists on the Supreme Court.

Got our solar panels installed this AM. They came at 8:30am and we're gone by 1:30pm. 13 panels and 10kwh battery.

We can't export to the grid yet (the network operator has been flooded with new requests) but we charged our car with the sun this afternoon. Great feeling, strongly recommend.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?

What Does Potassium Actually Do For Your Body? - Foodie You may have heard of potassium as a vital nutrient, but what is it actually supposed to do in your body and how important is it in your diet, really?

I've seen tennis players eat bananas on court for the potassium, but do you know what it does for our bods? Come with me...

"Les Castrais se rendront très vite compte que je suis peut-être leur meilleur ami !"

Le maire de Mazamet Olivier Fabre prend la présidence avec 30 voix contre 26 pour le maire de Castres Florian Azéma. Un tournant politique...

Our lovely agglomeration delivers a big, fat, FUCK YOU to the Castrian mayor, one of the racist twunts at RN.

Palantir manifesto described as ‘ramblings of a supervillain’ amid UK contract fears Alarm caused by posts of Alex Carp, tech firm’s CEO, championing US military dominance and of AI weapons

You just get the feeling people like this have never really appreciated anything. There's not a shred of art in their soul. They need to go and touch some grass.

This Unexpected Drink Might Actually Hydrate You Better Than Water - Foodie Some studies have shown that post-workout, milk was better at rehydrating people than water or Powerade. Another showed it was better than several liquids.

Fun fact: when I was pregnant with our first son, I drank so much milk, my husband told me Robs would be lactose intolerant (he isn't).

But maybe there's more to my love of the white stuff than meets the eye?

The Best Cucumber Varieties To Grow On The East Coast - Foodie If you're on the U.S. East Coast, growing cucumbers can be tricky in your particular zone. But these varieties not only do well, but can taste delicious, too.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Holy. Shit. This is Reid Wiseman's video he took with his iPhone while at the moon 🌙

Basket of picked green beans in the middle of the field for workers are harvesting

"Adan" shared this photo from the Coachella CA where hes picking green beans. "I get paid 40 cents per pound. The work is exhausting - especially due to the excessive heat in the area. But this is how I support my family." #WeFeedYou

Look, it doesn't matter how pathetic the worms at Palantir are. They do have actual power. A lot of it. The more any action against them is delayed, the worse it will get. There is a giant cliff ahead of us and the bus drivers are insane. We need to grab the steering wheel.

Why call it socialism? Why not call it "making sure the most people possible can live a comfortable life without having to panic at the end of the month"?

Fucking billionaires with far-right agendas and ZERO empathy for anyone beyond themselves are why we can't have nice things.

I bought a book about 1,000 years of history and it was the same shit over and over again - war, invasion, death. I didn't get more than a third in. Humans - mainly men - have been doing this forever. Things don't change because those in charge don't change. We'll be angry forever until they do.

Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.

900lb crates full of onions in a field

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

As of today, April 17, 2026, there are several credible developments regarding the Epstein files and related legal matters. While there is no "bombshell" release from a foreign government, domestic legal and political activity has accelerated.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

We should be learning from other countries...

WATCH: “They preach freedom of speech and non-censorship, but this was my experience.”

The Georgia student who asked JD Vance about Epstein describes how hard they tried to screen his question and hand-pick the questioners.
