Good overview of how incompetence can lead to destruction.

House committee unlikely to interview Ghislaine Maxwell after her lawyer said she wouldn't answer questions House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said it would be a waste of taxpayer dollars to send staff to Texas after her lawyers said she would not answer questions.

The House Oversight Committee has shelved plans to depose convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator and confidant, after Maxwell informed the committee that she planned to plead the Fifth.

You know for a FACT this guy has been to a few raves in the 80s. In Chicago. On the SOUTH side. Where house EDM was born 😎🎶

He said "Amen" straight into the drop

Lmao Pope Leo threw a rave for an archbishop's 75th birthday this is kind of incredible

Satirical news headline: Op-Ed: The “Wicked” movie shows us what audiences really want — more films about green people

Four prison guards involved in the death of an incarcerated Black man whose brutal beating at an upstate New York prison last year was captured on body-worn camera videos were each sentenced to prison terms.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.

Played him like a fiddle.

A Baker, a Pastor, and Charlotte’s Stand Against ICE How everyday people are reminding the nation what it means to be American.

"After Willy Aceituno again told the agents he was a U.S. citizen, they finally threw him out of the van. By then, he was a twenty-plus-minute walk away from his car, which he still could not drive anywhere because the agents had taken his keys."

Before the rollout of the polio vaccine in the 1950s, the disease paralyzed or killed more than 500,000 people worldwide every year.

The darker chapters of public health history do not seem to faze anti-vaccine activists, who are now downplaying polio.

New meme format just dropped:

ALERT: Letter from Epstein survivors:

"Many of us have already received death threats and other threats of harm. We are bracing for these to escalate. We ask.. law enforcement agency that has jurisdiction over these threats to investigate them and protect us"

A Colossal, Hidden Pile of Trash Ignites Outcry in Britain The discovery of a mountain of garbage near a highway is the latest example of what experts say is a growing problem of criminal organizations profiting from illegal dumping.

An enormous wall of trash about 500 feet in length and up to four stories tall was recently discovered near a highway in the English countryside, leading to a national outcry across Britain. nyti.ms/4oP3vbP

I already have a counterproposal:

Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.

Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.

All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.

And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

The Putin-Witkoff Plan Worsens the War Five Reasons the US should not help Russia subjugate Ukraine

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

Religiosity In U.S. Drops To Lowest On Record https://theonion.com/religiosity-in-u-s-drops-to-lowest-on-record/

What It Takes to Defeat the Leaf Blowers To end the use of gas-powered blowers, advocates in one New Jersey town focused on public health and made their case directly to local elected leaders.

Great new @bloomberg.com piece by Jessica Stolzberg on ongoing struggle against stupidest and most harmful part of current 'Conspicuous Consumption' yard hygiene.

The diff this has made in DC is ... incredible.

Gas powered leaf blowers are an abomination.

Russia killed second-grader Ameliia Hzhesko and her mother, Oksana Dokhtor, by a strike on #Ternopil on the night of 19 November.

The mother and daughter died embracing each other, according to the school Ameliia attended.

Deepest condolences…

I made jokes about RFK Junior bringing back leeches. I have to stop making jokes.

Nordic countries paying most for Ukraine ‘not sustainable,’ Swedish foreign minister says The EU must seize Russia’s frozen assets, Maria Malmer Stenergard believes, because any other solution would be unfair to Ukraine’s biggest backers.

When a Swedish minister gets this sassy, it means that they’re furious.

And rightly so. It’s amazing that the small ones have punched so far above their weight, but inexcusable that the bigger ones haven’t followed suit. There simply are capacity limits for the small ones.

Forsooth!
