Epstein Files: Ghislaine Maxwell Says Grand Jury Transcript Release Would Cause β€˜Severe’ Harm The government has asked for the grand jury materials to be released as part of the law requiring the Epstein files to be made public.

I wonder if this "harm" she's going to suffer will occur between her massages or her pet sitting duties at Club Fed?

I put up some peg boards, on the long one is most of my fancier yarns, hand dyed cottons and linen, and some silk. On the short one is some cakes of blanket yarn. The little cups have crochet odds and ends, along with other crafting supplies, and blank cassettes for my boombox/cassette recorder.

reminder that the government is kidnapping people and firing tear gas at schools while the government is convening to take our freedoms away under the guise of "protecting children", and people with a platform would rather sit on their asses and accuse a game of being icky than do something useful.

πŸ‘‹That's a wrap from me for the year: Signing off today for maternity leave feeling very grateful to be able to dedicate the next few months to figuring out how to raise a baby.

It'll be a very different type of craziness for me for the next little bit. See you in 2026!

Last week I went to the office of my congresswoman Maria E. Salazar to make an appointment and was told that she doesn’t see constituents and to send her an email.

It is devastating to lose Pope Francis at this moment in history, at a time when freedom, justice, and compassion are in peril. He was the embodiment of empathy, love, and humility, bringing hope to the dispossessed and the downtrodden. He brought heaven a little closer to us.

A travesty he got to go. This ass-hat stands against everything Pope Francis believed in...empathy, compassion, refugees, love, and peace.

Exclusive: Survivors clinging to capsized boat didn’t radio for backup, admiral overseeing double-tap strike tells lawmakers | CNN Politics The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications device...

Unbelievable.

β€œDefense officials have been arguing the two survivors were legitimate targets because they appeared to be radioing for backup

β€œBut Thursday, Adm. Bradley acknowledged that the survivors of the initial strike were in no position to make a distress call.”

Broadview conspiracy defendants want to see if White House played a role in their case A significant legal battle appears to be brewing in the case of six people facing federal charges tied to protests outside an immigration facility in Broadview.

I was told by a reporter in October that the White House was looking to prosecute me because I stood against their inhumane agenda.

Days later, they did exactly that.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s β€œlook at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is
