Three figures stand, but only one carries the weight of war.
One knows battle, the other two know only the sound of their own voices.
One defends a nation, the others defend their cowardice.

Thank you, DOGE, for clearly visualizing what incredible value the American people get from their national parks. 17,700 permanent employees making an average of $81,000 a year serving 325 million visitors annually.

Is there a better value in the entire federal government?

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO.
Not for me.
It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

They should. Because few things exemplify peak MAGA like honoring traitors to own the libs.

Elon Musk built his wealth from taxpayer-funded research β€” now he's trying to destroy future science The billionaire should be writing a thank you note to Al Gore, not wrecking burgeoning developments

Musk's brain is pickled, but still it's astounding how much he hates federal funding of science, when he would nobody and nothing without it.

He should be thanking Al Gore, not mounting a coup.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
