"ENRON, which had been a component of the S&P; 500, was removed at the end of trading Thursday and replaced by NVIDIA Corp., a Santa Clara, Calif.-based maker of computer-graphics chips."

Still can’t get over Republicans acting like Mamdani’s win would lead to 9/11 2 and just weeks later, from the Oval Office, Trump’s just like “yeah it’s gonna be fine.”

Trump endorsed Zohran Mamdani before Chuck Schumer did!

2/ CIA Acting General Counsel, a career lawyer, "was among those who had raised questions about the legality of the agency’s use of lethal force."

What happened next?

CIA Deputy Director Ellis stepped in to become acting General Counsel and still hold his policy position. He then approved the ops.

My favorite Onion headline of all time (moon landing is second)

You know that these people are creeps and that our political and media culture and institutions are rotten, but then you learn that the failson antivax HHS secretary is smoking DMT and writing filthy poetry to a reporter and you are reminded yet again that it’s somehow actually worse than you think.

On this day in 1941, Dr. John was born in New Orleans. The Night Tripper himself blended blues, jazz, funk and voodoo into something nobody had heard before. 'Gris-Gris' changed everything in 1968 and "Right Place Wrong Time" still grooves.

SCOTUS be like, "well did he murder them in his official capacity?"
