I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

In fragile ecosystems like Great Nicobar, constitutional wisdom lies in ensuring that transformation is ecologically sustainable, socially just
On February 16, 2026, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) upheld the environmental clearances granted to the Great Nicobar Project. The ruling clears the way for a trans-shipment port, airport expansion, township development and allied infrastructure. But it leaves unresolved a deeper constitutional question: can the large-scale transformation of a fragile island proceed without first establishing its ecological and anthropological limits? Great Nicobar is not vacant territory awaiting strategic fulfilment. It is one of India’s most biologically distinctive and culturally sensitive regions. It hosts the globally vulnerable leatherback sea turtle, the endemic Nicobar megapode, saltwater crocodiles, robber crabs and the Nicobar macaque. These are not peripheral species; they are ecological sentinels of beaches, mangroves and primary rainforest systems that have evolved over millennia in relative isolation. The island is also home to the Shompen, a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), and the Nicobarese community, whose lives are interwoven with forest and coast. The ecological and indigenous questions are not separate; they are structurally linked. NGT’s reasoning is anchored in procedural compliance: whether statutory approvals were obtained, expert bodies consulted and conditions imposed. Yet Indian environmental jurisprudence has long required substantive scrutiny beyond procedural adequacy. In Vellore Citizens’ Welfare Forum v Union...

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
The military industrial complex is cheering today.

I am closely monitoring the ongoing military operations in Iran. International military actions have a direct and profound impact on Maryland’s families and communities.
I served in Afghanistan and I’ve seen who pays the price when Washington rushes into conflict.

Investigative Post obtained video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the Buffalo refugee.
Border Patrol claimed the shop was open. The doors, however were locked. Agents never notified family or lawyers. Shah Alam died 5 days later.

When I read nonfiction, I need to just dive in. No taking notes.
I try to take notes, but then I feel obligated to take notes on every little thing. Then I get tired of the book because I don't want to take notes on it. But if I don't take notes, I might forget all the interesting stuff.
Meh.

In Europe, they’re making arrests over the Epstein scandal. In America, the regime’s making redactions and hiding evidence.

Lie detectors??? Everything they do obviously leads us to believe that they are guilty of criminal activity and have much to hide. They are acting like paranoid minions to a paranoid dictator. It’s so painfully obvious.

Leon doesn't help anyone out. He's a narcissist pedo creep too. He'll only "help" with whatever makes him more $ or gets him more of an in because he is a pathetic lonely loser despite being the wealthiest man on the planet. If he used that $ for good, people would flock to him.

Her lies are always so stupid that I can't figure out if she's that deficient or she just thinks we are.
It's probably both. It's always both with these kinds of people. Stupid and mean.

Kristi Noem Repeatedly Claimed ICE Deported a Cannibal. It Was “Completely Made Up.”
Law enforcement sources told The Intercept that Noem’s tale about a cannibal was a fabrication.
It’s quite rare that a human cannibal would eat themselves. They eat other humans. But according to the puppy killer, they had one munching down on his own arm on a deportation flight?! And if he was eating others, as she said, where’s that investigation?
She’s truly a racist psychopath.

It sounds like the military accidentally shot down a customs and border patrol drone in El Paso.
Accidentally. With a laser.
