Most of all, Mostafa says, he wishes the Greek coast guard had never approached their boat: “If they had left us be, we wouldn’t have drowned.”

Too angry to comment, except you should read this if you haven’t been following the story.

Don't wonder what will happen if #Russia collapses. It already did! Years ago. It's not a state, it's a mafia front with factions fighting each other for money, resources, and power.

Whatever is happening now, it was already clear Putin wasn't able to control every faction or to keep the infighting quiet or at least non-violent the way he mostly could before.

ANY other government employee accepting free luxury vacations from ANYONE — let alone people with business before that government employee — would be FIRED.

And they’d be fired FOR CAUSE.

While big tech tries to force employees back to the office, smaller tech companies are using remote work as a competitive advantage to hire and retain talent. 81% of firms <5,000 employees allow remote work or have a remote work option.

Liberal Zionists who are trying to save Israel from itself have adopted a term fashioned by the left-- "one-state reality"-- and are calling for U.S. pressure against Jewish colonization of the West Bank.

How many times will Ron DeSantis lose in court? (Again and again...)

I'm sure he thinks he's the victim here, not the trans people caught in the back-and-forth of whether they'll be able to get appropriate treatment in their state.

I'm glad to see yet another restriction on trans people getting care struck down, this time on whether Medicaid will cover treatment.

So I get confused sometimes as to why a racist, misogynistic, molester, and probable alcoholic could have been elected to the supreme court.
Then I remember the racist, misogynistic, molesters, and probable alcoholics that elected him... and it all makes sense again.

I have to repeat myself. Why isn't this on the headline of all newspapers?

Malaria used to be endemic and not uncommon in the United States as far north as Chicago, before being eradicated by large-scale public health campaigns involving the draining of mosquito breeding sites and pesticide spraying.

This resurgence in Florida really wants to happen. The disease and the insect vector are both happy here, and I really wish people appreciated the scale of government involvement required to keep Malaria out.
