In a conversation on reddit today someone asked if other languages have phrases like "rightie tightie, leftie loosie" to remember which way to turn screws/lids/etc. And one person answers that in Spanish, the phrase is:

"La derecha oprime, la izquierda libera."

or:

"The right oppresses, the left liberates."

Federal employees killed an endangered Mexican gray wolf.

Affectionately named Rusty by a middle school student in a nationwide contest, the wolf was killed on April 12, leaving behind his likely pregnant mate and several yearling pups.

The market isn't going to self-correct here. We need to find a way to actually stop the lies.

Anyone out there drive a Hyundai Ioniq 5? I’m really intrigued by it as a possible next car. Looking to be a worthy EV but YouTune reviews do t tell the whole story. Thx!

There are Kaiwi and her baby on the beach, and another seal (probably Rocky) in the ocean. And a lot of honu!
I was supposed to just stop by but I was so mesmerized watching them and failed to leave before rain.

Fox News will likely try to recoup the $787 million settlement by negotiating higher carriage fees with cable providers.

Those providers will then pass the extra costs to you by increasing your monthly bill, even if you never watch Fox News

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring a cop formerly specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their proprietary AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

When Tolkien was writing _The Lord of the Rings_, he kept creating more characters for the Shire, but had to stop himself as it was too hobbit forming.

So this is kind of a big deal for all the GM brands, and combined with what should be healthy margins resulting from the Ultium system. #electricvehicles https://insideevs.com/news/662810/gm-full-7500credit-entire-lineup/
