This sort of gesture, to release what many have wanted for decades and give all the proceeds to your late comrade's charity, that is friendship.

Once this cool air clears, several legitimately warm days arrive. Early to mid- next week could run 20-30 degrees above normal, maybe near 80 for highs.

A front ends it Thursday.

The week after, a sharp cooldown hits: highs 30s-40s possible, lows in the 20s. Winter’s not done yet.

Before you share that story about how troops were told the Iran War is for "Armageddon," read this The narrative is dramatic. The sourcing is thin. And skepticism matters, especially on something this serious.

Came across this and it provided some interesting context

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspended—and so were my wife's.

Additionally Sheehy lied about negligently discharging his firearm in Glacier National Park and shooting himself by trying to claim he was wounded in action in Afghanistan.

NEW FISH WHO DIS

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.

i have been to the emergency room for a dental abscess. it is a uniquely excruciating kind of pain. this man was tortured to death via medical neglect.

Covid hospitalisations climb as New Zealand enters new wave There’s been an increase in hospitalisations and in wastewater detections, and it’s expected to last another month or two.

Thanks to this article, I went from "I must get my booster before winter" to "I will get my booster this week". So today, between meetings, I went to my local pharmacy as a walk-in. The entire process (including the precautionary hanging around afterwards) took 15 mins. Get to it Kiwis #nz

Report: #COVID survivors at nearly 5 times the risk for kidney failure

SARS-CoV-2 infection was also implicated in new-onset chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and end-stage renal disease.

Both #Covid & the #flu can have an impact after infection subsides. And while both viruses can leave lasting lung damage, only #SARSCoV2 causes persistent brain inflammation & small blood vessel injury, even after the virus is no longer detectable. New research medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02...

Medical societies recommend RSV vaccines for older or immune-compromised adults

And from a security perspective, adding identity checks would actually make Linux worse. More code paths, more dependencies, more data collection, more attack surface; all for something that doesn’t fit the architecture in the first place.

An upcoming California law requires operating system providers to enforce basic mandatory age verification It's basic, and by the looks of it, near unenforceable.

A new California law says all operating systems, including Linux, need to have some form of ID verification (which they’re calling age verification) at account setup.

This makes absolutely ZERO sense if you have even the most basic understanding of technology

1/3: Here's what wild about gas prices right now. The past two days have seen the largest increase in gas prices ($0.22/gallon) since 2005, making it one of the fastest increases ever. What's suprising about this is not only the magnitude, but the speed of the passthrough.
