TIME chose the wrong group of people. The Americans standing up for their neighbors and communities are the REAL people of the year. The people who made the biggest difference and mattered the most.
"Americans have responded: No. These are my neighbors. These are my friends. We go to church together. She carpools my kids to school. Our children play soccer together."

It looks as though the🔥Heat Miser🔥has taken over the latest outlook for Christmas week (Dec 23-29)! There is a high probability of warmer-than-normal temperatures for most of the US. Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and New England have a better chance of seeing "classic" Christmas weather.

Sharks and rays get a major win with new international trade limits for 70+ species
Sharks and rays get a major win with new international trade limits for 70+ species
Sharks have had a tough time since the 1970s, when overfishing, habitat loss and a growing trade in their fins began to cut their populations. ‘Jaws’ didn’t help.

When I was a kid I remember seeing this thing in a magazine where for $200 you could strap four lawn mower motors to a chair and fly around on it and I don't think it was real but part of me still wonders

Amazing to see red blood cells moving through the gills! Don’t forget to check out the supplemental movies ;-)

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I feel like I say this every year but I really need people to hear it. Halloween is the best American holiday. Just kids outside welcomed into their world, marching around together, showing off their costumes to the elderly, parents meeting parents, neighbors catching up with neighbors.

Every party I've gone to I always find myself ready to go like 30 minutes before I should leave so I'm all dressed up just to wait around for a while. Especially pronounced on Halloween lol
