a great thing about being off is seeing the words "backlash to Trump's Jesus meme" and having no idea what that means

Maybe rethink this display?

We could only eat Cheerios, but since I was the only one who ate breakfast, I bought Froot Loops and put them in a Cheerios box. Got away with it for quite a while, too.

Bringing back the Jake leg

We just got the first numbers showing economic effects of the war in Iran. Headline inflation is up sharply, and there's more to come. Stay tuned.

This is true for PR, but you should actually tell people if you see a real bomb

these two dudes are arguing about basketball and one of them keeps asking Siri for counterpoints

this headline does well right up to the comma

Image of a ProPublica headline that reads "They Needed Treatment for Drug Addiction. The Company They Turned to May Have Used Them to Commit Fraud." The headline is illustrated with a pair of hands holding a miniature rehab center. One hand is dropping a small human through the top of the building. From the bottom of the building, a $100 bill emerges.

NEW: Kentucky’s largest drug rehab center touts a Christian message and a selfless commitment to helping others.

But internally, the organization prioritized money over the well-being of its clients and staff, interviews show.

Streisand effect - Wikipedia

In nationally televised address, Melania asks people to stop looking at aerial photos of Barbra Streisand's house.

this really undermines the "iran war was a distraction" argument unless you think this is a distraction from the iran war, which was a distraction from this but got so bad they had to go back to the original topic, which is a bit much

the Holy See in the Vatican? In Italy? or another one in, like, Alabama

My son found this in a book and thought you all should see it

Trump’s bold new plan for the Strait of Hormuz: Congestion Pricing!

Apple News alert that reads: “Why more Gen Z men are turning to Catholicism, a favorite design trend that makes homes harder to sell, and more popular reads.”

I do feel like a semicolon might’ve been helpful

"Bloomberg examined Trump’s record of following through on threats to attack other countries and non-state actors.

"Looking at his first term, he made good on threats roughly 20% of the time.

"In his second term to date, that rate has risen to 50%."

Captured by the Artemis II crew during their lunar flyby on April 6, 2026, this image shows the Moon fully eclipsing the Sun. From the crew’s perspective, the Moon appears large enough to completely block the Sun, creating nearly 54 minutes of totality and extending the view far beyond what is possible from Earth. The corona forms a glowing halo around the dark lunar disk, revealing details of the Sun’s outer atmosphere typically hidden by its brightness. Also visible are stars, typically too faint to see when imaging the Moon, but with the Moon in darkness stars are readily imaged. This unique vantage point provides both a striking visual and a valuable opportunity for astronauts to document and describe the corona during humanity’s return to deep space. The faint glow of the nearside of the Moon is visible in this image, having been illuminated by light reflected off the Earth. [alt text from NASA]

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

ice cream cancels that out
