Fulton County requests to DESTROY all 2020 election records, ballots, and envelopes, even with open criminal cases, because they say they are running out of room in their warehouse. The judge then sees an inside picture and learns that the warehouse is literally bigger than a "Home Depot" and has plenty of room. It was NEVER about making space for the next election. It was about covering up the fact that the 2020 election was stolen and they wanted to destroy the evidence.

You saw me on the warm stones and screamed. I was the best pest control you had. You found me sunning on your garden wall. Someone went for a shovel. I tried to leave — they were faster. I am a common garter snake, and I was working for you. The slugs that shred your hostas, the grubs chewing your roots, the beetles and cutworms in the vegetable beds — I hunt all of them, every day, for free. Look at me before you decide what I am. Three yellow stripes running the length of an olive-brown body. Round pupils. A narrow head no wider than my neck. No fangs. No venom that can hurt you. I am one of the most harmless animals in your entire yard. When something startles me I might release a little musk, or bluff with a raised head. That is the whole arsenal. I have nothing else, and I never needed anything else. Leave me the stone wall and the leaf piles. I will keep the garden from being eaten alive.

Things people did in 1965 without a second thought, and what they cost you now. - Skipped breakfast when they weren't hungry. Now it is intermittent fasting, with an app, a podcast and a forty-pound book explaining what your grandfather did on a Tuesday for free. - Drank from the tap. Now it is reverse-osmosis, remineralised, glass-bottled and four pounds a litre, because the tap is suddenly beneath us. - Went out without sunscreen. Now it is reckless UV exposure, factor 50 reapplied hourly, on an overcast February morning in Glasgow. - Had three eggs for breakfast. Now it is a cholesterol risk and a worried chat with a doctor still reading off a leaflet the science binned years ago. - Put butter on their bread. Now it is saturated fat exposure, gently steered toward a tub of fourteen ingredients, not one of them a cow. - Walked somewhere because that was how you got there. Now it is a logged step count, a heart-rate zone and ninety-pound carbon-plated trainers for the trip to the corner shop. The factory settings of 1965 turned out a population leaner, fitter and far less medicated than the one now filling the waiting rooms. None of it was for sale, because none of it was a product. It was simply what people did, before someone realised you could sell it back to them at a markup. It still costs nothing. It always did.

“Lockdowns were not caused by the virus. It was a human decision to impose lockdowns, mandatory testing, irrational, pseudoscientific masks, campus closures, isolation of students… We know the data. We knew it then. The lockdowns were instituted. They failed to stop the dying. They failed to stop the spread. And they caused massive harm and death. That's the data.”

Is there a freezer like this for home use?

Batman: The Animated Series One of the greatest intros to one of the greatest shows of all time.

Amazon Web Services wants to release water from its data centers into Louisa County's natural water sources, including Lake Anna in Virginia “The draft permit on the table would give Amazon Web Services permission to release 280,000 gallons a day of cooling water from its data centers into Sedges Creek, which flows into Lake Anna. Amazon says it would only use this method during the hottest periods, which it predicts to be 4% of the year.” The most water is much warmer than the water it will be dumping into, this means with this much water it will likely kill the fish population and everything else adapted to the current environment Also Amazon says the water doesn’t touch servers but I found that doesn’t matter Treated Non-Contact Cooling Water: Does not touch servers directly but picks up metals like Zinc, copper, aluminum, cadmium This would be catastrophic

A hundred years ago, the eastern bluebird was one of the most common birds in the country. Then it nearly disappeared. Here's the problem: a bluebird can't build its own home. Neither can a chickadee or a wren. They're cavity nesters with no tools to dig a hole, so they move into ones that already exist: an old woodpecker hole, a rotted knot in a tree, a hollow in a dead limb, a soft spot in a wooden fence post. Then we launched a relentless effort to tidy the world and put everything in its right place. We cut down the dead trees, the "ugly" snags, and hauled them off. We swapped the old wooden fence posts for metal. We cleaned up every hollow stump and dying branch. And just like that, the nesting spots were gone. Worse, two birds we'd imported from Europe, house sparrows and starlings, muscled into the few cavities left and threw the bluebirds out. By the 1970s, bluebird numbers had fallen by nearly 90%. Here's where things began to turn. Ordinary people started nailing wooden boxes to posts. Just boxes, with a hole the right size. And the bluebirds came back, all the way back, one of the greatest comebacks in American conservation, built almost entirely by regular folks in their own yards with a little lumber. So here's where you come in. A nest box isn't a cute decoration. It's a replacement for the dead tree we took down, a hole in the world for a bird that can't make its own. Put one up, with the correct hole size for the bird you want, on a smooth pole a predator can't climb, and you stop being a bystander to that story.

A new Tootsie Roll commercial has been released.

Hotel lobby. 1998. You’re 8 years old. Dad’s checking in. You spot this rack and immediately grab 14 brochures for places you will absolutely never visit. Caverns. Ziplines. Some outlet mall 40 miles the wrong direction. Doesn’t matter. You needed them all.

Texan units of measurement are simple: “A couple miles” = snacks optional “Not that far” = finish your coffee first “A good drive” = playlist required “A pretty good drive” = pack a Buc-ee’s bag and emotionally prepare 😂🤠 #TexasHumor #TexasRoadTrips #TexasTravel #OnlyInTexas #TexasHappens #LoneStarState #NewBraunfels #Bucees #TexasLife

This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America. A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact. It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy: 56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases. More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide. 343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information. That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison. The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once: The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry. Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate. Now look at the individual leaderboard: - Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100 - Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800 different tickers - Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late - Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked. She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO. The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine. The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero. And the cruelest part is this: A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed. But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is. They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing. The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

Pro tip: get a library card, even if you won't use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.
