I was one of those people who grew up with frozen orange juice in the freezer. I might still have one last can in my freezer right now.
I noticed it was gone from freezer section at my local store yesterday.
There seems to be a lot of 'mystery' about why people stopped buying it…
once again, the media just takes what the press release says and doesn't talk to anyone.
The reason?
It got expensive!
The whole point of the stuff is you could buy 5 cans for a dollar and keep it in your freezer and have orange juice for two weeks.
Now it was often at least $2 per (also noticeably smaller) can... so why bother?

Next step on the STM32MP2, now that I have the MMU mostly brought up, is going to be turning on the caches and figuring out how to flush / invalidate cache lines when I'm exchanging data with other cores.

With the Washington DC mayoral field now wide open,
who will step into the race?
Recently, two names have been bandied about:
D.C. Council members Janeese Lewis George (D-Ward 4)
and Kenyan R. McDuffie (I-At Large).
Lewis George reportedly is on the cusp of launching a bid in the style of fellow democratic socialist and New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

AIs are newly landed alien intelligences.
What we are seeing now are emergent properties that very few people predicted and fewer still understand.
The emerging superintelligence isn’t a machine, as widely predicted,
but a network.
Human intelligence exploded over the last several hundred years not because humans got much smarter as individuals
but because we got smarter as a network.
The same thing is happening with machine intelligence only much fast…

Ty Cobb, an employee of the first Trump administration and a now outspoken critic of the president,
told The Beat on MS NOW Tuesday that the recent shift in Trump’s psychological condition was “palpable.”
That day alone, Trump spent a 90-minute press briefing mumbling to himself over a stack of papers,
alleging that “pirating ships” is the only thing that Somalis succeed at,
claiming that “God is very proud” of his first year back in office,
and alleging that a …

If you’re fed up with Meta right now,
you’re not alone.
Google searches for deleting Facebook and Instagram spiked last week
after Meta announced its latest policy changes.
These changes, seemingly designed to appease the incoming Trump administration,
included loosening Meta’s hate speech policy to allow for the targeting of LGBTQ people and immigrants.
If these changes
—or Meta’s long history of anti-competitive, censorial, and invasive practice…

A new investment thesis has spread through global markets at the start of 2026, as trading strategies long built on the primacy of the United States now opt for a new approach:
Sell America.
The sentiment started to take hold in financial circles after the shock of sky-high tariffs sent stocks and bonds into a tailspin last April,
but it has taken off recently as the Trump administration has pursued policies like attacks on the Federal Reserve’s independence and threats of …

“You understand that it is war, but you don’t realize it properly,” Svetlana, wearing a winter coat with a fur collar, said.
“But now, yes, it has come.”
In her town of Ramenskoye, around 40 kilometers (25 miles) southeast of central Moscow, police had cordoned off an area where a drone hit.
The attack shattered the sense of comfort that Svetlana — a supporter of the Kremlin’s offensive — had

Republican messaging, after intentionally jacking up people’s health insurance costs to insane levels,
has shifted towards “uhhhh we hate insurance companies now, why are they so mean to you.”

While the pictures of Trump flanked by underage girls are hard to look at,
it’s disturbing in another way to see how women who want to earn power from him feel they must look now.
In 2025,
💥“Mar-a-Lago face”
entered the lexicon,
a term used to describe the combination of plastered-on makeup and aggressive plastic surgery
that makes women look like inflatable sex dolls,
as Trump’s apparent sexual tastes have morphed MAGA aesthetics into something inh…
