After weeks of weather whiplash, bouncing between winterlike chill and brief teases of spring, residents across the Northeast may finally be ready for a stretch of consistently pleasant conditions.
Any time now.
"The latest wave of Buick vehicles is affordable, are good quality, are decent vehicles, and ruining that with a cost disadvantage could upset Buick as a going entity in the U.S.," said Sam Fiorani, vice president of research firm AutoForecast Solutions.
The Buick models in question may be affordable, good quality, and decent but they are also SUVs. SUVs and trucks are the best-selling vehicle types in the U.S. these days.This may be — I'm just saying may be — they're not so popular outside the U.S. as some people — I'm just saying some people — would like.
But decent is good.
“It is your patriotic duty, I’ll say it again, the patriotic duty of all Americans to take care of themselves because it is important for serving in the military, but it is also important because healthy people don’t consume health care resources,” Oz said during a ceremony at the White House.
“The best way to reduce drug spending is to use less drugs ’cause you don’t need them, ’cause you’re healthy. And it feels a lot better, as well.”
The new medicaid chief is, of course, Dr. Oz. In that capacity he will work for noted health nut RFKJr, who in turn works for a guy who once suggested drinking Clorox to cure covid.
You are in the very best of hands.
“White Castle is helping customers take their legendary Crave to new heights with the launch of a brand-new line of merchandise,” a spokesperson for the restaurant chain said in a news release.
Being a kid ain't what it used to be. Although it's not entirely clear this bounce house is for kids. In case you're wanting a bounce yourself, the house is $3 grand.
Meanwhile White Castle hamburgers, known by the cognizenti as sliders, begin at an outrageous $1.45 (with ketchup).
[CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins' Oval Office questions] are only one egregious example of the over-the-top and inaccurate way in which this case has been framed by Trump critics. But the administration has also engaged in serious distortion of this case, for example when it says that it won in the Supreme Court 9–0.
Hyperbole is the new disinformation. We all should take note. (Yes. including me. Take-a-deep-breath-ism will be our policy going forward.)
I don't know how much of the article linked above you can read without a subscription but the gist is, it's not pretty but it's not what either side claims. Exactly.
(And, on the subject of disinformation, here's another article from the same publication, The Free Press.)
“He’s been through a lot,” said Myrtle’s grateful owner, Tiffany Emanuel. “I know that he knows just as much as I do that every step of the way I’m going to be there helping him, caring for him, making sure he gets, you know, the help that he needs.”
Myrtle the turtle. OK, tortoise. Back in Mississippi.

The two gases - dimethyl sulfide, or DMS, and dimethyl disulfide, or DMDS - involved in Webb's observations of the planet named K2-18 b are generated on Earth by living organisms, primarily microbial life such as marine phytoplankton - algae.
Who knows what those algae might be up to?
Several other digital modernization efforts within the government have met similar fates. The U.S. Digital Service, which helped the government modernize its technology and attract tech talent, has now been subsumed by DOGE, amid mass layoffs and firings. A program called 18F, a technology unit within the GSA, was eliminated by DOGE as well.
An unnamed official at the Pentagon called DOGE's efforts at the Defense Department "damaging and unproductive."
Pilots like Olea, known as lancheros, would earn up to $300 a day, far above the $150 a month many had made from crops. The work grew so lucrative that towns along the river struck a deal to take turns transporting migrants, so each community would have their share.
As some guy (was it Milt?) once said, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
“My client has a yacht being built in Italy, and it would be subject to the tariff charge; so he is canceling the order. My client also canceled on a pair of Ferraris he was going to buy there and have shipped to the United States.”
Meanwhile, a Bloomberg story tucked so far behind a paywall there's no link to it here:
The NLRB, a New Deal-era agency that is tasked with protecting workers' rights to organize and join unions, has for years been a target of America's corporate titans - including Musk - some of whom are now seeking to have the agency's powers declared unconstitutional.
Way too much galloping around.
Now we just copy the data and walk away.
Elon and his minions are merely the latest in a long line of hackers and crackers, governments and corporations, who've been siphoning off our data for years now.
They know more about you than you do.
On average, about 5.5 million are made each day.
That adds up to 2 billion a year — or roughly 6 Peeps for every man, woman and child across the U.S.
Is eight to much to ask? Come on — it's only once a year.
Organisers of the Euroleague, the continent's existing premier club competition, balked at the idea of a new league, however, and said the plans for a new European league amounted to a threat that could fragment the sport.
…Europeans seem insufficiently interested in U.S. basketball.
The United States government announced that it plans to slap a nearly 21 percent tariff on most tomatoes coming from Mexico in the summer…
[Emphasis mine.]“This action will allow U.S. tomato growers to compete fairly in the marketplace,”, the U.S. Commerce Department says. If, however, Mexico or some other country puts a tariff on our products, that's competing unfairly.
After an FBI SWAT team on March 27 raided the home of a 24-year-old Salvadoran man living illegally in Virginia, Attorney General Pam Bondi, standing alongside FBI Director Kash Patel in a morning press conference, alleged the man was one of the top three U.S. leaders of the violent MS-13 street gang and called him a terrorist.Less than two weeks later, the Justice Department moved to drop the only charge it had brought against him -- illegal possession of a firearm by an alien -- and Bondi said he would face deportation instead.
[And a whole lot more.]
…is a story about a lawless government out of control.
What a way to start the week.
"He is alive and secure in that facility. He is detained pursuant to the sovereign, domestic authority of El Salvador."
…what they are freaking out about in DC is what this guy is gonna say if he gets back home.
The very idea that these guys, who tariffed the entire world in order to get them to negotiate, presumably, and threatened to bomb Iran to get them to negotiate can't persuade El Salvadore to put this guy on a plane is ridiculous.
Also, "terrorism confinement center"?"We're constantly dealing with the uncertainty of the future and of our future supply chains," said Steve Shriver, the founder and CEO of Eco Lips, a Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based company that makes organic health and beauty products with ingredients sourced from more than 50 countries and sold in 40,000 stores nationwide. It has annual sales of around $30 million.
Or concert seats. Or toys — by the way, Christmas might be 125% more expensive this year.
This is National Security™ we're talking about here.
