Kardashians' private jet use bathes Van Nuys residents in fumes The popularity of private jets among the 1% has made Van Nuys Airport a critical hub. It's bathing the surrounding communities in noise and fumes.

"A widely cited 2021 report by Transport & Environment, a Brussels-based clean transportation advocacy group, notes that a private jet can emit 2 tons of carbon dioxide in a single hour β€” less than a quarter of what an average European emits in an entire year."

An early 19th century portrait by Goya shows a general with small head in a brocaded jacket and sash, looking as if he's about to be swallowed by his uniform.

Just sitting here admiring the pinhead that Goya gave General JosΓ© Manuel Romero in this c. 1810 portrait.

Do they have a parallel site (like XCancel for Twitter) that doesn't require a log on?

Otherwise, definitely come up with a super unhinged username like: KAWS4EvahπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Truth Social’s New AI Chatbot Is Donald Trump’s Media Diet Incarnate Truth Search AI appears to rely heavily on conservative outlet Fox News to answer even the most basic questions.

"the chatbot highlighted only seven sources in total in response to my queriesβ€”Fox News, Fox Business, The Washington Times, The Epoch Times, Breitbart, Newsmax and JustTheNews."

Roscoe Village board votes to paint over existing mural The Village of Roscoe Board of Trustees voted to paint over its first and only mural, with the intention of replacing it with something the community can contribute to.

As Agran describes, the mural is meant to capture "interactions of the midwestern grid, the agricultural landscape, with the wildness of the river, capture the landscape, character, and history of the area – agriculture and industry, sewn together by the watershed."

Such a waste to erase it.
