Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

“We’re seeing how the confluence of social media influencers is being amplified by forces in the government,” said University of Maryland professor Sarah Oates, who has studied Russian propaganda for 30 years. “There’s an argument to be made that they’re not influencers, they’re propagandists.”

In Trump 2.0, MAGA-aligned influencers and media emerge as the new mainstream
A Reuters examination details how rightist influencers and Trump officials have formed a powerful alliance, working together to target perceived adversaries, amplify false claims and reshape the media landscape. The shift comes as a growing number of social platforms and traditional outlets accommodate Trump.

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

Amid claims that left-wing terrorism is rising, what do the data say?
The assassination of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk has reanimated claims that the left is increasingly responsible for terrorist activity in the U.S. But the data paints a more complicated picture.

Congrats Dems, you just handed the largest propaganda tool imaginable to Trump.
REPORTER: Now that Americans will have operational control of TikTok, do you want to see the algorithm suggest more MAGA-related content?
TRUMP: I always like MAGA-related. If I could make it 100% MAGA I would, but it's not gonna work out that way unfortunately.
