“Oh please we love our trash covered streets and stinky air, how dare you make anything cleaner!”

The bins will contribute to the sense of New York becoming more
"sanitized" each day, where it is gentrified and perhaps physically cleaner but losing its character and history.

Dude what?

This isn't the first time Bader was injured on a scooter. In 2014, while playing at Florida, Bader was injured in a scooter accident and
subsequently suspended from the team.

This is not real. Stop posting fucking shitty fake AI slop you shit-for-brains psychopath. There’s a live stream on msnow as of a few minutes ago showing actual reality. Of course:

No. This is France: lowcarbonpower.org/region/France

France is 95% low carbon electricity generation due to the long-standing prevalence of nuclear power there.

Well now who had “kars 4 kids is a religious scam and not actually for kids” on their 2026 bingo card?

Kids in need aren't even really the target of the organization's financial efforts.
Instead, those go to 17- and 18-year-olds seeking gap-year trips to Israel and their families. Landau testified that $16.5 million even went to purchasing a building in Israel in 2022, and $437,000 was spent on
"Middle East outreach."

Flipping through some old microfilm (as one does), and was struck by this gorgeous advertisement for DULUTH. The small print on the line on the map reads: “all points north and west of this line are nearer to Duluth than Chicago” I dunno about y’all but I’m sold.

New York Times , Saturday Jan 14 1888

The
object of this advertisement is to call the attention of the careful conservative
public to the following array of FACTS. No City in America is growing so rapidiy today as is
DULUTH
The volume of its business and commerce is now that of a city of 150,000 people and increasing with incredible swiftness. The city is fairly forced to grow to keep pace with its business.
The climate is heathly and delightful, the average winter temperature
or 14 years being 18° above, and average summer temperature for the same time 63%, being a mean of over 40°. The Society, Churches and Schools are of the best.

This is a big sucker but I’m almost done. Not a fan of a lot of the non-traditionalness of the assembly / design of this set but the sheer scope and subject matter make up for it. B+

I’m generally not a Shaugnessy fan at all but he is 1000% right here.

Cora is not the one who traded Mookie Betts, let Xander Bogaerts walk, and got no players in return for the salary dump of Rafael Devers.

Hacking a system that’s a full day’s worth of light travel away and built 50 years ago…. come on now.

The team is also developing a more sweeping power conservation plan they informally call "the Big Bang" - a coordinated swap of several powered components all at once, trading older systems for lower-power alternatives. If testing on Voyager 2, planned for May and June 2026, goes well, the same procedure will be attempted on Voyager 1 no sooner than July. If it works, there is even a slim chance the LECP could once more continue to work.
The engineers say they hope to keep at least one instrument operating on each spacecraft into the 2030s. It would leave both still reporting from places no machine has ever gone before.

The globe is smoking crack. Lobster rolls are still $25-30 here. Saltie Girl (arguably the fanciest and best roll in town) is $42 today, but you’ve gotta go out of your way to pay that much for a lobster roll.
