Canada has ‘nuclear weapon’ in trade war — ban Pornhub in US

“If they take away my access to Pornhub, I’m moving out of the US,” one concerned Manhattan user told The Post.

And you thought they're "nice."

Could Fog Harvesting Solve California's Water Shortages?

Fog harvesting is the practice of capturing tiny water droplets from fog with specialized mesh nets.

I'm pretty sure I heard, just the other day, Trump say he broke in ("broke in" is what he said) to the water in California and now it's running down. "Running down" is what he said. They have more than they know what to do with, is what he said.

And now they're wanting to use nets to catch fog?

O brave new world.

It's not just drugs any more

Eggs Are So Expensive People Are Smuggling Them In From Mexico

First-time offenders get a $300 fine—equivalent to roughly 50 dozen U.S. eggs (or 150 in Mexico).

 Meanwhile, U.S. is importing eggs from Turkey. But they're not (this is confusing) turkey eggs.

Not enough shame to go around

Amazon forest felled to build road for climate summit

Along the partially built road, lush rainforest towers on either side - a reminder of what was once there. Logs are piled high in the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles) through the rainforest into Belém.

These guys don't have any, it seems.

 

Happy Pi Day

What Is Pi, and How Did It Originate?

By the start of the 20th century, about 500 digits of pi were known. With computation advances, thanks to computers, we now know more than the first six billion digits of pi.

If Twinkies go, we are lost

Shoppers Are Skimping on Cigarettes, Doritos and Twinkies

Hershey is trying to boost sales across at least 40% of its convenience store customers with its so-called “gold standard planogram,” which uses data to determine details like the best mix of king- and standard-size candy bars on shelves in a given store. The company is also boosting marketing for core convenience-store brands like Heath, Almond Joy and Mounds, Hershey said.

They may insist on bringing measles back. And, you know, nuclear war. But a world without Twinkies is a horror to great to bear.

EPA Chief Says 31 Actions Being Taken to Roll Back Environmental Regulations

“Today is the greatest day of deregulation our nation has seen,” Zeldin said. “We are driving a dagger straight into the heart of the climate-change religion.”

It's dangerous out there

A Swiss politician was fined for buying pink water pistols online

Prosecutors ordered him to pay a fine totaling 6,500 francs ($7,390) for a violation of weapons law, arguing that it applied even though the pistols were imitations “because they could be confused for real firearms due to their appearance” — despite the pink color.

Trouble in paradise so soon?

MAGA already calling on Trump to fire AG Pam Bondi. Here’s why

"I don’t think we can trust Blondi [sic],” says self-described free thinking investigative journalist Laura Loomer.

Why stop there?

Emphasis on "person"

The Civil War started and ended on the same person’s property

An interesing tidbit. (And that's the U.S. civil war, of course.)

Live updates: Trump says he hates to ‘predict things like that’ when asked if he expects a recession

A long-ago political mentor told me in the early 1960's when the Democrats are in power they always get us into a war, and the Republicans always screw up the economy. The two parties have almost entirely switched sides since then, except apparently on this one thing.
