And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

A Kyoto University research team has developed a pain-reliever that is comparable to morphine but does not have serious side effects.

I was prepared to learn about all kinds of ways Tesla is a horrible, amoral company, but I didn’t really expect to get such clear evidence so quickly that it is engaged in a conspiracy to kill people and defraud its own customers.

Clockwork

As long as they follow through with “gently euthanizing” them prior to them being food and not subjecting them to being hunted, I’m fully on board with this.

The core failure of essentially 100% of critical comments/pieces on Bluesky is the focus on Bluesky as a Twitter competitor. Bluesky isn't actually the thing. It's a testing ground for and collaboration point for developing the underlying protocol. It's a seed for an interactive patch over the web.

News Analysis Trump’s Efforts to Control Information Echo an Authoritarian Playbook In firing the head of the agency that collects employment statistics, the president underscored his tendency to suppress facts he doesn’t like and promote his own version of reality.

An effective opposition party would have three objectives

1. Oppose this lawless administration
2. Have a plan for holding those responsible accountable
