I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.
Where is the MAHA outcry?

"Donald Trump is about to order the government to pay him 'damages' for the FBI raid on his Mar-a-Lago mansion and for special prosecutor Jack Smith’s two investigations of him...He’s going to pay himself $230 million."
New from me: Trump and his allies have decided that they are the real victims of the criminal justice system.
And while restrictive immunity laws make it difficult for actual victims to get compensation, Trump plans to just skip the courts and start issuing taxpayer-funded "reparation" checks.

Why did it take several days for Trump’s “Quiet, Piggy” insult of a female reporter to gain traction in news coverage? Because it happened on a Friday night, when many journalists had started their weekend. And because, sadly, he's trained the media to think accepting his insults is part of the job.

Trump used extortion to block a global proposal to slash climate-wrecking pollution from cargo ships. Just when more than 100 nations were ready to sign-on, he threatened countries with big penalties if they voted for the proposal to impose a fee on heavily polluting vessels.

Noem spent over $200 million in taxpayer dollars to film videos over 2xs last year’s budget.
The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS.

insane that you *used to be* able to take an electric train from Seattle to Portland and now such a thing is essentially unthinkable
This postcard of an Oregon Electric train leaving Salem for Portland is often dated to 1908 (with some even saying it depicts the start of service in January of that year), but there's one detail that makes me pretty certain it's from after 1910. Any guesses?
