DeSantis and top Fla. health official warn against COVID shots for people under 65
So it's safe for those who are over 65? Makes sense since the immune system strengthens as we age.

Two years ago, a "once in a hundred years" wind storm downed trees that had been around for decades. Many of them fell on houses, garages, etc. Last year, the once in a hundred years wind storm took down even more. We haven't had the every hundred year storm this year yet but I am expecting it. The issues are serious.

And that is Ramaswamy to the Republicans, not an American but instead, "that Indian guy."

In historians' Presidents Day survey, Biden vs. Trump is not a close call

Also worth crediting him on the infrastructure deal. This piece of legislation had a lot of needed stuff in it.
For instance
Money to replace lead service pipes
Money for bridges, etc
A HUGE sorely needed investment in public transportation including passenger rail
Various green initiatives (ev charger network, solar and power efficiency incentives)
Etc.
It has been a really long time since the federal government has delivered anything (besides tax cuts that lean towards the wealthy) so it's a big deal that this was pushed through.

The Biden Interview: The President Talks About the Supreme Court, Threats to Democracy and Trump’s Vow to Exact Retribution
I declined to vote Democrat for almost the entire Clinton/Obama era instead opting for 3rd party candidates. Trump was too repugnant to not vote against. I begrudgingly voted Dem, however, I have been okay with Biden overall. The Democrats have stopped ignoring blue collar folks (though not always) after being taken for granted by the Clinton/Obama wing. Maybe I am moderating in old age, and I am surprised by this, but Biden has not been a bad president.

Four more years of unchecked misogyny. In a second Trump term, women would once again be targets
Anyone who votes for this asshole is, at the very least, okay with all kinds of shitty behavior. From making fun of people with medical conditions, denigrating all stripes of non-white, non-male folks, all the way to attempting to prevent the transfer of presidential administrations through force; All of it is owned by anyone who votes for Trump.

How AI is helping airlines mitigate the climate impact of contrails
Interesting, I had no idea, fluffy contrails look so innocuous. Makes me wonder, is there any post-industrial human activity that isn't disaster?

Trump's "war on democracy" fumble sparks backlash

They say we become numb to his rhetoric, but I am still astonished by the incoherency of his speeches. The excerpt above is just a cluttering of words that don't really say anything.

The World's Map of Billionaires: inherited vs company founders vs executives
The link to the source of the data was broken and I didn't search around but I was curious how they defined inherited. To be in this class, did they have to inherit a billion dollars? A million? Come from upper middle class? If close to 30 percent are inheriting upwards of a billion, that is a lot.
And look at Russia, yikes! Shows a deep corruption. How that country doesn't devolve into a Venezuela/Liberia/take-your-pick, I do not know

That's a good point. My first read I thought maybe it wasn't entirely black and white, maybe he had a reason (however unethical his reaction was). But you are right, he was probably on the list for good reason, and his actions show that he probably belongs on it.
