Driving south on I-75 in Florida, I was surprised to see a sign for "Toledo Blade Blvd." Turns out there's a tale ....

I think that I saw them looking for these folks on a bridge in Kletzsch Park yesterday.
"North Shore Fire/Rescue said they responded to the river near the 6500 block of North Milwaukee River Parkway in Glendale at approximately 3:04 p.m. for a report of two people in the river.
After the adult and child were ejected from the kayak in the river they made their way to an island in the river. That's where crews found them standing when they arrived."

What is so bewildering about Trump’s cruelty is how it has been allowed to pass, its casualness.
Donald Trump hovers above the circus of death and chaos.
Trump defies attempts to make his actions cohere with any particular strategy.
His wars, killing of innocents, and indeed, the threatening of entire civilisations are reshaping the world,
but without him even having orchestrated some master plan.
He is animated by little more than momentary impulses and resent…

since I see a lot of gloom re Astral x OpenAI:
⁃ Even if Astral actively (malice) or passively (neglect) ruins uv, Python packaging is 1000x better today than 2 yrs ago.
⁃ Ruff is nice but only nice to have—ty is barely usable. We'll be fine if they vanish today.
⁃ Channelling Buddhism: it’s OK when things change or go away! Expecting things to last forever is an unnecessary source of suffering. But, worst case is that we get the community-maintained pkg mgr you always w…

„The new BMW i3 EV is a road trip monster with 440 miles of range, fast charging, and more“
Viel wichtiger: Der i3 sieht nicht so lächerlich aus, wie die anderen BMW-Modelle mit ihren überdimensionierten Biberzähnen.
Haben die ihren Chefdesigner endlich gefeuert?

Trump’s constant
self-aggrandisement,
his grudges against political adversaries,
the fury at being challenged by the press,
the revenge he promises to wreak on the Iranian regime.
All are ways to erase and avoid what is a permanent terror of humiliation and obsolescence.
“Think of Benito Mussolini,”
wrote the journalist Barbara Grizzuti Harrison in the LA Times,
“jackbooted,
lantern-jawed,
squeakily bombastic,
posturing from…

With a stroke of his pen, Trump made the oil flow on behalf of Sable Offshore
— oil that hadn’t flowed for 10 years.
It began flowing from underwater oil wells located seven miles out to sea.
It flowed up to what used to be Exxon’s massive industrial plant along the Gaviota Coast.
And, ultimately, it flowed into two old pipelines that caused the 2015 massive oil disaster,
-- pipelines so corroded that Sable had to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to patc…
