The Periodic Table Symbol for lead is 'Pb,' which comes from the Latin 'plumbum,' meaning "lead."

Early pipes were made of lead, so people who worked with pipes became 'plumbers.'

A reminder that at almost 5,000 riders on a busy day, DollyWood's heritage steam train ride has the highest ridership of any rail transit in Tennessee. Dolly Parton was one of the largest transit operators in the south. An icon.

Hasan Piker : "My argument has always been simple: I am unbelievably privileged, okay? I am unbelievably fortunate. My job is basically like winning the lottery every single day and I never take it for granted. From my position, I don't think people should have to be winning the lottery every single day to have autonomy in their lives. To have a little bit of time off when they want to spend time with their friends and family. To have disposable income. To enjoy things. To purchase treats. To find some meaning in their lives. That's my argument. My argument is it's crazy to have to be insanely lucky to get to this position of power and privilege. We have an abundance of treats and a surplus of food. It doesn't make any sense that in the wealthiest nation on earth, there are 600,000 people that are sleeping outdoors every night. That makes no sense."

The Soviets destroying the Kwantung Army in 1945 Manchuria was Desert Storm before Desert Storm in terms of the decisiveness, speed, and relative size parity between the militaries of both sides. It might even be a much more impressive achievement.

Japan surrendered because of how fast the Soviets rolled through their strongest and most elite military arm. Not the nukes.

Yet nobody even knows about it because Ameriburgers run global media.

BREAKING: Iran has completely ruled out any future negotiations with the Trump administration, declaring it will wait out Donald Trump's term until January 20, 2029, per Iranian outlets and Ghalibaf advisor's post.

"Trump will not reach an agreement with us. We will accompany him until his term ends," said Majid Shakeri, advisor to Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf.

He posted: "The path to victory is neither fighting nor a deal — it is managing the process of neither war nor peace, up to the point of victory. Publicly confirming negotiations with the U.S. is sheer folly. The winning approach is denial, ambiguity, and strategic patience."

Iran's conditions remain unchanged: $300 billion in compensation, release of frozen assets, and withdrawal of U.S. forces. Until then, the Strait stays closed.

That's important. It shows what they want to do. He rose to fame by butchering settlers suspected of pro-slavery feelings in front of their families"

“No business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

By living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level – I mean the wages of decent living.”

Mitch McConnell is actually the best Metaphor for, and representation of, America and our political system. He spent almost a century making the world a better place for only himself and his friends, married an immigrant while working tirelessly against other immigrants, manipulated the system to increase his power only to be usurped & made impotent by someone even more unethical, unscrupulous and power hungry. Then when the system is finally done with him, they keep his dead body on life support just to use him for one more power move until finally allowing him sweet sweet death while his wife flees the country and his children go into hiding. And when it's all said and done, he'll be best remembered for a meme that made him into a turtle. America.

Hi! 👋 Child of a landlord here. My stepfather isn’t using your rent money to improve your unit—that driveway is never getting fixed. He’s in Amsterdam *right now* doing mushrooms in a $600/night Airbnb.

Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.

If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.
