Lovebugs vex South Korea, covering hiking trails and sidewalks The non-native insects have no natural predators and have grown in numbers in recent years. Experts say warming temperatures could be a factor in their proliferation.

I went and saw what it’s like to be swarmed by thousands (millions?) of little bugs in heat so you don’t have to

Fact-checking Trump and Miller’s claims of a β€˜migrant invasion’ in California Federal and state data tell a far different story about migration to California than the political fury unfolding in Washington and on the streets of Los Angeles.

The Trump administration has cast the undocumented as criminals responsible for California's woes and the ICE protests as an overreaction to basic deportation operations.

The reality is very different @mariasacchetti.bsky.social reports

I've sunset the redirect account @jintakhan.bsky.social since @bsky.app has largely addressed this issue. It would be nice if the handle continued to redirect to custom domain handles, but at least they are listening.

RFK Jr. forces out Peter Marks, FDA’s top vaccine scientist Marks, an architect of Operation Warp Speed, warned that a recent measles outbreak shows how confidence in science and public health is being β€œundermined.”

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator.

In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns β€” but said Kennedy wishes β€œsubservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

It's no exaggeration to say there is a torrent of news in South Korea right now. Blinken is visiting, while investigators trying to figure out how/when to arrest Yoon, impeachment trials of Yoon and the impeached PM under prep, ongoing Jeju Air investigation, now a North Korean ballistic missile.

This photo circulating this morning as Yoon spoke for the 1st time since declaring martial law, with a wholehearted defense of his actions. The ajusshi-throwing-soju-bottle photo existed, and someone photoshopped Yoon in. Pretty much captures the mood here right now. (Reposting w/correct caption)

PPP leadership has agreed that they would like Yoon to leave the party. However, PPP has not yet blacklisted his name from the party, and it is illegal to force someone out of a political party against their will.
