Thou shalt not cry about being mocked when you are literally the person in charge of ICE kidnapping people off the street.

is it weird that the Social Security Administration is sending out celebratory emails about legislation and also not explaining how it doesn't even affect 64% of social security recipients

EDF shuts down Golftech nuclear plant due to high river temperature French utility EDF said it shut down the No. 1 reactor at the Golftech nuclear power plant in southwestern France late on Sunday, ahead of an anticipated rise in the temperature of the Garonne river that supplies the plant's cooling water.

French nuclear power plant has to close during intense heat wave, because temperatures in the river that provides cooling water are too high.

How was your journey?
