What changed between now & Friday’s press release about this now delayed (or actually canceled?) @60minutes.bsky.social segment on the CECOT torture prison? Seems very odd. Anyone know if 60 Minutes has ever delayed a piece at the last minute before?

INSIDE CECOT - Earlier this year, the Trump administration deported hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, a country most had no ties to, claiming they were terrorists. This move sparked an ongoing legal battle, and nine months later the U.S. government still has not released the names of all those deported and placed in CECOT, one of El Salvador's harshest prisons. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi speaks with some of the now released deportees, who describe the brutal and torturous conditions they endured inside CECOT. Oriana Zill de Granados is the producer.

The real numbers on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, tell a very different story than a certain "special" government employee's claims of fraud.

For the last month, I've heard Canadians talking about changing travel. And I thought yeah sure buddy you're going to Disney World .. But, some early travel numbers for this year are stark. We *do* have long memories and we can be very vengeful when provoked, like a beaver or a Canada goose..

The Aphrodite Nebula, goddess of love, dances among celestial clouds of dust and gas, her stellar heart pulsing in the vast void. Like a cosmic beacon, her stars illuminate infinity, weaving wonder and eternity across the universe’s edge.
A digital rendering of a nebula, a celestial cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases, characterized by its visually stunning, swirling patterns and luminous colors. The nebula is set against a vast, black expanse dotted with numerous stars of varying sizes and brightness, which contribute to the overall sense of cosmic vastness. At the heart of the image is a cluster of densely packed stars, emitting a bright, radiant glow that illuminates the surrounding nebula. This radiant energy creates a breathtaking contrast with the darker regions, resulting in a three-dimensional effect that accentuates the nebula’s depth and complexity. The nebula itself is composed of intricate swirls and patterns, painted with a palette of colors ranging from deep blues and purples to warm oranges and reds. These colors blend together seamlessly, forming a visually captivating tapestry of cosmic proportions. The arrangement of the stars and nebula evokes a sense of awe and wonder, transporting the viewer to the far reaches of the universe. The color scheme evokes a mood of tranquility, while the composition creates a balanced and harmonious visual, reminiscent of a work of art.

And Americans would have been better off to pick the fungus as their leader then anything they had as a choice in the last few elections really...

In the Malheur National Forest in Michigan there is a single fungus that stretches nearly four square miles underground with a combined weight of around 35000 tons and an estimated lifespan of around 8500 years. It's the oldest of five humongous funguses within the forest, each genetically distinct.
