They’re not even giving kids a chance to develop their brains or their social world. Hooking them as customers as early as possible.

Gobsmacking statistic in this story: “While city pools and splash pads consume almost 2 million gallons of water over the course of a summer, a single Exxon plastics plant consumes 13 million gallons per day.”

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

"One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests. An area larger than Texas. The largest public land agency in the country. Just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.

And they did it with a press release on a Tuesday."

Trump knows he can get away with promoting abortion pills and war crimes because all he has to do is hold up a Bible or put up a picture of Jesus, and the suckers will believe Christendom has thereby been restored.

It's insane. Never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

@LeahLibresco @diviacaroline When it's a large event like a birthday party where I don't know many of the attendees I'll err on the side of not going. Hitting school age changes the calculus too. I also think this ≠ I think that isolation and precautions during the peak of COVID were a bad thing. (2/2)

@LeahLibresco @diviacaroline I think it's something that's easier among closer friends - I know which families have newborns, immunocompromised people, etc. plus we can inform them beforehand of any illnesses and vice versa so everyone can make informed decisions. (1/2)

Liftoff.

The Artemis II mission launched from @NASAKennedy at 6:35pm ET (2235 UTC), propelling four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.

Artemis II will pave the way for future Moon landings, as well as the next giant leap — astronauts on Mars.

It was a long, harsh winter in D.C. We can finally call it over.

After a long and often harsh season — punctuated by persistent cold, stubborn snow and ice, and a late-season chill this week — the pattern ahead has shifted. Milder air is taking hold, and there are no meaningful signs of a return to sustained cold or accumulating snow.

That means we can officially declare the winter of 2025-2026 behind us.

We’ve made it a tradition to mark the onset of spring once the threat of prolonged cold and lasting snow has passed. The forecast now clearly favors warmer days, budding trees and a steady march toward spring — even if a few bumps remain along the way.

The forecast ahead is promising for flowers — and for fans of warmer weather.

Highs surge into the 60s on Friday and reach the 70s by Sunday. But a warning: Springlike weather doesn’t mean sustained warmth.

Next week, for example, daily highs bounce between the low 50s and mid-60s — a reminder that spring is a season of swings.

Still, there is little sign of any return to sustained wintry weather.

Imagine shuttering a sports section right before the Olympics and Super Bowl.

No … imagine shutting it down right before your country hosts a World Cup!! And two years before it hosts the Summer Olympics!!!

What an absolutely unserious thing to do.
