So it’s like a John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982) situation up there huh
Russia's five-hospital quarantine, FSB involvement, and reported hazmat use in response to the death of a single researcher at a weapons-lineage Irkutsk lab are inconsistent with a lab-acquired plague infection, which would have been treated with prophylactic antibiotics. 1/4

I think I have a novel solution here. Instead a twice-yearly hour jump forward or back, we spread that across the duration of standard / daylight savings time. Each day is just a few seconds shorter or longer, accordingly.
No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter. Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first.

Every day some account I’ve never seen RTs some other account I’ve never seen with a comment like “even if you follow this person you’re probably still NGMI but at least you’ll understand what’s going on”
Now is a good time to start following Annie if you're not already.

"we have to use shitty old expired drugs for executions because nobody wants their brand associated with lethal injections" I can think of at least one drug that already has a really bad reputation for making your body forget how to breathe, maybe use that one? IDK??

"criminals may have a higher drug tolerance tho" idk, give them more? Keep dosing them? That can't possibly be worse than what we're doing now, effectively torturing people to death. It's almost as though that's the unstated purpose and desired outcome of our executions

man that's crazy HW and Jr became president in spite of this, I wonder if the people who brought them to power still have any kind of influence
U.S. Senator Prescott Bush, father of President George H.W. Bush and grandfather President George W. Bush, financed the armament of HITLER's Third Reich — for which his Union Bank was seized by the Roosevelt Administration.

Biggest personal takeaway from this is how many people are Boston globe subscribers. Entirely too much discourse for a paywalled article

Jethro Told
Ed Sheeran’s cousin, Jethro Sheeran, speaks out against him: “Finally it's all coming out! I'm ashamed of my Cousin Ed and what he's done. Finally the world and all his fans see through him. He's not a good person, I don't like his music so I can't say he's even a good artist. He's honestly a selfish individual with malicious, cunning ways.”

Literally anything goes wrong from 2021-2025: “wowwww DEI run amok” Literally anything goes wrong 2025 onward: “ok so the LLMs are not perfect yet but you have to admit things are collapsing in very novel and interesting ways”

A Democrat could never get away with creating a Machine God and suggesting we refer to it as Supreme Intelligence
Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP

RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr. referred to "chemtrails," a conspiracy theory alleging secret chemical spraying by aircraft. No evidence supports this; trails are condensation (contrails) and a 2016 peer-reviewed survey of 77 atmospheric experts found 76 had seen none for such programs. epa.gov/regulations-em… iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… statnews.com/2026/09/17/rfk…

Mubi movies should all depict the Mubi logo at some point, like in The Substance how it was on the packaging of the titular substance
