Around the world, politicians and businessmen are resigning from their positions because of the Epstein Files.

Except in the United States.

Here: Zero shame, zero consequences.

We need resignations, investigations, impeachments, and punishments now. Should have been years ago.

Trump removes video with racist clip depicting Obamas as apes The White House defended the post at first, calling to "stop the fake outrage", as members of both parties condemned the video.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trumpโ€˜s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer.

Hannibal's famous war elephants: Single bone in Spain offers first direct evidence Historical accounts of the Punic Warsโ€”and many other ancient warsโ€”often paint a picture of soldiers riding in on imposing "war elephants." Yet, no skeletal remains of these war elephants had ever been...

Taking whole-ass *war elephants* up through Europe and over the Alps left such a cultural "Holy Shit!" impression we "know" it's true 2100+ yrs later, but we've had precious little direct physical evidence up to this point.

Has Little Caesars Arena boosted economic activity in Detroit? We looked at hotel and short-term rental industry data to find out In 2026, Little Caesars Arena will host the Pistons, Red Wings and concerts with A$AP Rocky and Cardi B. But building it wasnโ€™t necessarily a huge moneymaker.

Detroit spent $863 million on Little Caesars Arena.

New research finds it hasnโ€™t significantly boosted hotels or short-term rentals nearby

Concerts help nearby AirBNBs, but sports games, not so much.

This is Zephyr. He is a professionally trained bed bug detector. When he recognizes the scent of live bed bugs, he gives an alert by sitting and smiling exuberantly at his handler. We're pretty sure no one has ever been more excited to find bed bugs in their life. 13/10 (TT: emmercrew)

Why Cops Frequently Got Caught Planting Drugs in 2017 Look. All technology comes with a learning curve.

Cops were frequently getting caught planting drugs in 2017 because body cameras were new and many of them didn't understand how the technology worked.

When cops hit "record" it saved the 30 seconds from *before* they hit the button. Eventually, they figured it out.

Electric trike takes on deliveries at Eastern Market A Detroit startup is testing whether a "semi-trike" can replace trucks for small deliveries.

Civilized Cycles' "semi-trike" can haul up to 800 pounds of cargo at about 15 miles an hour in campus-like settings with tight spaces and frequent stops.
