The Trump pattern is to get a bunch of headlines by loudly filing a lawsuit, then quietly drop the suit long before it reaches discovery. Mark my words, that'll happen here too.

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.

I was actually pretty close to that for a while, I spent a year in foreign land taking a daily tetracycline pill because in addition to being an antibiotic, it prevents malaria. I noticed that random little cuts and scratches seemed to heal faster and cleaner.

What's crazy is that I am not sure which of two possible Kennedys you are referring to.

I believe the standard phrase for the strategy is "heightening the contradictions" although I'm neither a Marxist nor a political scientist.

100 Dams Down: 2025 A Big Year for Reconnecting Rivers in the U.S. In 2025, the United States removed 100 dams. One hundred outdated, often crumbling, and frequently dangerous structures were pulled from our waterways across 30 states. In their wake, more than 4,893…

A record year for dam removals reconnects US rivers, reconnecting over 7,900 km of rivers. Many of the structures were obsolete or unsafe, and their removal is already restoring fish migration routes, reducing flood risks, and reviving ecosystems. American Rivers buff.ly/LwcNbjh

I was going to say, last I checked all US embassies have fireplaces as a backup system, and I expect classy buildings like the Hungarian Foreign Ministry central office have fireplaces for both decor and utility.

I mean, *somebody* must have been the inventor of formation fighting in close ranks, and it would be cool to find out who and when and where. Sadly we'll probably never know.

Consider Benjamin Silliman, who was hired to be Yale's first Professor of Chemistry despite him being a lawyer who had never studied chemistry.

He is remembered largely because he ended up as a great professor and a great chemist.

Him also starting a "previous metals company" makes me think he wants literary immortality like Ea-nāṣir.

Whether it’s Michelle Obama, encouraging children to get exercise and eat vegetables or Melania Trump announcing that she never trafficked children to notorious pedophiles, both First Ladies made controversial announcements involving children.

Sad tidings. I enjoyed her novels.

Trump insane Easter post

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

Those rich people existed, just the media environment did not make you aware of them. This is another problem with social media.

It's possible "groceries" is a subset in the statistics, so "food" also includes "eating out" and "food delivery".

"I'm glad you're getting interested in infinite series! Let's sit down with some scratch paper and have some fun seeing which ones converge."

In an undergrad economics class, my professor pointed out that reductions in cigarette smoking were very costly, because lung cancer was great at quickly killing people slightly after the retirement age.

Honestly sounds like a fun start to a concert film.

all of the lessons of the Trump era are the type you’d learn from a children’s book. you tried to use bullying to get what you want, but you alienated your allies, oh no! you have learned the power of friendship.

Pope Leo XIV to carry cross for entire procession Pope Leo XIV plans to personally carry the wooden cross through all 14 stations of the Way of the Cross at the Colosseum on his first Good Friday as pontiff

He's headed to his f----ing couch.

That's FAINTING couch, you sickos.

I think Richard Osman said he wrote his first mystery novel by including dozens of clues as he was writing, then he got to the end, decided who the actual murderer was, and went back to the start and removed all the clues that would have disqualified the murderer.

It's the same problem at the heart of every stock picking scam: if it actually worked, the person that figured it out would become unimaginably rich by using their system, and have no need to sell it to random strangers.
